The Federalist Papers were written in 1787-1788 and they explain the US Constitution. The Federalist Papers: In Modern Language (1999) was Webster's first "translation" of the Papers. However, it was still quite difficult to read. This new edition of the Federalist Papers has been "translated" into 10th-grade reading level.
