Speaking of which, there a few modern Federalist Papers floating around. They are claimed to be easier to read versions of the originals and some might be. For sure there are others that while being called Federalist Papers they actually lay out modern plans for the Federal government.

Be careful with that stuff if you are into it.

I went to a two week group reading and study of those papers about a month ago. Very interesting stuff, and I prefer the originals.
