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; or, The New Constitution, was published in two volumes in 1788 by J. and A. McLean.[1] The series’s correct title is The Federalist; the title The Federalist Papers did not emerge until the twentieth century.
The Federalist remains a primary source for interpretation of the U.S. Constitution, as the essays outline a lucid and compelling version of the philosophy and motivation of the proposed system of government.[2] The authors of The Federalist wanted both to influence the vote in favor of ratification and to 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.”[3]
Well, not ever having been accused of “Knowing my own limits,” I’m starting a series I call“The Conservative Papers”. The Conservative Papers are a collection of new essays, blog posts, newspaper articles, and other source media dealing with issues of the day from a decidedly Conservative viewpoint.

Part III is “Why am I a friend of Israel?” (Foreign Relations)
Part IV is “Dick Morris Gets It Right; It’s The Conservatism, Stupid!” (Conservative Theory)

Great blog – I found you through the article about the OB’s lack of law licenses.
You might want to check into a conservative Christian site based on the Founding Fathers, The Federalist and the Constitution. It’s very well written, well researched and somewhat tongue in cheek at times for a little relief from the madness.
