Topics covered:
- Under the Articles of Confederation, the Congress could not levy taxes directly, which was perceived as a great weakness to the federal government. Instead, it had a system of requisitions from the States, and this led to a most precarious financial and fiscal position for the United States, while also endangering the country with foreign invasion and internal civil strife.
- Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution provides that the Congress has the enumerated power to lay taxes, duties, and imposts. These taxes include external taxes on foreign trade and goods, and internal taxes on products, services, and property. These taxes are direct taxes on the People, goods, and businesses which are collected without the assistance of the States.
- The Anti-Federalists strongly opposed the Constitution because, among things, they believed that the Taxing Power would swallow up the States and destroy liberty.
- Highlights include Alexander Hamilton, Timothy Pickering, James Madison, Richard Henry Lee, Brutus (Judge John Yates), Luther Martin, Amos Singletary, Hugh Williamson, Elbridge Gerry, Oliver Ellsworth, James Iredell, James Wilson, and Benjamin Franklin.

Topics covered:
- The underlying foundation of the Constitution is the doctrine of enumerated powers.
- Enumerated powers means that the federal government only has the authority specifically granted to it in the Constitution - the powers must be expressed (that is enumerated). All powers not granted to the federal government, remain with the States.
- Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution details the powers given to the federal government.
- Nearly all the drafters and ratifiers of the Constitution agreed that Congress and federal government should be limited to enumerated powers.
- The Anti-Federalists strongly opposed the Constitution because they believed that the powers that were given to the federal government were too broad and that the federal government would swallow up the States and destroy liberty. In other words, the Anti-Federalists thought that despite the doctrine of enumerated powers, the federal government was all powerful and unchecked.

Review the origins and debate over the lawmaking provisions of Article I, Section 7 of the United States Constitution.Understand how bicameralism (the division of the federal legislature between the House of Representatives and the Senate) is essential for liberty and good governance for several reasons. It stops passion or corruption from running wild, which can much more easily happen in a single chamber legislative body. It also encourages a more careful and deliberate evaluation of proposed legislation, because each chamber is accountable for its work to the other chamber. It also ensures that each chamber can check the excesses and poor decision-making of the other chamber.Learn how to become law, the Constitution requires each chamber to pass precisely the same legislation. After the passage of a bill, within 10 days (excepting Sundays), the President can sign it or veto it. If the President signs the bill, it becomes law. If the President does not veto or sign the bill, it becomes law after the conclusion of the 10 day waiting period. However, if the congressional session runs out before the expiration of the 10 day period, and the President does not sign it, the bill dies with a pocket veto. Explore how the veto protects the power of the President, and it also allows the single person elected throughout the nation to address key policy issues from a national perspective.If the President vetoes the legislation, the President needs to explain to the Congress the reasons why it was vetoed. The bill is dead unless the Congress overrides the veto by a two-thirds vote in each chamber during the same legislative session.Proposals for an absolute veto and a three-quarters veto threshold were both rejected. The Constitutional Convention found that the two-thirds provision would allow the People’s representatives to act if necessary.The same process applies to legislative resolutions, orders, and other matters requiring Congress to vote, except adjournments of Congress — which are exempt from a veto.For lawmaking and resolutions, the vote of each member of Congress and the reasons for a Presidential veto must be recorded in the journal of the respective chamber, which furthers good governance and accountability.To learn more about the Constitution & Patriot Week, visit www.PatriotWeek.org.

Learn how by mid-December, 1776, the American Revolution was in desperate straits.
Explore that after a series of defeats, the American Army had retreated through New Jersey and was stationed in Pennsylvania — with the British Army across the Delaware River. The Continental Army was on the verge of utter collapse.
Overconfident, the British went into Winter Quarters.
Congress gave George Washington enormous authority, and Washington used the lull in fighting and his new power to reorganize and strengthen his troops.
Washington and his officers designed a daring attack on Hessian forces in Trenton, New Jersey. Before the battle, Washington inspired the troops through the reading of Thomas Paine’s American Crisis. Follow Washington's troops through the winter storm, the crossing of the nearly frozen Delaware River, an arduous march, and the pitched battle. The fate of the new nation depends on it.
Through divine intervention, Washington was able to mount a surprise attack on the hated Hessian troops in Trenton, winning an improbable victory, which became a critical turning point in the war.
Merry Christmas!

