This modernized, and slightly simplified, English translation of Federalist No. 10 is a study aid for students. Undergraduate students often have difficulty understanding The Federalist Papers, despite the fact that modern American English has not significantly changed since its writing. Moreover, The Federalist Papers were published in newspapers for the purpose of persuading ordinary citizens of New York to ratify the U.S. Constitution. Nevertheless, some words employed in The Federalist are used differently today, and modern readers appreciate shorter and simpler sentences than readers in Madison’s day.
