For the founders, an elective monarchy was just as bad as an hereditary one – because the core issue was the power of discretion. On this episode, it’s 6 of the most dangerous powers of a king as the founders understood them. And you just might recognize every single one of them today.

The founders knew – freedom cannot exist with a government – that doesn’t have strict rules, a clear line in the sand that it’s not allowed to cross. In other words, when government determines the extent of its own power. On this episode, how lessons learned in the American Revolution gave birth to the written constitution. And more importantly, the real reasons it exists – that the government-run schools completely ignore.

Declaration of Independence: That long list of charges against the king aren’t mere “grievances.” That word isn’t even in the text. They Founders didn’t secede and fight a long, bloody war over mere complaints about bad policy. American Independence was built on something else spelled out in the text itself, and understood by everyone at the time.

“For transporting us beyond seas, to be tried for pretended offences.” From the Declaration of Independence, one of the charges against the King that justified secession. It was built on a violent American raid on the British few of us are ever taught about. In the early hours of June 10, 1772, a band of Rhode Islanders rowed out in the dark, shot and seriously wounded a Royal Navy commander, captured the crew and burned his ship to the waterline. The Crown moved to drag them 3000 miles across the ocean to hang. On this Episode – The Crown called it treason. The Patriots called it self-defense

“Unconditional submission” or “resistance by force.” Thomas Jefferson, John Dickinson, and the Second Continental Congress said those were their two terrible options less than 3 months after the battles of Lexington and Concord. Live on their knees or fight to the death. They chose the latter. On this episode, it’s one of the most important, but forgotten and ignored documents of the American Revolution: the one that detailed their decision, why they were fighting BACK.

“The dupes of other men.” Noah Webster told us exactly what happens when people join a political party – they become mindless puppets of people in power. His timeless warning that “faction is death to liberty” is one we can’t afford to ignore any longer.

“Remember, my friends, from whom you sprang.” For 13 years after the Boston Massacre of March 5, 1770 – the Sons of Liberty laid out an uncompromising blueprint for a free people, the foundation of the revolution. What they fought for – in their own words. And the brutal question: have we remembered, or did we let this country become a den of thieves?

The executive, James Madison warned, is the branch of power most interested in and prone to war. Empowering it to both declare and wage war, not only guarantees endless war, it’s a ROYAL power the founders fought to free themselves from. That’s why a free people must disarm the president from this potential.

January 8, 1790: George Washington delivered the first State of the Union. It wasn’t a royal decree. It was a job report. No applause. No guests. Just the shortest annual message in history. He could have acted like a king. Instead, he called for an armed, educated people ready to defend their own liberty. He established the standard for a free republic – defense, war powers, education, debt and more – and showed us exactly how it’s done.

The Anti-Federalist vs Federalist debate you were never taught. It wasn’t about checks and balances. It was about one word: TRUST. The Anti-Federalists said you can NEVER trust the man. The Federalists countered – maybe so, but you CAN trust the PLAN. It was a core conflict over ratification – and an ironic twist that tells us which side was right.

The post It Wasn’t Checks and Balances. It Was Trust. appeared first on Tenth Amendment Center.

View Details

The Anti-Federalists weren’t just arguing politics; they were issuing dire warnings for generations to come. They predicted the Constitution contained the seeds of tyranny that would lead to a corrupt aristocracy or monarchy. On this episode, we explore five of their specific predictions and ask the essential question: Were they right?

The post The Anti-Federalists Warned Us. We Didn’t Listen. appeared first on Tenth Amendment Center.

View Details

In America, the law is king. But here’s what the schools don’t teach: even government’s laws aren’t above THE law. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land – acts beyond it are void. The Founders told us over and over: violating these so-called “laws” isn’t inherently wrong. As Patrick Henry put it, we’re “not bound to yield obedience.” And sometimes, it’s duty. This is the revolutionary case for disobedience that built America.

On October 20th, 1774, the First Continental Congress passed the Continental Association, a coordinated economic shutdown in response to relentless attacks by the British Empire, including the hated Coercive Acts. It was a four pronged strategy that included a revolutionary, local enforcement mechanism – taking over with self-government from the bottom up.

