The Arguments for and Against the Bill of Rights

Cuts: 1-9

Historical Outcome: Who Was Right?

 * Anti Federalist fears of federal overreach proved prophetic in light of 20th- and 21st-century issues—FISA surveillance, vaccine mandates, and restrictions on religious liberty.
   
   

 * Federalist fears of judicial overreach tied to ambiguous rights also came true—especially in how courts have redefined marriage, life, and gender using the Bill of Rights, often without legislative authority.

Body Positivity and Identity Politics vs Identity in Christ

https://www.tiktok.com/@roybelzerfitness/video/7259514459448757547?lang=en



Where is our identity? Notice how the Monistic Materialist puts the same moral value of intrinsic good into their body while the Dualistic Theist understands the intrinsic value of a human is in the spiritual or metaphysical side and not the flesh. Note how they always talk about their community, we talk about Christ our God and Savior. They abhor those who speak differently, to the point where stars who lose weight are treated like outcasts, while we attempt to win others to our cause.

Introduction



The Treaty of Paris 1783

Cut 1:
The Treaty of Paris 1783



Cut 2:

Pictured here are John Jay [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Jay], John Adams [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Adams], Benjamin Franklin [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Franklin], Henry Laurens [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Laurens], and William Temple Franklin [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Temple_Franklin].Although the British Contingent refused to pose so this is the unfinished portrait of the signing. This cuts in contrast to the unifying language of the document/



Cut 3

Here you have the map as drawn up by the new treaty. You can see the Brits retained Canada as well as a number of forts on the Great Lakes, more on that shortly.



Cut 4 Introductory Paragraph pt 1

Listen to this language. Are these men REALLY acting as secular politicians? Politicians, yes, but Secular ones? No.



Cut 5

This was a lofty goal, but as history informs us, the peace only lasted 3 decades.



Cut 6

The King Relinquishes ownership of the colonies



Cut 7

Boundaries



Cut 8

Fishing and trade vessels will be left alone by the Brits (This was broken in the lead up to 1812.)



Cut 9

Debts owed to Loyalists and Separatists will be repaid.



Cut 10

Restore confiscated land and allow the Brits 12 months to leave.



Cut 11

No more confiscations of land



Cut 12

No more confiscations



Cut 13

The Brits were to leave all forts and cities within the boundaries (They didn't and this was their foothold in 1812.)



Cut 14

Peace

Russo-Ukraine Treaty, Will We Learn From History?

It looks as though Russia and Ukraine have no interest in peace:

Signal-Gate

What Is An American?

https://youtu.be/RPTpOOKmXs8?t=78 - 7:58

Cut 24: But what is the ideal that built America?

Cut 25: But what is America at its essence?



Cut 26: So America is essentially high test scores?



Cut 27: By this logic, any country can be “America” I think you've missed the point

Some notes:

I like Vivek, but he misses the mark due to his worldview. Americans are blessed not by hard work, not be being a great community to move into, but we are Americans because we have descended or immigrated into a nation with Godly Ideals. I like Vivek, but this Pro-Immigration/Wealth/Education over Pro-Western Christian Ideals view of America will also dilute the American Exceptionalism that we value.

#0177 Federalist 51: Overreach of the Branches, Trump vs the Judicial, Tate vs Florida, Trade Wars, and more







Introduction





Federalist 51





Cut 1:

Paragraph 1



How shall we run a government with compartmentalized, equally powerful, and co-regulating branches which we see in the new proposed Constitution? These branches of government must be contrived so that they maintain each other in a sense of authority, duty, and honesty towards the people. Allow me to elaborate.





Paragraph 2:

To best protect the interests of the people and the institution of this government, each branch should be formed, elected, and run independently of the other two. These should hold checks and balances over each other, but with as much independence as possible in election of the office holders.



Cut 2 and 3:

Paragraph 3:

The members of each branch should also be free to act, even incentivized to act, with the authority of each's own office. If each branch is staged to seek its own interests, while maintaining alignment with the interests of the people, the different branches will hold each other accountable. Man is basically evil so we must set the selfish interests of politicians against each other for the sake of the people.





