    I must admit, that took some stones to do that for so long! Of course back then everyone did it (if you had the money), but they didn't know any better. I do understand the desire to write "off-line". Rather than a quill, use a fountain pen (if you want that outcome).
    Fascinating stuff! Congratulations on your not inconsiderable achievements!

    The Constitution is treated like a contract and the person who did not forge the contract has discrepancies ruled in their favor so the citizen is to always has discrepancies ruled in their favor...

      Reading this thread right after he talked about how some people treat it as a sacred document and some treat it as a flawed document ☝️

    I can't even imagine what Arizona was like in the traditional clothing of that period.

    Congratulations on living a full year like it was 1799, and the book. No shade, I don't know who you are/he is.

    By the way all gun laws are against the second amendment and our null and void... You have the right to own all of the top military equipment...

    I... didn't like this video. I'm sure Jacobs is a great guy, but he doesn't have nowhere near the presenting skill of Erin McCarthy or Justin Dodd. I'm also sure this was meant as a "feels good/healing" video after a divisive election but... it just fell flat. These facts are not that amazing, and I find myself hard pressed to care about them when bigger issues such as "should be president be above the law?" loom far larger.

      And few people care enough to watch the video, compared to all other videos from this channel.

    Most amazing fact from the Constitution is that it is the supreme law of the land in any law that is in direct conflict with the Constitution is to be treated as null and void and the second amendment when it says arms This is short for armaments which meant the top military equipment of the day including cannons today this includes nuclear weapons and a militia will allow anyone any citizen to join and has no limitations on who can join... Therefore the national guard is not militia because it is controlled by the military and we need to have individual State militias with at least one nuclear weapon per militia.

    Claims to have to put the socks himself but then shows a video of someone doing it for him. Ok. I think I'm done with this video....