The First Continental Congress met in 1774 to respond to the hated Coercive Acts – Parliament’s brutal punishment for the Boston Tea Party. They had a decision: submit to tyranny, or resist. Their answer was the Declaration and Resolves of the First Continental Congress. On this episode, one of the most important and most forgotten documents of the American Revolution. A direct precursor to both the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights.

Life, liberty, and property weren’t just theories – they were the foundation of the American Revolution. John Locke wrote them, the Declaration adopted them, but Samuel Adams turned them into action. In 1772, he drafted an incredibly important, but almost totally forgotten document that led to the network of communication and resistance and laid the groundwork for independence.

“A republic …if you can keep it.” We’ve all heard Benjamin Franklin’s famous “constitution day” line. But he wasn’t warning about government, or even the Constitution itself. He was warning us – about us. In his final speech at the Philadelphia Convention, Franklin also issued another warning – a dire prediction of how it would all end. In this episode, we dig into those warnings to understand what “keeping it” really meant to Franklin, Madison, Adams, Dickinson, and so many others who knew that words on paper would never be enough.

George Washington didn’t retire quietly – in his Farewell Address, he warned America what was coming. He described how power-hungry factions would tear the country apart, poisoning debate, inviting corruption, and driving people to trade freedom for false security. The result? A “frightful despotism” – permanent tyranny rising from within. The most chilling part? His dire warning is the one almost everyone ignores today.

Two vague words gave Congress unlimited power. It’s the greatest Constitutional scam in American history. In 1791, Alexander Hamilton laid down the blueprint. Jefferson, Madison, and others immediately called it a profound betrayal, warning that if Hamilton’s view won, every other limit on power would be meaningless. This was the turning point for the future of the republic – and the story they never want you to know.

George Mason said the militia consisted of the whole people. Today, that definition has been twisted, ignored, or totally forgotten. Talk about militia and most people will look at you like some kind of fringe nutjob. But the founders saw the militia as a highly armed and trained general population that was essential to the security and liberty of a free republic. In this episode, we dig into what that really meant, the Anti-Federalist warnings about congressional power over the militia, and how they absolutely called it.

The post Who are the Militia? YOU. first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.

View Details

Does the federal government have unilateral power to call forth the militia? During the War of 1812, New England states not only said no, but they used the principles of the 10th Amendment to actively interpose and resist federal demands for mobilizing the militia.

The Founders didn’t secede from an empire over taxes or tea. They fought a war against unlimited, centralized power. The 10th Amendment was their answer. Power is not assumed. It must be granted.

John Taylor smacked down Chief Justice John Marshall – who followed Alexander Hamilton’s playbook to twist the meaning of words – like the necessary and proper clause – to support a national bank. Taylor called it “construction,” and saw a catastrophe coming. He was no mere critic. He was prophetic.

“A little rebellion now and then is a good thing.” Jefferson didn’t just say it – he meant it, even when he opposed the cause. Because the principle was bigger than the moment: resistance is what keeps government in check. This episode makes the case with hard truth from Jefferson, Spooner, Adams, Locke, and more – showing that liberty survives through backbone, not permission.

There is no situation – ever – where the President can unilaterally take the United States to war. No emergency. No exception. No loophole. James Madison made this absolutely clear, again and again. And when he became president, he followed that rule to the letter – not once, but twice – in the heat of war. In this episode: the father of the Constitution vs the modern myth of unilateral executive war power.

Benjamin Franklin warned, “This can only end in despotism.” He knew that when the people themselves become corrupt, liberty doesn’t stand a chance. He wasn’t alone – founders and the great thinkers they learned from saw it over and over again: no matter the system, no matter the laws, once the people decay, tyranny follows. Guaranteed. And today, we’re on that same path – not because we’re being forced, but because we’ve chosen it. This episode is about the one corruption no constitution can fix: the corruption of the people themselves.

Again and again, the leading minds of the American founding warned that debt would lead to corruption, war, tyranny – and collapse. Today, that curse is bigger than ever – and it’s still growing. In this episode, you’ll hear what the founders actually said – warnings we can’t afford to ignore any longer.

On June 7, 1776, Richard Henry Lee stood before the Continental Congress with a resolution declaring that the united colonies were free and independent states, and that all political connection between them and Great Britain was “totally dissolved.” It also called for foreign alliances and a plan that would become the Articles of Confederation. The Lee Resolution was the culmination of a series of revolutionary measures that had already begun secession from the British Empire. This is the story behind the Declaration of Independence that most people never learn about.

