Path to Liberty

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.

The post This Isn’t a Political Contest. It’s the Tyranny Washington Predicted appeared first on Tenth Amendment Center.

Most people hear “invasion” and think of foreign armies crossing borders. But to the Founders and Old Revolutionaries the biggest danger was something very different – and far closer to home. In this episode, we uncover their warnings about a threat few talk about today.

The post INVASION: The Real Enemy Isn’t Foreign. It’s a War on YOU appeared first on Tenth Amendment Center.

Thomas Paine’s brutal demolition of a scam more dangerous than kings is one almost no one ever learns about. He showed how this scheme corrupts society, destroys trust, and unleashes evils that never end. On this episode of Path to Liberty, we dig into Paine’s forgotten warning about the oldest scam in America – and his verdict that still hits home today.

The post The Dollar isn’t Money. It’s Fraud. Thomas Paine’s Brutal Takedown appeared first on Tenth Amendment Center.

Constitution vs Articles of Confederation? Instead of a government that acted through the states, the constitution created something radically different – and almost no one today understands what that change really was. But the Framers told us, over and over.

The post We the People vs We the States: The Constitution’s Real Purpose appeared first on Tenth Amendment Center.

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.

The post The Constitutional Scam Nobody Told You About appeared first on Tenth Amendment Center.

Hamilton vs Madison and Jefferson. The first great economic debate under the Constitution was about tariffs, and it actually started under the Articles of Confederation. But the debate wasn’t about protectionism vs free trade. It was dueling forms of government intervention.

The post TARIFFS: First Debate was Power, Not Trade appeared first on Tenth Amendment Center.

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. appeared first on Tenth Amendment Center.

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 post When States Had Backbone: The Militia Showdown They Never Teach appeared first on Tenth Amendment Center.

Rights are not gifts from government. They don’t come from documents – like a constitution or a bill of rights. You have rights because you exist. Government – of course – isn’t too big of a fan of that view. On this episode – we’ve diving in on the foundation: Natural rights

The post You Don’t have Constitutional Rights. You Just Have Rights. appeared first on Tenth Amendment Center.

While most people ignore the Ninth Amendment, those who don’t usually get it completely wrong. It isn’t a grant of additional federal power; it’s a rule of construction designed to explain its limits. On this episode, we uncover the forgotten history behind the ignored 9th Amendment.
