I was a student of the famous French constitutionalist Mr Guy Carcassonne. And I want to compliment you for your job. God bless you.
The constitution is the thing that protects us our rights, a most sacred document in U.S. history.
No it doesn't
@@bunnyman6321
“No it doesn’t.”
That’s quite a convincing argument.
Nit wit.
@@alitlweird Your imbecile intelligence will keep you from understanding.
The purpose of government is to secure our rights and protect our liberty. Well said!! I like this historical view.
Hello beautiful 🌹
After listening to Mr. Church's 4 part series, I strongly suggest all Americans listen to Carl Miller's "Know Your Constitution" 3 part series also available on UA-cam. For those who want more after that, I'd recommend Michael Badnarik's "Constitution class" series.
These are, in my opinion, the three best sources for learning A LOT about the Constitution and Founding ideals as quickly as possible. Adds up to about 19 hours total of video but is well worth it.
fwiw.
God did not have anything to do with the constitution. If you believe this, you are an emotional idealogue and are not thinking clearly. Critical thinking can be your friend.
Rob Williams If you believe God had no influence on our Consatitution you're an ignoramus. The empirical record is irrefutable.
Prove it
Rob Williams The evidence (proof) is in actually reading the founders debates etc. surrounding the founding. If you were really interested in the Truth, you'd have already done your own homework. I cannot prove it to you because you will not believe anything I say. IF YOU REALLY CARE ABOUT THE TRUTH, you'll research it for yourself but I don't think you're really interested in the truth much like 99% of the ignornat, apathetic, cowardly amerikans of today.
Debates mean nothing. The Documents are the law. The word God is not in the constitution.
Don’t EVER remove these videos.
That is all.
Thank you for the videos. Priceless. Constitution Party 2020 🇺🇸
I hope people share this like we did when it was new 10 years ago. When social media wasn’t a scam.
By far my favorite you-tube series!
This is one of the best presentations I have watched. I found many others to be extremely boring and monotonous,to the point I had to stop watching. Thank you so much for bringing this critical study in such an interesting manner. I am looking very forward to the other parts.
YesYes has
Thank you pastor. This was excellent. Ready for the next one.
As Professor Robert Natelson points out, the Constitution is not a contract; it is a governing document more akin to and in fact modeled after a power of attorney. This is actually important because it helps in understanding enforcement and interpretation of the document.
I like his way of explaining things!
Can Richard Church upload more of his lectures? He is a great teacher.
@RonPaulLover123 Yep, 4 parts total. At first we didn't know the introduction was gonna get filmed, but we got it. So now the series is complete.
I had learned that our founding fathers were lawyers with money who sought personal land investments as one very big motive. Also, that the deal with Britain ended up that though we obtained to name our country and have the new government - that Britain still actually owned the land itself and it's resources. I can research the contact name for this. Of course, the declaration , the bill of rights and this were, like the Bible, the most beneficial and noblest writtings ever for humanity! Thank you. Our country needs prayer.
Oh, so this is actually 4 parts and this is the first one? I getcha
Thanks again
I disagree with "Men cede to that government certain powers to secure their rights"
No, we assign certain responsibilities to government, but we do not cede any rights.
Many complaints laid against King George III can indeed be laid on the DC government.
It may be that those that were considering Federation were concerned that they might merely substitute one King for another, and equally may be that that is an inevitable concomitant of Federation.
I 1000% agree
During this important time in our nation's problem we need to know and understand our C Rigths. Anna
37:15 -interesting fact🤔Yes, I remember that one; that’s a great one to share to exalt our Maker to some (or every degree).
❤️👍🏻
We are to praise Him in all things!
Thank you so much for posting!
This man teaches far more than he - according to some youtubers - preaches. Excellent! :-)
3 branches of gouvernment: legislative, executive, judicial. Its like doing the axioms in geometry: paralel lines, lines who intersect, lines in different planes which intersect if one thinks like trump.
@Downfurlife How wonderfully tolerant and magnanimous of you.
It’s interesting watching this for a British perspective
Excellent Video, Thank You.
Carlos Mirabal:
I consider I am privileged in many ways for which I cannot complain, as I am a millionaire, while not having money. My family and wife are the greatest capital of all.
While I believe in the existence of God, I follow and believe in no religion as I am puzzled because I find there are far too many injustices in the world and do not pretend to guess why. For that, far too many have different views and interpretations and I have not been privy to their millennial sources.