The post The Forgotten Resolutions That Actually Started Independence first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.

View Details

In 1765, after the British passed the Stamp Act, a 29-year-old freshman legislator in Virginia named Patrick Henry pushed back – hard. His Virginia Resolves didn’t just protest a tax; they rejected Parliament’s power outright and called for resistance. “If this be treason…” he thundered in support of them. When government tried to silence the message, Henry stood firm – and the other colonies joined in, publishing every single word. On this episode, learn the defiance, the suppression, and the spark that lit the fuse.

The first step to tyranny is always the same: silence your opposition. Once they take your voice, everything else comes easy. That’s exactly what the British Empire did throughout the American Revolution. Using seditious libel as their legal foundation, they repeatedly attacked the rights to speak, print, and assemble. On this episode, we expose how what we now call cancel culture was nothing new. The Founders lived under it. And they fought back.

It wasn’t about tea. It was about power – the principle that Parliament could tax the colonies without consent. Even a “trifling sum” meant surrender. The Tea Act was a trap, a test of obedience. And the Revolutionaries chose resistance. On this episode, we break the lie wide open: cheaper tea wasn’t peace – it was submission. And they refused to drink it.

They call it “just this once.” But that’s how it always begins. One unconstitutional act becomes a precedent – and suddenly, lawless power becomes routine. From Tacitus to Paine, Dickinson to Washington, history has screamed the warning: precedent is how tyranny becomes law. In this episode, we trace the oldest trick in the tyrant’s playbook – and why free people must resist it before it’s too late.

The Founders didn’t just fight tyranny – they defined exactly what it was: arbitrary power. In this episode, we dig into how they viewed it, why they saw it as the ultimate threat to liberty, and how it shaped everything from the Declaration of Independence to the creation of written constitutions. Drawing from Otis, Adams, Jefferson, Locke, and more, we break down the core principle behind the American Revolution – and why every step beyond the Constitution isn’t just wrong – it’s a lawless recipe for disaster.

They want you to think the War for Independence was about taxes. The truth? The fighting started with gun control. On April 19, 1775 – at Lexington and Concord – the patriots fought back against long-standing usurpations of power, now being enforced through an aggressive British disarmament campaign. This is the story they never teach in government-run schools.

James Madison called it absurd to say Congress may do whatever it wants under the general Welfare clause. But that’s exactly how politicians treat it today – as a blank check for nearly unlimited power. In this episode, you’ll learn the original meaning of the clause, as understood when the Constitution was ratified. You’ll also hear warnings from Madison and Thomas Jefferson about what would happen if that meaning was ignored – and how their predictions match the government we live under today.

The Constitution draws a line between the powers of each branch of the federal government. Just like “legislating from the bench,” when Congress hands its lawmaking power to the executive, it’s not just bad policy – it’s unconstitutional. It breaks the separation of powers and leads down the road to total tyranny. In this episode, we dig into the forgotten cornerstone of the Constitution: the non-delegation doctrine.

TREASON. INVASION. CONQUEST. The Founders didn’t see unconstitutional power as just bad policy – they saw it as a kind of war against the people. In this episode, we dig deep into forgotten principles from Locke, Sidney, Paine, and others who shaped the Revolution. Because when government violates the Constitution, it’s not just a mistake – it’s an attack on your liberty.

“An unconstitutional judicial decision is no more binding than an unconstitutional legislative act.” With that one line, Lysander Spooner demolished the dangerous myth of judicial supremacy – the idea that a court’s opinion becomes law simply because judges say so. In this episode, we break down Spooner’s powerful insights and warnings, echoing the words of many Founders who’ve been long forgotten today. The truth is simple and radical: the Constitution is the supreme law of the land – not the opinions of unelected judges. Judicial supremacy isn’t just unconstitutional. It’s tyranny.

Federal law is NOT always supreme – far from it. That’s a myth ripped straight from the British system that sparked the American Revolution. This episode exposes the Supremacy Clause Hoax – one of the worst distortions of the Constitution, pushing the idea that the federal government holds virtually unlimited power. The Founders fought a long, bloody war to escape that very system – yet today, it’s being embraced once again.

