From what I read on wikipedia the 170 text does a very good job of explaining the nature of democracy in the US, and makes a number of predictions that pan out regarding party politics, but in your view is it still relevant for the America of the 21st century? It is. DiA provides a very good picture on the character of the early American republic. It's very interesting to see how that character has progressed to the present day.
