Volume 3 of this series includes writings by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, John Adams, Noah Webster, Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, George Washington, James Monroe, Eli Whitney and many others. Writings include "The Constitution of the United States", "Federalist Papers", "The Bill of Rights" and many others. The history of our country is often taught as a series of inevitable occurrences, but a reading of these writings will show that more often than not it was a series of lucky show more accidents. It's amazing that it turned out as well as it did. show less