We could have been born in Africa or elsewhere. But again, I cannot complain other than being in a Colony. This too, will change, with the help of the empire who knows what is too wronged.
While far from perfect, I believe wholeheartedly and I identify myself with the origins of the United States of America and its history. For this, to me, The Constitution which is a practical document needs to be viewed in an overall context, not isolated as it is being done and even having gone as far as forgetting or not knowing of the existence of the 10th Amendment for which the President cannot order the Governors to do as he wishes, thus his immediate reversal on the reopening of the individual states.
That is, while in the essence of time, in a simplistic way, we need to go back and look at The Constitution from its conceptualization which started with The Declaration of Independence, to the articles of Confederation to its present state.
In essence, how and why was The Constitution created? It is there as it was planned, to protect the rights of the people from the abuses of the Monarchy. This was structured and created by the people who united and ceded certain specific rights to create the union, not to voluntarily enslave themselves.
I invite you to carefully listen to Richard Church’s course on the history ua-cam.com/video/n4kwXOrpU2A/v-deo.html of The US Constitution. You will love the first 15 minutes and I assure you, you will not stop till the end.
Great lecture!
Great, excellent lecture. Looking forward to the next one.
Excellent Video Thank you!
I personally think that there is no need for any legislative branch, what people want is 1) freedom, 2) enforcement of their rights (needs a freely elected sheriff), and 3) a way of settling disputes without violence (a court system with jury trials only).
If you have a Constitution that is well written and sets the basic guideline noting rights and obligations, and every man votes to ratify it every 20 years (each generation) 3/4 must approve it, then a social contract/covenant is in place and everyone cant claim ignorance of their rights and the rights of others. Having a legislative branch just enforces slavery as suddenly a man (legislator) can pass a law that can be enforced by violence on the people, and since everything is descending into chaos all the time, it becomes what we have today, laws about crazy things that should never have been passed as laws, laws that violate the rights noted in the Constitution (those acts are Treason-John Marshall). THERE IS NO REASON FOR A LEGISLATIVE BRANCH. People want a Sheriff and Court, but not a group of other people telling them what to do.
immafreemann For the same purpose, constitution was written. To ensure a minimalist government in order to secure the blessings of liberty foe ourselves and our posterity.
halo, do you study in the law?
@@vidyanandbapat8032 halo, do you study in the law, and where do you live?
Where can I get a copy of the power point?
This is a really good point because I know, atleast I know, that new words are created and old words redifined or disappear. I think that the English language allows this type of fluidity than any other language.
Where did these subtitles come from? They weren't on here 3-6 months ago. What language is this?
Great videos.
Look around, if you find you are not free as your "Creator" would have you and this is what is "self evident"... what does that tell you?
Those men pledged life, fortune, and sacred honor to ***each other***, they didn't pledge to you.
The Organic laws are in the Statutes at large in positive law not non positive law. There are four documents which must be read in the order of dates, read them in detail, your are a free inhabitant persuant to Article IV of the Articles of Confederation read it.
thank you!
Easy answer. "A Basic History of the United States" by Clarence Carson. Nothing like it. Haven't seen the above video yet, but I bet Carson's volume set is basically the print version of this.
We should be teaching about recall...somehow get organized to let politicians know that we know. But this can only give us an option. This will just get the politician to refine his ability to keep from getting caught. Every politician protect each other 90% of the time. no transparancy.
You are correct, Aryaba. We do not cede any rights. We do cede powers. For instance, we cede to government the power to execute justice, instead of retaining that power to ourselves.
Great video
He said he's a constitutional lawyer & has taught constitution classes.
"Role of the judiciary is to apply the law, not make law".
In recent years this has began to take place in the USA, so the legislature need to remind these judges of this point.
Is your PowerPoint available anywhere online?
halo, do you studying in the law, and where do you live?
Question:
Weren't the taxes added because George Washngton made fur trapping , land claims in northern new york region causing the french indian war financed by england?
Weren't the taxes meant to pay nack the crown for the cost of the french,indian war?
There are both practical and semantic difficulties in characterising the relation ship between that vague generalisation 'the people' (which is imaginary or no more than a vague non-specific generalisation and their government as contractual or analogous to a contract.
