    Given the current climate of the country, teaching the constitution to children is more important than ever! They need to understand the powers of their pens and voices. I’m using all this turmoil as a great teachable moment in my homeschool. A more perfect union can only be created by intelligent, self-controlled citizens. Is that what your local school is turning out?

      No, they're turning out kids more concerned with their feelings of sexuality than anything else, as if their moment to moment changing perception of their own gender is the reference point of all existence, and that they should be in a state of constant gender conversion therapy as their feelings ever so subtly dictate.

    The story of the birth of the United States of America is, for me, one of the most absorbing and fascinating chapters of western civilization. So interesting to learn that many people at the time predicted the failure and/or collapse of this fledgeling democracy, and the many obstacle that stood in the way of the 13 states coming together as one nation.

    George Washington was called 'the American Cincinnatus .' In ancient Rome, Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus was a farmer and a statesman of the republic who was given the office of Dictator in order to win a war and avert a crisis. Having won the war and fixed the crisis, he resigned his office of Dictator and returned to his farm. That was such a act of virtue that it made an impression on Roman history. After the American Revolution, the veterans of the army had still not been paid by Congress and a conspiracy developed in an army camp in Newburgh, New York that had the goal of making Gen. George Washington the first King of America. Washington stopped the plot and later resigned his command of the army to go back to his farm in Mount Vernon. That made him the only man that could be trusted to be the first President of the United States. "First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his fellow countrymen." The city of Cincinnati was named after Cincinnatus by veterans of Washington's army.

    The great compromise:

    8:29 - smaller states may find foreign allies if their autonomy was threatened
    8:40 - larger states wanted rep based on population
    9:20 - the great compromise was proposed ( birth of the house of representatives & senate)
    3/5 compromise (determining population)
    10:30 - southern states wanted slaves to count (more power in house of rep)
    11:00 - reached another compromise (slaves would be counted as 3/5 of a person)
    virgina plan (checks & balances):
    12:40 - others were worried that the executive might lead to monarchy
    13:07 - Washington is what made them approve of the plan

    Mr Robert Morris informed the members assembled that by the instruction & in behalf, of the deputation of Pena. he proposed George Washington Esqr. late Commander in chief for president of the Convention. Mr. Jno. Rutlidge seconded the motion; expressing his confidence that the choice would be unanimous, and observing that the presence of Genl Washington forbade any observations on the occasion which might otherwise be proper. General (Washington) was accordingly unanimously elected by ballot, and conducted to the chair by Mr. R. Morris and Mr. Rutlidge; from which in a very emphatic manner he thanked the Convention for the honor they had conferred on him, reminded them of the novelty of the scene of business in which he was to act, lamented his want of (better qualifications), and claimed the indulgence of the House towards the involuntary errors which his inexperience might occasion. (The nomination came with particular grace from Penna, as Docr. Franklin alone could have been thought of as a competitor). The Docr. was himself to have made the nomination (of General Washington, but the state of the weather and of his health confined him to his house.) - James Madison's Notes, May 14th

    Pretty good video all the way up until the summary where they called the United States "Democratic".😪
    Why do we have to keep reminding them that it's a representative republic.

    Too bad it exists in name only today. Look at how they're disregarding it.