On March 18, 1766, the British Parliament repealed the Stamp Act – but on the very same day, they passed something far more dangerous: the Declaratory Act. This law claimed Parliament had the power to make laws “in all cases whatsoever” over the American colonies and people. It wasn’t just about taxes or representation – it was about unlimited, centralized power. Decades later, James Madison called this the “fundamental principle” behind independence. John Hancock, Thomas Paine, John Dickinson, and Thomas Jefferson all saw it as the true cause of the Revolution. But they never teach this in government-run schools.

In 1771, James Lovell stood before a massive crowd in Boston to deliver a speech commemorating the first anniversary of the Boston Massacre on March 5, 1770. His oration left no room for compromise: warning against standing armies, defending the people’s right to bear arms, declaring freedom as a birthright, and rejecting Parliament’s authority over the colonies entirely. This episode explores James Lovell’s powerful speech, its aftermath, and a background story about Paul Revere’s role in the commemoration of the Boston Massacre.

Almost everything in modern “constitutional law” is based on a myth that dates back to Chief Justice John Marshall and the 1803 case of Marbury v. Madison. According to the myth, Marshall not only CREATED the power of judicial review but also established judicial SUPREMACY – giving the courts ultimate authority over the other branches, the states, and even the people. In this episode, we smash that myth to pieces and reveal the true story behind Marbury.

Almost everything we’ve been taught about the Whiskey Rebellion is based on a coverup – one designed to push the myth that federal power is unbeatable and resistance is futile. But the real history tells a very different story. This was a powerful movement of tax resistance that ultimately nullified the hated excise tax into oblivion. In this episode, learn the forgotten examples of resistance from Kentucky, North Carolina, Virginia, and more.

The Constitution is supreme – not acts of Congress, not a president’s views, and not court opinions. The Framers repeatedly affirmed this. So, who decides when the Constitution is violated? For the Founders, the answer was everyone. And that’s the key to what we’re covering in this episode – how real checks and balances were designed to work.

“Until war is Constitutionally declared, the nation and all its members must observe and preserve peace.” That was John Jay, the first Chief Justice of the United States. But today, few people even understand what this means – or how Founders like Washington, Adams, Jefferson, and Madison put it into practice. In this episode, we’re shattering three of the biggest modern myths about war powers and the Constitution. What did the Founders actually say? How did they act when faced with war?

Even Alexander Hamilton – no opponent of big, centralized government – held a far more restrictive view of executive power on “recess appointments” than most politicians and judges today. That tells you just how far things have gone off the rails. In this episode, we’re breaking down one of the most misunderstood parts of the Constitution – the Recess Appointments Clause. We’ll cover how the Founders viewed the clause, what they meant by recess, adjournment, and happen, and three key takeaways that expose how modern practices have strayed from the Constitution’s original design.

The “customary weapon” to destroy freedom. That’s how George Washington described the danger of turning a blind eye to violations of the Constitution – and he wasn’t alone.

Elbridge Gerry warned that “the existence of their liberties will soon be terminated” under the Constitution without significant amendments. As one of the most active delegates at the Philadelphia Convention, Gerry ultimately refused to sign the final document. Shortly after, he wrote a letter outlining his objections to ratification, which became a highly influential Anti-Federalist essay. In this episode, we’ll explore his top objections, including ambiguous powers like the necessary and proper clause, the dangers of excessive consolidation, and more

An act against the Constitution is no law at all – it’s void. This principle, rooted in the American Revolution and the debates over the Constitution’s ratification, was central to President Thomas Jefferson’s response to the Sedition Act of 1798. In this episode, we explore how Jefferson’s adherence to his oath to the Constitution led him to treat this attack on freedom of speech as null and void – regardless of whether Congress, the courts, or anyone else agreed.

The 10th Amendment, peace, cutting spending and debt, and eliminating taxes – these are just a few of the key principles Thomas Jefferson outlined in his first inaugural address. Easily one of the most important presidential speeches in American history, Jefferson’s inaugural laid out a bold and clear vision: a blueprint for liberty, unity, and strictly limited government under the Constitution. In this video, we’ll dive into the context of Jefferson’s election and address, his unwavering emphasis on peace, and the 13 essential principles of his administration. Over two centuries later, his message remains more vital than ever.