Paragraph 4:

The people and elections are the ultimate regulator on the vices of politicians, but organizing the branches so that their individual interests check each other is crucial. We need to even separate the legislature into two houses to protect the rights of the people and the rights of the states, while making the election of each as isolated from the other as possible.



Paragraph 5:



The power of the veto in the hands of the Executive Branch is a wise implementation of policy. However, as such a thing could be abused, the veto of the Executive Branch will only be allowed to be executed after a vote in the House of Congress has brought a vote to the Senate. This will allow some dissent in the voice of the Legislative from the Executive.



Cut 4:

Paragraph 6:

This government, with competing interests, will provide protection from mob rule and should guide the nation towards justice, and away from corruption.





Cut 5:

Paragraph 7:

For this to work, we will need to build a government that is incapable of turning against a minority by building this set of checks and balances, which will render the many factions powerless to act to the harm of the smaller ones. This is a reliance on the chaotic nature of man and his evil to prevent evil.



Cut 6:

Paragraph 8:

By designing the government in light of human nature and our propensity to divide ourselves, while maintaining the human rights of the minority, it will be very difficult for a majority to pervert the laws to oppress the minority.





Paragraph 9:

If Rhode Island broke off into a democracy, it is clear that it would fall into the tyranny of the majority. This new Constitution is designed to appeal to our common understanding of Godliness over our independent needs. This design should prevent the tyranny of the majority.





The Overreach of the Judicial Courts

Introduction







Washington's Farewell Address

Cut 1:

I want to let you know that I will not be running for re-election.

I'm grateful for the opportunity to serve, but I need to step down, and let me tell you why I've resolved to do so.

I have served two terms, and that is enough for anyone—I will retire now.

Cut 2:

Be wary of the forces that seek to weaken the national unity essential to defense—both internal and external, ideologically and materially. The only means for continued freedom is national unity and individual solidarity in the bonds of blood, creed, and nationality.

Cut 3:

Your nation has the right to your allegiance because it provides for your safety, and your duty to fellow citizens extends from civic charity to the defense of the nation. We all hold the same general beliefs, religion, and goals—national identity is key to maintaining the liberty so many have fought and died for.

The esoteric considerations aside, we must also address the conflicting interests of the States, which are outweighed by the interest of the whole. You must learn to consider the individual interests of the States within the context of the whole of the United States.

Your individual States will have their own autonomy, only within the value and benefit of the whole of the United States. The balance between States' rights and federal oversight has been laid out in our new Constitution, ratified by all. Each authority has its sphere of jurisdiction, subject to change only by the ratification of amendments.

Cut 4:

The purpose of the checks and balances between the States and the branches of the federal government is to ensure a level playing field for all factions present in political debate. The violation or manipulation of these checks and balances is inevitably harmful, no matter how noble or ignoble the pursuit.

Cut 5:

Be aware that popular factions can misuse the system of checks and balances to create tyrants, who will then seek to dismantle the very system they used to claim power.

Cut 6:

It's important to avoid altering the basic structure of the Constitution through violations or amendments, as this will dilute the purpose of the checks and balances and eventually break a perfectly serviceable constitution.

Commentary: What did we see with the threat of packing the Supreme Court, removing the Electoral College, or now with the attempts from the legislative and judicial branches to hinder reform of the executive branch?

Cut 7:

The more control you give political parties, the more autocratic they will become.

This stems from the darker impulses of human nature, existent in any nation, but partially mitigated within the design of the American Constitution.

It's natural for political parties to become entrenched within the body politic, their interests gaining greater bearing than the actual interests of the people.

Cut 8:

It is natural, then, for political parties to act in retaliation and revenge against each other between elections, formulating a bizarre despotism and oligarchy.

Cut 9:

You must be aware of this tendency of political parties and prevent it if you wish to avoid a permanent political ruling class levying autocratic policies upon the people.

Cut 10:

If you allow this sort of political party structure to arise, you'll live to witness ill-founded rivalries that fester into political riots, insurrection, and corruption.

