The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Thanks to the internet and social media, ideas are no longer filtered by elitists and their organizations. You no longer have to wait to be told what others think you need to know. Today, you can get all sorts of information, often right from the source. And boy, does that make the elitist filters mad. When a lie is called the truth, what do you trust?

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – When the Founding Fathers established this union, they did not expect the citizens to be passive participants but active in its operation. Rather than expecting others to protect their rights, they wanted people to defend their own rights. Our first Chief Justice of the United States, John Jay, told us how we could do that...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – We often talk about our need to learn the Constitution to help our state governments fulfill their duties to protect our rights, even from federal infringement. When the states remember that they are the creators of the federal government, not its vassal, then we can restore the power balance the Framers of the Constitution envisioned...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Americans are losing trust in the very foundations that hold the nation together—freedom, justice, and unity. As confidence in elections, media, and institutions fades, the branch of trust weakens beneath us. When it finally breaks, the fall will be ours, unless we remember what truly binds the United States as one...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – While the American people would appear to want to sit back and let someone spoon-feed them “the truth,” that is a guaranteed way to be fed falsehoods. If we are to know the truth, we must find it for ourselves. If you find the idea of searching for truth too much of an inconvenience, it tells me you are willing to sell your freedom for comfort, just as...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – In that Congress, the parties like to blame each other, either for the spending or the tax cuts. But our deficits have been a bipartisan problem for decades. And as many of the American people who complain about the spending and deficits, we seem to forget that it is We the People who not only place those members of Congress, but we...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – The Republic faces many problems, but the real question is whether we’re using the right tools to fix them. The Constitution offers powerful means for both states and citizens to restore balance, yet too often we strike at problems with the wrong approach. It’s time to choose our tools wisely and repair the Republic...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Many Americans follow leaders without truly examining their actions or integrity. With civic education in decline and myths about the Constitution spreading, the nation drifts further from its founding principles. Like the blind leading the blind, citizens and officials alike stumble together, forgetting the oaths and truths that once defined the land of the free...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Debate grows over whether America needs another Bill of Rights. Some claim the Constitution no longer protects our freedoms, while others argue enforcement—not expansion—is the answer. From a Washington State classroom to North Carolina’s Parents’ Bill of Rights, the question remains: do we strengthen our rights with new laws or uphold the ones we already have...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Sadly, it seems that public education is more about learning what to think rather than how to think. Based on many of the discussions I’ve had across the country, critical thinking seems to be a skill many Americans have lost. I believe G.K. Chesterton once described our situation perfectly: “When men choose not to believe in God, they do not thereafter...