To truly understand their warnings, we’ll explore the ideas that inspired them – especially the sharp insights of Thomas Gordon and John Trenchard, authors of Cato’s Letters and Gordon’s Works of Sallust. Their words, written nearly 300 years ago, reveal truths about political division that remain just as relevant today. Some things, it seems, never really change.

One of the most influential Anti-Federalist essays against the Constitution didn’t come from a single writer. It came from a group of delegates at the Pennsylvania ratifying convention. Their warnings – about centralization of power, corruption, and more – might sound eerily familiar today. And make sure to stick around, because at the end, we’ll dive into what they considered federalist dirty tricks used to push the process through

The natural right of self defence is one of our most essential rights, part of the first law of nature. But that hasn’t stopped governments from violating it. So the founders told us over and over that it’s up to us – the people of the states – to protect and defend our own constitution and our own liberty – whether the government likes it, or not. In this episode, we’re applying their principles and strategy to protect and defend the 2nd Amendment from federal violations.

“I would wish the debt paid tomorrow; he wishes it never to be paid, but always to be a thing wherewith to corrupt and manage the legislature.” This slapback from Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson was aimed squarely at Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton. These two – along with Edmund Randolph and Henry Knox – made up Washington’s first cabinet, a group filled with some major ideological clashes. In this episode, we’ll explore how their divisive views on issues like the national debt and a national bank created a rift so deep it helped give rise to America’s first two-party system.

“We cannot be happy without being FREE.” Those words come from John Dickinson, who saw LIBERTY as the foundation of everything else. Once almost as famous as Benjamin Franklin, Dickinson is almost totally forgotten today. Known as the “Penman of the Revolution,” he was a fierce defender of natural rights, the father of the Articles of Confederation, a leading opponent of the Stamp Act, a supporter of the Constitution, and much more. To honor his birthday, we’re diving into the life and legacy of one of America’s most underrated and ignored founding fathers.

“A nullification of the act is the rightful remedy.” That’s how Thomas Jefferson put it in his draft Resolutions against the Alien and Sedition Acts. On November 10, 1798, the Kentucky legislature passed resolutions based on his principles. They not only reaffirmed the Constitution’s structure a strict line between delegated and reserved powers, but also laid out how to defend it against violations of the constitution by the federal government.

The post President OATH to the CONSTITUTION: 5 Steps to Protect and Defend NOW first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.

View Details

This principle – central to the American Revolution – has been almost totally forgotten and ignored. On this episode, we’re uncovering powerful warnings from leading Founders and Old Revolutionaries about the dangers of compliance with usurpations of power. And a century later, the radical Lysander Spooner took up the same cause, fiercely defending these principles of resistance to defend liberty. These are lessons we can’t afford to ignore any longer.

“If their duty, their honor, and their oaths will not bind them, let us not put into their hands our liberty, and all our other great interests.” Those are the words of Gouverneur Morris, the “penman of the Constitution.” Today, despite that warning – politicians ignore that oath every day – and the people keep letting them get away with it. The price is our liberty.

Refuse to comply. That’s exactly what the people did to bring down the Stamp Act once it went into effect on November 1, 1765. We’ve all heard about the fiery protests and the bold resistance, but there was so much more to the story. On this episode, learn their hidden strategies of defiance – the methods they used that government-run schools never talk about. These are the same strategies the founders told us to use to nullify unconstitutional acts today.

Repealing the 17th Amendment is the right move to help restore federalism – but is it enough? The Anti-Federalists warned us about dangers in the Senate’s structure long before the 17th came along, and without understanding those warnings, we could still end up with the same problems: corruption, power grabs, and more centralized control.

On his very last day in office, James Madison shocked Congress by vetoing an infrastructure bill – even though he supported the idea behind it. Madison refused to sign off on the measure, saying it didn’t follow the strict limits of the Constitution, even if it aligned with his own political goals. This might be the most important – and most ignored – veto in history.

This government “will swallow the liberties of the people, without giving them previous notice.” That’s the stark warning Patrick Henry gave us in 1788. In a series of fiery speeches, he laid out some of the most powerful anti-Federalist arguments against the Constitution—predicting all kinds of abuses of power and the eventual destruction of liberty. In this episode, we’re breaking down six categories of his most urgent warnings, each filled with powerful quotes we can’t afford to ignore any longer.