GOD BLESS AMERICA WE HOPE< WE PEOPLE WHO ARE DARKER THEN BLUE
I now know where taxes came from and why we pay them. Thank you
land was ceded to the Territorial jurisdiction until the state had a constitution and ratified the articles of Confederation at which point they lost legislative jurisdiction as well as the state to act in a multiple capacity in black letter law after all land was sold to pay off the revolutionary debt. The Fed has limited jurisdiction to what is called the Dillon Rule, which is the one subject rule when legislating within their own jurisdiction not outside of it. (more)
@Aryaba Because he is theist and he clearly committed to this in the first 17 seconds. I have never had any professor nor have I seen in any other lecture this type of introduction(commitment so early). Jack M Balkin(of Yale) comes to mind - he can be Googled. Hell, even Ron Paul - but i believe Jack to be more informed. It just seems like it is an intention of planting seeds too early. I am no where near 1/2 way finished. So, I can not comment. I assume there will be bias.
I think he meant "sitting Prime minister " when he was talking about Canada.
DO U ENJOY THIS LIKE I DO?
@Aryaba Oh, absolutely I am. As most intellectuals are. If you want to fault me for that you can reply. :)
Your original state constitution is in force, The STATE makes referance as a political sub division of the U.S. in what is called the Dillon Rule that legislates for its entities like franchises, corporat entities, individuals, residents and the like not free inhabitantss.
You are still not correct. Texas may have signed an agreement that the Constitution shall be followed, but that agreement is in addition to the Constitution, not making the Constitution a contract, but rather agreeing to abide by it as a governing contract. Additionally, that agreement has been ended, though I don't recall when or how.
can you show where separation of church and state appear in the constitution?
first ammendment
Your "Natural Rights" are useless without property, and I'm not talking about "The Pursuit if Happiness", or protecting the property you might have, I'm saying without property you can be happy knifing someone under a bridge over cat food. In the modern era that would mean the rent's from the land would be shared
👏👏👏🤝
What is says is "Laws of Nature and Natures God entitle" Natures God is not the same thing as God in the context most prefer to imagine it.
Where on the Constitution does it say interpret me
With all due respect, Church is in error by overlooking title 1 U.S.C., the Organic laws by not paying attention to the facts within those documents. For one the states all ratified the Articles of Confederation while establishing respective borders within their respective constitutions, while this Constitution for the United States (Articles of Confederation) was not adopted, what was taken on was the Northwest Territory until the states did the aforementioned, the U.S. lost jurisdiction (more)
@Downfurlife I've seen plenty of professors talk about atheistic beliefs, I don't see how it is any different talking about theistic beliefs.
Let me repost my comment: "it is a governing document more akin to and in fact modeled after a power of attorney." Note that I did not state that it is a power of attorney, but rather that it is modeled after one. If you are going to argue it is a contract, then it must meet the requirements of a contract, and it does not meet at least one: agreement. Thus, the Constitution cannot be a contract.
Gj, thanks alot.
We need one constitution,for the hole world's.!? Right!?
@Downfurlife I watched the first two hours and am into the second two hours. He doesn't seem to be particularly theistic. Not that I would think that is a bad thing if he were. I do find it interesting that you do.
so while you say its is not, there are plenty who say it is. The Constitutional contract primarily binds agents of the U.S. federal government and its constituent states. That, it does expressly. It binds other parties more weakly, via implied or hypothetical consent. But anyone over whom the U.S. claims jurisdiction thereby wins standing to enforce the Constitution as an intended beneficiary. Thus may citizens sue the government.
Why are so many entities charging the people for so many different taxes if we should be only paying one tax entity?
I think we should amend it to also include corporations as they create more jobs
idiot
@Aryaba Ya, I am not caught up to you. I gave my reason and gave 2 excellent examples - off the top of my head :) . I have never seen a scholar so quickly & openly disclose that type of information in this type of forum. The only reason I would assume, I assume incorrectly a lot, someone would do that is for an emotional attachment to/from the audience. I am not sure how his theism is relevant either? Theism is not a prerequisite to constitutional study as far as I am aware.
If that is what matters then realize that Congress, The Executive Office, The Supreme Court are abrogating their sworn duty and ignoring, "What Matters".
@Downfurlife Is that because he is religious? Or some other reason?
So Ben Franklin was the first “house whip”? 🤷🏻♂️
Ron Paul's Debate Day Money Bomb!! MAY 5, 2011!! Google+LibertyPAC
The U.S. did not adopt the Articles of Confederation they took on the Northwest Territory as a limited government until the states Ratified and came up with a state Constitution like Ohio did in 1803 at which point the no land that was owned by the United States of America and governed by the U.S. not ceded to it could no longer be legislated within the states constitutional borders.
The Crown isn't the Queen sir the Crown is the lawyers guild
I was taught that the queen can ask that anyone can be removed from any office. That she has sovereign power. Thank you.
