The eighty-five famous essays by Hamilton, Madison, and Jay--known collectively as the Federalist Papers--comprise the lens through which we typically view the ideas behind the U.S. Constitution.

ISBN: 9781137281364 / Angielski / Twarda / 185 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

This book is a look back at the importance of all the right moves made by Bill...

In The Presidential Road Show: Public Leadership in an Era of Party Polarization and Media Fragmentation, Diane J.
