How did the Founders treat an inaugural address? We can get a pretty good idea from their own words: Adherence to the Constitution, peace, principles - and more. An overview of the first addresses of 4 leading founders - who were also the first four presidents under the Constitution for the United States.

As Thomas Jefferson warned us, to take a “single step” beyond the limits of the constitution is to take a “boundless field of power.” He was far from alone. As students of history, leading Founders like John Dickinson and George Washington also recognized that any precedent for more power represented a dangerous expansion. But that’s far from how precedents are treated today.

Path to Liberty: January 18, 2021

Most things people call a “crisis” are really just symptoms of a much deeper problem, our real “constitutional crisis.” The path forward starts with the Constitution, and get some insight in this episode from Thomas Jefferson, John Jay, Samuel Adams, and George Washington.

Listen to most pundits today, and their view of what the “greatest threat” to liberty is has very little in common with the views of the Founders. On this episode, a few of those modern views - along with 12 from leading Founders to show this striking difference.

We were warned - over and over again. Relying on people with power to do the right thing only guarantees a loss of liberty. As a result, we now live under the largest government in the history of the world. It’s going to be up to us to protect and defend our rights - not politicians, judges or bureaucrats.

While partisans warn us about the upcoming danger to the Second Amendment, they ignore an important fact: The Second Amendment is not just “in danger.” It has already been gravely wounded and violated repeatedly by unconstitutional federal gun control “laws” dating back decades.

The most effective way to nullify federal programs is to use James Madison’s advice, “a refusal to cooperate with officers of the Union,” which the Supreme Court has repeatedly validated as the anti-commandeering doctrine. Answering the most common questions about its history, legality and use in practice.

Path to Liberty: January 6, 2021

While supporters of the monster state push for a “great reset” to centralize power and control, there’s an opportunity in the other direction, as Thomas Paine once put it - to “begin the world over again,” with liberty as the primary object. On this episode - 15 essential quotes from leading founders and old revolutionaries to help us move forward on the path to liberty.

All through history, governments have used fear of foreign danger to establish what James Madison called “the instruments of tyranny” at home. Living under the largest empire in the history of the world means things are more dangerous for liberty than ever. But steps can be taken right now to nullify them in practice and effect.

During the ratifying debates, Alexander Hamilton was every bit as Madisonian as James Madison. He sold the Constitution as a document that gave the federal government only a few limited powers. But once it was ratified, he did a complete 180, and his views - more than any other founder - are the foundation for the largest government in the history of the world today.