Everyone’s heard of the Federalist Papers – Hamilton, Madison, Jay – but the most important Federalist speech in the entire ratification debate didn’t come from any of them. It came from James Wilson – a name most people have never even heard of. His 1787 State House Yard Speech laid the foundation for the entire Federalist playbook.

“A nullification of the act is THE rightful remedy.” That’s how Thomas Jefferson said we should respond to any federal act that goes beyond the limits of the Constitution. But here’s the thing – Jefferson wasn’t inventing something new in 1798. He was reminding us of principles that were at the heart of the American Revolution – ideas the people used to resist tyranny. And today, those principles are more important than ever.

Nearly five years before the Declaration of Independence, Samuel Adams wrote an essay urging the people to resist tyranny – not tamely submit and hope for the best. For Adams, it was a moral imperative to stand up for what’s right, even against the most powerful government in history. Unfortunately, his bold call for liberty has been almost entirely forgotten. Today, in commemoration of his birthday, we’re uncovering what Adams warned us about – his message is more urgent than ever.

View Details

“Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.” Just after the Declaration of Independence was adopted in 1776, a committee of Jefferson, Adams, and Franklin worked to design a great seal for the United States – and it included that powerful phrase on the reverse. While we don’t know who originally wrote it, we can trace its roots to Jonathan Mayhew’s widely read but mostly forgotten 1750 sermon on resisting tyranny. In it, he laid the moral and philosophical foundation for the Revolution – and in this episode, you’re going to learn all about it.

Before the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution, Benjamin Franklin had a bold idea to unite the colonies – an idea most people have never heard of. In 1754, just before the Albany Congress, he published his famous “Join or Die” cartoon, symbolizing his forgotten call for colonial unity. Although it was rejected, Franklin believed this plan could have changed the course of American history.

Two years before the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson penned a long and detailed list of grievances regarding British acts going back more than a century. He not only referred to them as a “nullity” but pointed out that “we declare them void.” Jefferson’s pamphlet, “A Summary View of the Rights of British America,” is an incredibly important part of the foundation of the American Revolution – something the government-run schools barely even mention today.

Signed on Sept 3, 1783 – the Treaty of Paris was intended to end the war for independence. But the war didn’t officially end on that date with the signatures of Franklin, John Adams and John Jay. The treaty, made with 13 free, sovereign, and independent states, still needed their approval, and it almost didn’t happen. This forgotten history reveals the true nature of the revolutionary American system.

The post 17th Amendment Myth Busted: There was no Recall Power first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.

View Details

When government-run schools teach that the American Revolution was mostly about “taxation without representation,” the underlying message is clear: today, you have representatives, so if you don’t like what they do, just get new ones. But this ignores a deeper cause – a centuries-old system called mercantilism. Murray Rothbard described it as “a system of statism using economic fallacy to build up imperial power through monopolies and special privileges.” This was a significant part of the real foundation of colonial grievances, long before the Stamp Act and tea taxes ever sparked broader resistance and calls for independence.

Think the American Revolution was just about taxes and tea parties? Think again. The real battle was over a much deeper issue: the colonists’ unwavering belief in their right to local, self-government vs a British claim of unlimited power. James Madison called this clash the “fundamental principle on which our independence itself was declared.” But he was far from alone. In this episode, we’ll dive into the insights of Madison, plus more from people like Jefferson, Hancock, Paine, and others to uncover the forgotten truth behind the Revolution.

When the framers designed the Senate, they envisioned it as a safeguard for the states, with a key component being state legislatures choosing two senators instead of the people at large. But in 1913, the 17th Amendment removed this critical part of the system. In this episode, get a deep dive into this long-forgotten aspect of the original Constitution – how it came to be, the four reasons they set it up this way, and the warnings we were given against changing it to what we have today.

Responding to anti-federalist warnings that presidents would eventually degenerate into a type of monarchy, Federalists like Tench Coxe, John Dickinson, James Iredell, and many others went into great detail explaining how the power of the executive branch would be extremely limited in comparison to the British Monarchy they fought a long, bloody war to free themselves from.

View Details

America is drowning in debt – and teetering on the brink. We’ve just hit a new, unthinkable milestone: a national debt of $35 trillion. This isn’t just a number; it’s a ticking time bomb. The Founding Fathers warned us about this “public curse,” a financial abyss that would swallow our freedoms if left unchecked. In this episode we’ll revisit their chilling warnings and explore how we’re ignoring their wisdom at our own peril.

