I've probably watched over 20 of your videos, you do such a great job of explaining in terms that younger generations could understand. I've told many other classmates about your videos and they find it super helpful! I find your 5-10min lectures to be more informative than my hour lecture in class! :) I also watched your ISIS video and it's nice to hear a balanced perspective on current events. Tons of articles are slanted and it can get confusing at times. Just wanted to say Thanks! :)
A few bits of paper written 200 plus years ago. The idea that it applies to anyone is preposterous. But the elite need the slaves to believe it is so. It is the PR perpetuated to allow a handful of people the "legal right" to used instutionalised violence aka government to control their livestock.
I've watched this back in 2017 when I recieved a task for my social studies/history project regarding the same topic. Decided to come by today and say Thank you for the help and that I did manage to do well among the entire class!
This is exactly what we're learning right now, and this video helped enhance my understanding of the topic very well! I loved how I could interact while watching!
This is fabulous I'm actually crying 😂❤ I learn so much here instead of in my AP class because its mainly book work at home and majority of it I dont understand. I'm glad I came across your channel. You don't even realize how much of an amazing person you are for thissss. Thank you
This is crazy! Ive been getting hundreds and 5's on all my essays just from your videos. They are super informative and help clear up any confusion from the reading. You are the bomb.
I just saw your video about leaving teaching but began looking around your videos and WOW! I happen to be teaching the constitution right now and have been trying to find supportive work for my kids to help them understand and here this is! Thank you for the time and work you put into all these! My kids are going to love them!
I should add that I enjoyed the video and feel that not only did you address the subject with a high degree of accuracy and completeness but the humor was well received. Thank you for the fast and appreciative reply to my post.
well I can assure you, I go beyond the state's artificial boxes. I stress the flexibility of the living constitution. at the end of the day I need my kids understand the concept of what the amendment procedure offers us as well as the rights which are set out in the first ten.
No, good question. The Continental Congress ran the government during the pre revolution 1774-1776 and the US under the articles 1776-1789. The convention is the meeting at the end of that era to write the new constitution.
I sit here as an early Gen-X-er watching and learning. Thank you, so very much Mr. Hughes, for providing tools to make us all smarter about American history.
I am teaching in China and am currently focusing on the constitution for my students. This series is a great help, your presentation is terrific. Many thanks for your work on this
I'm getting ready for my AP US History mid term essays, and one of the topics is the Constitution and Articles of Confederation. Thank you so much for the videos! My teacher did go over these, but the amount of detail you go into is perfect for an essay. I was wondering if you could do a video on the country's economy, politics, and reforms before the Civil War? Thanks, and keep it up!
This is awesome! Now I can re-learn what I chose to ignore in school.... Also, I wish my teachers had your enthusiasm, that would have been awesome! Keep it up!
I'm a AP/Dual US History teacher going out of town for a few days. This is PERFECT for me to leave them in the blackboard account to keep up while I'm gone. Thank you so much!!
I hope people start to celebrate the Native American undertones and roots with our Constitution. It’s natural native law from the Iroquois Great Law of Peace etc.
I've been out of school for over 8 years and now I'm back in college learning American government all over again, thanks very much for this video, so much better than reading.
This is a big help! I've been writing my We The People testimony, and my portion was about compromises at the Philadelphia Convention and this video made it much more fun! Thank you so much! I will definitely share this with the rest of my unit!
Just what to say "YOU ROCK BUDDY" I am 43 and have just become an online student, and I need to have U.S. History. But I suck at history, and the instuctors are not like you. You are actually teaching me. Thank you, Thank you, Thank You.
I don't believe so, technically you could have another convention of sorts through the amendment procedure. A national convention assembled at the request of the legislatures of at least two-thirds of the states may be convened for amendments.
LOL I found this one after seeing your Federalist Paper videos. Where's the beat track? The random drops in and out of frame? I can't have my students watch this for fear of them losing their faith in your magic (seriously, they dig your videos). Crazy how much your videos have changed in 6 years! Love the great work, keep em coming :-)
+Snipergirl I think I'm more glad you found them! I have the videos alphabetically off my website if that helps and make sure you share with your peeps. www.hiphughes.com
Nice analogy of the dad versus kids... If the dad was a deadbeat one who was abusive to his children and was constantly squandering all the family's money, leaving the so deeply in debt they'd never recover.
I read in my We The People book and from my AP Government teacher that it was 3/5s so that the large, economically prosperous southern states would remain part of the United States to protect against a harmful faction.
I argued in my US poltics 3rd year essay that if we didn't have the 3/5 th compromise we'd have no United States, my American lecturer wasn't too sure about my argument but i think i was spot on, an awful compromise to make but no compromise no USA
I think your videos, supplemented by reading an AP book and practicing some multiple choice, are good enough to get a 5 on an AP test. Helped me get a 5 on US History, even though I remembered nothing from the class.. Thanks so much!
you are correct. We do teach it in that order, the regents in NY treats the events under the banner of the convention. thank you for clarifying the distinction. we do teach the concept of it being added to settle the fears of the anti-federalists though. again, thanks! ~hiphughes
thanks. I had ti watch this for my social studies homework. As a 7th grader i think you provide a great video. Thanks so much. PS history is my best subject, i specialize in the late colonization period :)
Is there some provision In The US Constitution where you can have another constitutional convention if enough of the states demand it, but it would basically lay everything out on the table for rewriting if it happened?
Point of contention with video. The "Bill of Rights" has nothing to do with the convention. Convention ended Sept 1787, the Constitution is sent out to the various states without any agreement stated or suggested regarding a "BoR". The first of the Federalist Papers is published Oct 1787 along with the first of the Anti Federalist. Anything relating to " BoR" is a post hoc compromise suggested after the convention and used as encouragement toward ratification without guarantee as to specifics.
This is good, considering that understanding of all things Constitutional is greatly needed in today's America However, there is a particular matter that if taught, it, in turn, reveals understanding of other Constitutional issues that are widely misunderstood The Statesmen that attended the Constitutional convention were about to quit halfway through, due to halted progress from difficulties, of which, they were failing to overcome Then, Franklin, recognizing the moment beckoned for one of his position, as the well respected wise elder among his peers. The original document housed at the Library of Congress records his statements; "gentlemen, while we were sensible to danger (during the war) we prayed every day, here in this very room, and our prayers were answered (Deists?) Shall we now believe that we are no longer in need of assistance from the divine. I have lived many years and..." It's quite obvious what occurred after that, due to the fact that we have the US Constitution. They began to pray every day again and they completed the convention. Once again, as during the war, their prayers were answered This is important for Americans to know & understand because it enables further understanding of the fact that destruction to our Constitution has been occurring, due to misinterpretation of extra-Constitutional documents, which have lead to misinterpretation of the Constitution It has come to pass, often times, that whenever the community within a particular school district and their children wished to, perhaps, say a prayer prior to academics within the classroom, there have been one or two atheist families that protested to the government and the rulings from the courts have been to prohibit the prayers The ironic thing is that the rulings have been supposedly based upon a US Constitution that wouldn't exist if it were not for the prayers from its framers That's one reason why I wrote "supposedly based"...the other is because it's actually been based upon an excerpt from a document (private letter to Danbury Baptists) that was suddenly (after 200 yrs.) attributed with the superceding legal authority that was previously possessed by only the Declaration of Independence & US Constitution
Who adds the captions? There are some inappropriate word choices. I watched the video and you didn't say any of those words....just wanted to let you know. Thanks. I love your videos and so do my students. Thanks for sharing.
So was the general feeling that the states preferred the AOC but it wasn't up to meeting the needs of the Confederacy so they had to come up with something new?
Didn't the great Compromise also include that the state legislatures appoint the senators while the people directly elect their state's house representatives, a very important part that was later undone in the 17th amendment [one of the biggest mistakes added to the constitution next to the 16th]? And the 3/5 compromise also came about for another reason, the North had far more free people in the population than the South, granting them more say in everything from deciding the president [and by extension the nominees to the supreme court] all the way to what legislation gets passed in the house of representatives. The South wanted comparable say but the 3/5 compromise flipped the scales in the other direction, this compromise later on resulted in the Dread Scott decision, a ruling that went against birthright citizenship implied in article 2's prerequisites for running for the presidency.
It was understood that if they played dumb and slowed there pace then it would just become the standard. I was told slaves often would beat up a fellow slave if he tried to set the bar to high for everyone else. This would happen from time to time in order to look good to the master so he would give you a house job, but that was a less than .1% chance if you were a male
I wouldn't say the Articles of Confederation sucked. I look at them as something that should have stayed, considering the amassing centralized powers our federal government now has and the fewer rights we now have. They should have just been tweaked in away to make building and funding a military easier and perhaps something to deal with conflicts between states. The federalist (Federalist Papers), just like liberals today (mass media), were better at propaganda.
Just so you know, this man is STILL making videos. Talk about commitment!
anyone else just watching because of school
Cool