I don't know enough about the Constitutional law to understand if there is a difference or if Constitutional Law allows unethical behavior. ie lying. Should we pass a law such that if they lie, then we have power to recall, fine or imprison?
@Downfurlife So him having worked with churches is automatically an issue with you. Got it.
The Genealogy of Human Freedom
1100 Charter of Liberties
1215 Magna Carta
1625 The Petition of Rights
1641 The Grand Remonstrance
1689 The English Bill of Rights
1776 Declaration of Independence
1778 Articles of Confederation
1787 The Northwest Ordinance
1787 Constitution of the United States
How can we combat this? I think,but not sure, that the english lang. is sooo pliable(create new words -redefine old words in order to create a new perspective and thus never "lie") that english will be the language of the world and and therefore easier to control/influence people by selling them on whatever. I feel like have no power.
MR Church states, there were free blacks but he changed his statement and said free slaves , history shows one came before the other
@muctopus
well the constitutions IS a religious document ! it speaks of God and man dosent it ?
i would point our it is a contract. why? because when Texas joined the union, it was a contract between the too ,that Texas would be part of the union, with the u.s. lived up to its part of that contact, and if not Texas would leave the union and be a republic again.
I'm a college student who's attended public schools all through high school, and I realize that the history I learned has a leftist bias. Can anyone recommend any authoritative books on history for a new libertarian/ conservative?

Apparetly the majority like him. Jer 5:31a The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so.
Well...we need to start getting people organized in each state to do this through social media. But those in office who break the law are somehow forgiven buy those that elected them for some reason. IE getting caught in a bribing scandal...people will say well I voted for him and his doing his best to help me and it's someone else's fault that cause him to break the law. So I don't see it happening. Not that many people are that principled. I will keep this idea in mind.
10:30+ : yes, the bible was the most quoted source. But lets not just assume that is because it is the most profound influence, rather, it was the most powerful. You may want to separate the idea of political writing and biblical writing, but at the time, and for hundreds of years prior, biblical writing was political. It was law. So don't lean your rhetoric into a direction that assumes biblical text is the key source of humanitarian influence. It is far more complex and you know it.
Well said.
One can't overlook time and place when it comes to history. The Bible was the most important text in most people's lives back then. Some of our great philosophers like John Locke took the Bible seriously and literally. It is interesting that a larger amount of atheists and Deists were among the Founding Fathers than there were among the general population.
In a statement above, Mr. Winton mentioned that "most of the founders were religious." That's not a very good argument, in my opinion. The people who crucified Jesus were extraordinarily religious.
Great Books of the Western Tradition agreed.
However the Bible and most other religions do offer a guide on how to treat each other. While the text is be interpreted by men and women of tainted hearts, the guide is still reasonably appropriate for living in peace.
Yeah, but from what I'm told is that as of like 1882 or so 'we the people' are not parties to the Constitution. The U.S. became incorporated or some such shit, & now legally we the people are not parties to the Constitution so we really aren't 'entitled' to any of it's protection!!!
why are there so many people not trained in law, or history who think they are experts on the constiution?
i must agree it is sad to me to only see 9k plus views on this. even more sad is our constitution even covered in public schools anymore? i know God is not.... thank your for this video, i really did enjoy it. i did lean a lot as well. -J (29 firefighter/us navy reservist corpsman/fmf)

@Downfurlife Additionally, he talks about his background which happens to include churches. I think you are just anti-theistic.
This fellow misunderstands the notion of an unwritten constitution. It is not strictly unwritten as it is based upon commentary and legal precedent - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncodified_constitution
lol you can argue if its a contract or not all you want. but to think that it's some kind of POA is completely stupid and asinine, the POW would die when the person did. And HELLO the Gov. is a servant their public servants meaning trustees POW would be some sort of executor genius.
Well that cant be it either, if it is or even modeled after one that's STILL wrong! POW is an executive position which the gov doesn't have. lol and for the last part that is so stupid lol, of course its a contract its signed by the founder, just not by you.
the declaration was not signed on july 4th..it was signed on august the 2nd..FACT
Can you find and tell me what artcle and section
"no person with deformity allowed to run for office."
It use to be in the constitution its not there any more!
Here's the kind of thing that makes people look really uninformed. That was never in the US Constitution and nothing has been removed. The ONLY thing that I am aware of is the original 13th amendment that was actually ratified but taken away from the Constitution by lawyers.....the scourge of the earth
