Path to Liberty

They do this by telling a false story of how Thomas Jefferson responded to the Barbary Pirates in 1801. Learn what really happened with a timeline of events.

The post The Big Lie: Jefferson and War with the Barbary States appeared first on Tenth Amendment Center.

There is “nothing more dangerous to the cause of truth and liberty than a party-spirit.” Yet, today, most people approach most issues through a party-first mentality. That has to stop for liberty to grow.

The post Stop Doing This: Party-First Approach appeared first on Tenth Amendment Center.

To a vast majority of the founding generation, standing armies were extremely dangerous, “the bane of liberty.” The best way to prevent them? Render them unnecessary.

The post Militia vs Standing Army: The Founders’ View appeared first on Tenth Amendment Center.

The federal reserve is not going to end itself. And Congress will never cut off its money printer. It’s going to take big steps by the states – and human action by the people themselves – to put the central bank where it belongs, in the dustbin of history.

The founders and old revolutionaries left us a ton of advice and strategy on how to keep government in check. It won’t be quick or easy, but as Thomas Paine put it in Common Sense, “We have it in our power to begin the world over again”

The post Tis the Season. For Nullification. appeared first on Tenth Amendment Center.

When Founders like Madison, Jefferson, Sherman, Iredell and others told us to use non-compliance and other forms of resistance to keep government in check – they were following the same blueprint that was used in the American Revolution.

The post Blueprint: Rhetoric, Resistance and the Revolution appeared first on Tenth Amendment Center.

A lot of people – even friends of liberty – want you to believe that the federal government has always been so powerful that acts of resistance by the people and the states will just be mercilessly crushed by central power. But this is pure propaganda.
