By Mary E. Webster
xMary E Webster started reading The Federalist Papers in 1994, "translating" them into easier-to-read English so that she could understand them. Her first translation, The Federalist Papers: In Modern Language, was published in 1999. In 2008, she published a 10th-grade reading-level edition, The Federalist Papers: Modern English Edition Two. That same year she also published a book of summaries of all 85 Papers.