Imagine a United States where a national government holds almost absolute power over the states, with the authority to veto any state law and even send in troops to enforce its will. This was the audacious vision of James Madison, the man we know as the “Father of the Constitution.” But the Constitution we have today is far different from the Virginia Plan he originally drew up.

Most people seem to believe that the constitutional convention of 1787 was called for by Congress under the Articles of Confederation. Even the Library of Congress makes this claim. But it’s totally false. It was actually the Commonwealth of Virginia that initiated the call for the Philadelphia convention – and she was followed by a number of other states before congress ever shared their opinion in early 1787. Learn the truth – receipts included.

One of the most important foundational documents in American history, the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 is one that most people never learn about. Following principles outlined by Thomas Jefferson in 1784, it included a precursor to the bill of rights four years before one was added to the Constitution, it banned slavery in the territories decades before the same language was copied into the 13th Amendment, and led to the creation of the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin.

A lot of people in today’s liberty movement are totally wasting their time. They’re like a hamster on a wheel: running in place, getting nowhere. The problem is – they focus too much time, money and energy on elections as their primary – or only strategy for liberty. The Founders wouldn’t recognize this while living under the largest government in history.

No deal. That’s pretty much how North Carolina patriots responded to British Major General Henry Clinton’s proclamation condemning what he called their “wicked rebellion” along with his offer of amnesty for everyone, but two, in exchange for giving up their arms, and more.

Tracing its roots back to John Locke, the Mayflower Compact – and even earlier – the “consent of the governed” was one of the most important principles in the Declaration of Independence, and was the foundation for the formation of the Constitution as well. But, as Lysander Spooner argued – the notion that “all the people” consent exists only in theory.

In her widely-read and influential anti-federalist essay, Mercy Otis Warren warned that the Constitution would abandon the principles of the American Revolution and facilitate consolidation of the states under a powerful national government. In other words, it would lead to unlimited centralized power – similar to the system the colonists had fought to leave.

Sept 18, 1850 – Pres. Millard Fillmore signed the 2nd Federal Fugitive Slave Act into law. An attempt to implement the Fugitive Slave Clause of the Constitution, the act, at best, had serious constitutional issues. In response, as had been done under the previous act, states passed Personal Liberty Laws which nullified the federal act in practice and effect.

In a huge change from the Articles of Confederation, the Constitution eliminated “requisitions,” what many saw as a primary reason for the new system of taxation. Rejecting Alexander Hamilton and other Federalists in this debate were Patrick Henry and the anti-federalists.

Government power is like a cancer. So if the people don’t “nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud,” they shouldn’t be surprised when it’s used as a foundation for more and more and more. The people certainly failed to get the job done, and in these three areas, it couldn’t be more obvious.

The unconstitutional central bank uses fiat to power the largest government in history. The federal government will never shut down its own money printer. So it’s up to the states and the people to get the job done. An important first step is the “Legal Tender Act” – now law in 3 states, and counting.

Even though most people seem to believe it – and the government definitely acts as if it were true, federal law is not “always supreme” – all the time. Arguing in support of that requires ignoring the words of the supremacy clause – and the history of the American Revolution, which was a rejection of this kind of unlimited, centralized power.

A leader with the Sons of Liberty – and the first Surgeon General – urged the people to respond to the bloodshed of 1770 with “manly rage; against the foul oppression, of quartering troops, in populous cities, in times of peace.” He focused heavily on the principle of delegated and reserved powers. But this story of a one-time hero ends with a massive twist most are never taught today.

The founders considered consolidation one of the greatest threats to liberty. Both federalist and anti-federalist alike agreed on this political maxim, at least publicly. Their debate was mostly over whether the proposed constitution was creating such a centralized government – including warnings that a tendency towards it would lead to that result in the long run.

In a series of speeches during the Virginia Ratifying Convention, Patrick Henry warned that despite arguments to the contrary, the federal government wouldn’t act like its powers were only those delegated to it. Instead, it would act like all others before it – all powers are granted except those expressly reserved.

James Madison told us that a “refusal to cooperate with officers of the Union” would create “very serious impediments” for federal enforcement – in just a single state. If a number of states did the same, he said it “would present obstructions which the federal government would hardly be willing to encounter.” What a surprise, the Father of the Constitution was right.

