1. All You Want to Know About Giants of Political
Thought: Common Sense and the Declaration of
Independence, the Federalist Papers
Francis Bacon said that Knowledge is Power. But we often don't have time to read
and gain all the knowledge we would like. The Giants of Political Thoughts provides
an easy, systematic way to broaden your mind and your awareness of the greatest
documents in our country's history and the great minds behind them.Thomas Paine's
Common Sense was the best-selling pamphlet in American history. By persuading
thousands of Americans to join the cause of independence, it became the
inspirational spark behind the American Revolution.The Declaration of Independence,
drafted by Thomas Jefferson, is a brilliant summary of the philosophy and ideas
behind the American Revolution. This tightly worded, logical essay has become one
of the most famous political documents in American history.Published as a series of
newspaper articles, The Federalist Papers, written by Alexander Hamilton, James
Madison, and John Jay, contain many of the ideas that made the American
Revolution a remarkable political experiment. It has been called the third most
important document in American history-third only to the Declaration of Independence
and the Constitution itself.Authoritative, fascinating, and entertaining, The Giants of
Political Thought is a truly unique way to learn about the documents that made our
country great.
