The main aim of this paper is to investigate various structural properties of hyperplanes of $c$, the Banach space of the convergent sequences. In particular, we give an explicit formula for the projection constants and prove that an hyperplane of $c$ is isometric to the whole space if and only if it is 1-complemented. Moreover, we obtain the classification of those hyperplanes for which their duals are isometric to ${{\ell }_{1}}$ and give a complete description of the preduals of ${{\ell }_{1}}$ under the assumption that the standard basis of ${{\ell }_{1}}$ is weak$^{*}$-convergent.
