Bill of Rights Part II: Don’t Tread, Don’t Tax, You’re Not the Boss of Me


Listen Later

Think the Founders shot their shot with the First Five? Please. The back half of the Bill of Rights is where it really gets spicy. Kyle and Eric Mason break down Amendments 6–10—and then hit you with a bonus round so wild it involves smugglers, speedy trials, and a college kid with a C paper who rewrote the Constitution out of pure spite.

We’re talking civil juries, cruel and unusual punishment (hi, bail system), and the Ninth Amendment’s legal version of “don’t tell me what I can’t do.” Oh—and the Tenth? That’s the one that lets your driver’s license work in every state and turned America into a capitalist monster truck. Buckle in. No, actually—don’t. The Founders wouldn’t have wanted that kind of government overreach.