Learn that the idea of gratitude and giving thanks is an ancient concept for mankind and expressly elevated in the Bible.Review how days of thanksgiving were originally commemorated in the English colonies in Virginia and Massachusetts, with the English dissenters, the Pilgrims, having the most influential celebrations.In the colonial era, Thanksgiving celebrations were centered on particular events and circumstances, and, accordingly, happened at different times.As Americans united against British tyranny, they made continental wide proclamations through the Continental Congress, but again tied to specific events and times.President George Washington issued the first two Thanksgiving Proclamations under the Constitution, and John Adams and James Madison did the same. Thomas Jefferson refused, and after James Madison, Thanksgiving was proclaimed by the States, but not by the President, until Abraham Lincoln.Sarah Josepha Hale’s drive to create a uniform, nation wide celebration was embraced by Lincoln and his successors, and it became firmly fixed to the Fourth Thursday of November under President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.Feasts, running, football, parades, Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Giving Tuesday all flow from this powerful day of gratitude.Highlights include the Bible, Thessalonians 5:16-18, Colossians 2:7, Psalm 100:4, Colossians 4:2, Psalm 92, Philippians 4:6, King Henry VIII, Queen Elizabeth Anne Boleyn, Church of England, John Calvin, Puritans, Common Book of Prayers, King James I, Pilgrims, Mayflower, Plymouth England, Plymouth Harbor Massachusetts, Mayflower Compact, John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, Samoset, Squanto, Wampanoag, William Bedford, Thanksgiving commemoration, Melanie Kirkpatrick, Thanksgiving The Holiday at the Heart of the American Experience, William Bradford, Berkeley Plantation a/k/a Berkeley Hundred, The Margaret, John Woodlief, Jamestown, the Starving Time, Chief Opechancanough, Massacre of 1622, Massachusetts Bay Colony, New Amsterdam, First Continental Congress, Second Continental Congress, Day of Humiliation Fasting and Prayer (1776), Henry Laurens, Thanksgiving Day Proclamation (1777), Battle of Saratoga, Thomas McKean, Day of Thanksgiving and Prayer (December 18, 1781), George Washington, James Madison, Elias Boudinot, Aedanus Burke, Thomas Tudor Tucker, Federalist Party, Anti-Federalists, Constitution, William Samuel Johnson, Ralph Izard, Washington Thanksgiving Day Proclamation (October 3, 1789 for November 26, 1789), Whiskey Rebellion, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Letter, FDR Thanksgiving Speech (1938), President Lyndon Baines Johnson, Johnson Thanksgiving Speech (1963), President John F.

“All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.” United States Constitution, Article I, Section 7
- Review the origins and debate over Article I, Section 7 of the United States Constitution, which provides that any bill raising revenue must originate in the House of Representatives. These bills were often referred to as “money bills” and this clause today is often referred to as the “Origination Clause.” This provision addresses the authority of the federal government to tax, as well as to raise revenues and funds from other sources.
- Article I, Section 7 ensures that taxation and similar means of raising money must first be proposed by the House of Representatives — which is composed of the most immediate representatives of the People. The Origination Clause preserves the keystone of “no taxation without representation.”
- The Senate has the authority to amend or concur in amendments to such bills, just like any other bill. This ensures the wisdom and experience of the Senate can influence these important matters, without allowing them to cower or coerce the House, and prevents an aristocracy from taking hold.
- Highlights include the Constitutional Convention, House of Representatives, Senate, Governor Edmund Randolph, Flag Day, Virginia Plan a/k/a Randolph Plan a/k/a Randolph Resolutions, Articles of Confederation, William Paterson, New Jersey Plan a/k/a Paterson Resolutions a/k/a Paterson Plan, Elbridge Gerry, Declaration of Independence, Sugar Act, Stamp Act, taxation without representation, Pierce Butler, French and Indian War a/k/a the Seven Years War, First Continental Congress, British Constitution, James Madison, House of Commons, Rufus King, George Read, Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, Roger Sherman, Charles Pinckney, James Wilson, Oliver Ellsworth, Robert Yates, Benjamin Franklin, Gunning Bedford, Luther Martin, George Mason, William Davie, John Rutledge, Abraham Baldwin, Grand Compromise, Gouverneur Morris, Hugh Williamson, Bastille Day, House of Lords, Federalist Papers, Anti-Federalist Papers, Federalist Paper No. 58, Federalist Paper No. 66, Tench Coxe, Civis Rusticus (Simple Citizen), James Iredell, North Carolina Ratifying Convention, and more.