Cut 11:

Now, on the issue of foreign influence—avoid becoming so entrenched in the quarrels of other nations that you lose sight of the needs of your own country. Otherwise, nationalists will eventually be

The Articles of Confederation – A Failed Democracy Of States

Cut 1#: Introduction:

The Articles of Confederation, ratified in 1781, served as the first governing document of the United States. However, it soon proved inadequate, leading to widespread calls for reform. The Founding Fathers—especially George Washington, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton—expressed serious concerns about its weaknesses. Many of these concerns were articulated in their letters, speeches, and debates, culminating in the drafting of the U.S. Constitution in 1787.





Key Weaknesses and Contemporary Critiques

1. Lack of Taxation Authority

One of the most significant weaknesses of the Articles was Congress's inability to levy taxes. The federal government had to rely on voluntary contributions from the states, leading to financial instability and an inability to pay off war debts.

Cut 2#: James Madison, “Vices of the Political System” (April 1787):
"It is no longer doubted that a unanimous and punctual obedience of 13 independent bodies, to the acts of the federal Government, ought not be calculated on. Even during the war, when external danger supplied in some degree the defect of legal & coercive sanctions, how imperfectly did the States fulfil their obligations to the Union? In time of peace, we see already what is to be expected."

Cut 3&4#: Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 30 (December 28, 1787):
"The present Confederation, feeble as it is intended to repose in the United States, an unlimited power of providing for the pecuniary wants of the Union. But proceeding upon an erroneous principle, it has been done in such a manner as entirely to have frustrated the intention. Congress, by the articles which compose that compact (as has already been stated), are authorized to ascertain and call for any sums of money necessary, in their judgment, to the service of the United States; and their requisitions, if conformable to the rule of apportionment, are in every constitutional sense obligatory upon the States. These have no right to question the propriety of the demand; no discretion beyond that of devising the ways and means of furnishing the sums demanded. But though this be strictly and truly the case; though the assumption of such a right would be an infringement of the articles of Union; though it may seldom or never have been avowedly claimed, yet in practice it has been constantly exercised, and would continue to be so, as long as the revenues of the Confederacy should remain dependent on the intermediate agency of its members."

Cut 5#: George Washington's letter to John Jay (August 15, 1786):
"Requisitions are actually little better than a jest and a bye word throughout the Land. If you tell the Legislatures they have violated the treaty of peace and invaded the prerogatives of the confederacy they will laugh in your face."

Comparison to the Constitution:

 * Articles of Confederation: Congress could not impose taxes and had to request funds from the states.

 * U.S. Constitution (Article I, Section 8): Congress gains the power to “lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts, and excises.”





2. No Executive or Judicial Branches

Under the Articles, there was no executive branch to enforce laws and no national judiciary to settle disputes, leading to inefficiency and legal conflicts among states.

Cut 6#: James Madison at the Constitutional Convention (June 19, 1787):
"The existing Confederacy does not sufficiently provide against this evil. The proposed amendment to it does not supply the omission. It leaves the will of the States

#0173 Federalist No. 10, Elon vs. Bryce Mitchell, and JD Vance’s Apologetic - Further. Every. Day

In a world of skepticism and doubt, the Christian may find themselves barraged with challenges to the faith. Join us as we discuss current events in a roundtable, but we each do so from a specific perspective or chair. The Chair of Theology focuses on Biblical principles applied to the topic at hand. The Chair of Philosophy, looks and the Teleological, Epistemological, Ontological, and otherwise Philosophical perspectives. The Chair of Politics brings the perspective that Christians have the unique qualifications and obligation to participate in our government and her laws. The Chair of Culture focuses on the Christian's response to the Culture and the Counter Culture Christianity should create. And the Economic Chair brings to the table the economic value to following God's Law, like every other sphere of life, if you read the instruction manual the Creator of the Universe wrote, you might find that you understand the World better. The Bible has the answers to our economic challenges as well as moral ones.

From these Chairs, we discuss the Christian Worldview and hope to provide an answer or apologetic for each situation we discuss. We would be honored if you joined us as we discuss how our culture falls Further Every Day.
