Last summer, while on vacation, I decided
to read the Federalist Papers. The last presidential election raised
so many issues and questions that I was curious about the history behind
it all. You should remember from your high school history classes that
the United States declared independence from England, signed the Articles
of Confederation, and then later signed the Constitution. The Federalist
Papers discuss the situation in this country after the Articles of Confederation
were written. The papers encouraged the changes proposed in the new
Constitution. These papers, written by Hamilton, Madison, and Jay around
1787, were published in a New York newspaper.
I did find what I wanted about the elections
and the electoral process from the papers. And, as an added bonus, it
gave me a different outlook on the current events. I came away with
confidence in the U.S. government. Itıs fairly dry reading, but I guess
Iım accustomed to such reading from all the technical manuals I get
as an embedded engineer.
