The Constitution of the United States of America is the supreme law of the United States. It is the foundation and source of the legal authority underlying the existence of the United States of America and the Federal Government of the United States. It provides the framework for the organization of the United States Government. The document defines the three main branches of the government: The legislative branch with a bicameral Congress, an executive branch led by the President, and a judicial branch headed by the Supreme Court. Besides providing for the organization of these branches, the Constitution outlines obligations of each office, as well as provides what powers each branch may exercise. It also reserves numerous rights for the individual states, thereby establishing the United States federal system of government. It is the shortest and oldest written constitution of any major sovereign state.The United States Constitution was adopted on September 17, 1787, by the Constitutional Convention (or Constitutional Congress[citation needed]) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and later ratified by conventions in each U.S. state in the name of "The People"; it has since been amended twenty-seven times, the first ten amendments being known as the Bill of Rights. The Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union was actually the first constitution of the United States of America. The U.S. Constitution replaced the Articles of Confederation as the governing document for the United States after being ratified by nine states. The Constitution has a central place in United States law and political culture. The handwritten, or "engrossed", original document penned by Jacob Shallus is on display at the National Archives and Records Administration in Washington, D.C.

The Federalist Papers are a series of 85 articles advocating the ratification of the United States Constitution. Seventy-seven of the essays were published serially in The Independent Journal and The New York Packet between October 1787 and August 1788. A compilation of these and eight others, called The Federalist, was published in 1788 by J. and A. McLean.The Federalist Papers serve as a primary source for interpretation of the Constitution, as they outline the philosophy and motivation of the proposed system of government. The authors of the Federalist Papers wanted to both influence the vote in favor of ratification and shape future interpretations of the Constitution. According to historian Richard B. Morris, they are an "incomparable exposition of the Constitution, a classic in political science unsurpassed in both breadth and depth by the product of any later American writer."

The Three Musketeers is a historical novel by Alexandre Dumas. Set in 16251628, it recounts the adventures of a young man named dArtagnan (based on Charles de Batz-Castelmore dArtagnan) after he leaves home to travel to Paris, to join the Musketeers of the Guard. Although DArtagnan is not able to join this elite corps immediately, he befriends the three most formidable musketeers of the age: Athos, Porthos and Aramis and gets involved in affairs of the state and court. In genre, The Three Musketeers is primarily a historical and adventure novel. However, Dumas also frequently works into the plot various injustices, abuses, and absurdities of the old regime, giving the novel an additional political aspect at a time when the debate in France between republicans and monarchists was still fierce. The story was first serialised from March to July 1844, during the July Monarchy, four years before the French Revolution of 1848 violently established the Second Republic. The authors father, Thomas-Alexandre Dumas, had been a well-known General in Frances Republican army during the French Revolutionary Wars. The story of dArtagnan is continued in Twenty Years After and The Vicomte of Bragelonne: Ten Years Later.

In Elizabeth Gaskells iconic novel North and South, readers are transported to the industrial landscape of 19th century England where the stark differences between the North and South are vividly portrayed through the eyes of the main characters, Margaret Hale and John Thornton. Gaskells writing style interweaves social commentary with elements of romance, making the story a compelling read for those interested in Victorian literature. The novel explores themes of class conflict, industrialization, and personal growth in a rapidly changing society, offering a nuanced perspective on the complexities of the time period. Gaskells sharp observations and nuanced characterizations bring the world of North and South to life, drawing readers into the societal struggles and personal relationships that drive the narrative. Elizabeth Gaskell, a prominent female author of the Victorian era, drew inspiration from her own experiences and observations of social injustices, which are reflected in her novels. North and South is a testament to Gaskells skill as a storyteller and her ability to capture the essence of a tumultuous period in British history. I highly recommend North and South to readers who enjoy thought-provoking literature that delves into the intricacies of society and human nature, offering a compelling journey through the landscapes of 19th century England.

The Man in the Iron Mask is the name given to an unidentified prisoner who was arrested in 1669 or 1670 and subsequently held in a number of French prisons, including the Bastille and the Fortress of Pignerol (modern Pinerolo, Italy). Recent research suggests that his name might have been "Eustache Dauger", but this still has not been completely proven. He was held in the custody of the same jailer, Benigne Dauvergne de Saint-Mars, for a period of 34 years. He died on 19 November 1703 under the name "Marchioly", during the reign of Louis XIV of France (16431715). Since no one ever saw his face because it was hidden by a mask of black velvet cloth, the true identity of the prisoner remains a mystery even today; it has been extensively debated by historians, and various theories have been expounded in numerous books and films. Writer and philosopher Voltaire claimed in the second edition of his Questions sur lEncyclopedie (published in 1771) that the prisoner wore a mask made of iron rather than of cloth, and that he was the older, illegitimate brother of Louis XIV. In the late 1840s, writer Alexandre Dumas elaborated on the story in the novel The Vicomte of Bragelonne: Ten Years Later, the final installment of his classic DArtagnan saga: here the prisoner is forced to wear an iron mask and is Louis XIVs identical twin. Dumas also presented a review of the popular theories about the prisoner extant in his time in the chapter "Lhomme au masque de fer" in the sixth volume of his Crimes Celebres. What little is known about the historical Man in the Iron Mask is based mainly on correspondence between Saint-Mars and his superiors in Paris. [...]
