Thomas Paine 

Common Sense 

introduction by richard bEEman 

Published anonymously in 1776, six months 

before the Declaration of Independence, 

Common Sense was a radical and impassioned 

call for America to free itself and set up an independent 

republican government. Savagely 

attacking hereditary kingship and aristocratic 

institutions, Paine urged a new beginning for 

his adopted country in which personal freedom 

and social equality would be upheld and 

economic and cultural progress encouraged.

The Declaration of 

Independence and the 

United States Constitution 

annotatEd with an introduction 

by richard bEEman 

No citizen of the United States should be 

without the Declaration and the Constitution, 

the most important documents in the 

nation’s history. Richard Beeman’s annotations 

and modernizing commentary make 

these foundational and indispensable texts 

approachable for all, showing why they remain 

at the core of modern American life.

Supreme Court Decisions 


by Jay m. FEinman 

Legal expert Jay M. Feinman introduces and 

selects some of the most important Supreme 

Court Decisions of all time, which touch on the 

very foundations of American society. These 

cases cover a vast array of issues, from the powers 

of government and freedom of speech to 

freedom of religion and civil liberties.

Abraham Lincoln 

Lincoln Speeches 


by allEn c. GuElzo 

Abraham Lincoln endowed all of his rhetoric 

with vigor and moral energy, no matter the 

subject: the duty of the citizenry, the coming 

of freedom, the meaning of governance, 

the evils of slavery, the value of progress. The 

speeches selected for this volume by Lincoln 

expert Allen C. Guelzo are a testament to our 

history and a window into the mind of one of 

America’s greatest leaders.

Alexander Hamilton, James 

Madison, and John Jay 

The Federalist Papers 


by richard bEEman 

Written at a time when furious arguments 

were raging about the best way to govern 

America, The Federalist Papers had the immediate 

practical aim of persuading New 

Yorkers to accept the newly drafted Constitution 

in 1787. Beeman’s analysis helps clarify 

the goals, at once separate and in concert, 

of Madison, Hamilton, and Jay during their 

writing, and his selections show the array of 

issues—both philosophical and policy-specific—covered 

by this body of work.