At just 27 years of age in 1763, Patrick Henry gained fame as a patriot for arguing that when even a king interfered with local lawmaking, he “degenerates into a Tyrant, and forfeits all right to his subjects’ obedience.” This set the stage for future opposition to the Stamp Act and serves as an early lesson in the power of resistance and nullification.

The federal government and the states are partners in almost every major domestic policy area. And, as leading founders like Madison, Sherman - and even Hamilton - told us, partnerships don’t work when half the team quits. But it’s not just theory. We’re seeing this play out before our very eyes.

St. George Tucker’s View of the Constitution of the United States was the first extended, systematic commentary on the Constitution after it had been ratified by the people of the several states and amended by the Bill of Rights. It made the case for strictly limited federal power, which is a big reason why it fell out of favor in the mid-19th century.

A totalitarian state needs to keep a close eye on people to ensure compliance and control. With USPS and even the National Park Service joining the surveillance-state fray, if we’re not already there, it’s pretty close – and getting worse.

The post Is Every Federal Agency a Spy Agency? first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.

One side claims the other is trying to “defund” or “abolish” police, while the other is actively trying to double federal funding – which, of course, comes with federal strings and federal priorities. But they’re all full of it – the feds shouldn’t be involved in local policing in the first place.

We were warned. Don’t trust anyone with power to endanger liberty. Yet some people who are on board with that, have their own exception – police. But how they use no-knock warrants – and what they claim they use them for – is just more proof that they shouldn’t be trusted either.

Is Court Packing Constitutional? Based on how they want to use it – no, and it’s not even close. Expanding the size of the court for logistical reasons is authorized by the Constitution and has been done in the past, but doing so in order to drive political outcomes is neither necessary nor proper, and should be soundly rejected.

In his 4th essay, Antifederalist Brutus made the case that the federal House of Representatives could never be truly representative – because there are far too few members. He predicted this would lead to corruption and bribery. And rather than resulting in a free government, it would lead to one of consolidation, force, and coercion.

Born July 16, 1731, Samuel Huntington was a signer of both the Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation. He was also President of the 2nd Continental Congress when the Articles went into effect in March 1781. Since this was the first constitution for the United States, did this make Huntington the real First President? Some historians think so, but there’s a strong case against it too.

When the feds usurp power never delegated to them in the Constitution, the founders told us to resist and nullify. Yet, most of the “conservative” movement rejected their advice and refused to nullify Obamacare. They instead focused on convincing federal judges and federal politicians to limit federal power. This has been a complete and utter disaster for the Constitution and liberty.

The post Ignoring the Founders Ensures the ACA is Here to Stay first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.

The government has embarked on a diabolical campaign to create a nation of suspects predicated on a massive national DNA database. And police are increasingly accessing databases from private companies – with or without a warrant or probable cause. This is a slippery slope toward a dystopian world in which there is nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. But two states have taken the first step to push back. Will they set a new standard, or is it too little, too late?

Using the 10th Amendment to defend the 2nd Amendment – four states with new laws on the books for 2021. And 3 others that are getting close to joining them. These are great steps forward, but just the beginning. As Samuel Adams put it, “Instead of sitting down satisfied with the efforts we have already made, which is the wish of our enemies, the necessity of the times, more than ever, calls for our utmost circumspection, deliberation, fortitude and perseverance.”

Alexander Hamilton went from arguing that the federal government would only have “expressly delegated” powers during the ratification debates, to saying there was a vast reservoir of “implied powers” when he needed them to get a national bank.

The post Alexander Hamilton’s Worst Flip Flop first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.

View Details

A small, but vocal faction would have you believe that the Constitution itself is the cause of the monster state today. Another wants you to believe that the solution is to just get the words right in the document. But this defies the expectations and views of many leading founders, who considered even their own work a mere “parchment barrier.”

June 7, 1776: Following instructions from Virginia’s Fifth Revolutionary Convention, Richard Henry Lee introduced a resolution in the Second Continental Congress to declare independence, along with a call to form foreign alliances, and a “plan for confederation.” As Mercy Otis Warren described it, “Their transactions might have been legally styled treasonable, but loyalty had lost its influence, and power its terrors.”