Indeed. The Bill of Rights was partially inspired by local indigenous cultures.

Ironic today, as New Jersey has half a million more people than Virginia :P
I don't believe so, technically you could have another convention of sorts through the amendment procedure. A national convention assembled at the request of the legislatures of at least two-thirds of the states may be convened for amendments.
I thought I would switch out from my us history class right before watching this vdo thank you so much
YOU SHOULDVE DROPPED OUT LOL YOUR NAME SOUNDS LIKE AN STD
You are more than welcome, let me know if you ever need some help in the course.

You are possible the simplest troll I have ever encountered. Perhaps some wit, some humor, some originality would serve your comments.

Okay thanks. I was planning on sharing them with a friend. Keith Hughes
Keith Hughes I thought this video was suppose to be about the people in the Constitutional Convention; the debates, etc.
Nice analogy of the dad versus kids...
If the dad was a deadbeat one who was abusive to his children and was constantly squandering all the family's money, leaving the so deeply in debt they'd never recover.
Loving how you posted this on New Years Eve😂😂😂
Shows you how wild my life is.
My teacher assigned these for us to watch XD
The dad went to get the milk and left the kids in confusion as to what just happened.
ha-ha! a lot of my classmates and teachers enjoyed this. wow! you are so much more entertaining than a text book! thanks so much!
I WAS CHOSEN FOR THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION! :D
I read in my We The People book and from my AP Government teacher that it was 3/5s so that the large, economically prosperous southern states would remain part of the United States to protect against a harmful faction.
Great video! I am a history teacher and sometimes need refreshed on certain topics.
I argued in my US poltics 3rd year essay that if we didn't have the 3/5 th compromise we'd have no United States, my American lecturer wasn't too sure about my argument but i think i was spot on, an awful compromise to make but no compromise no USA
Wow, im a 29 yr old college student, and this book PUTS ME TO SLEEP! So, thanks for making the subject interesting and more learnable.
13:39 that’s some great editing
I think your videos, supplemented by reading an AP book and practicing some multiple choice, are good enough to get a 5 on an AP test. Helped me get a 5 on US History, even though I remembered nothing from the class.. Thanks so much!
Thank you for preparing me for my test tomorrow. I honestly couldn't make sense of my notes. This was awesome.
Explained much better and more entertaining than my professor. Thank you so much! I finally understand now!! :)
you are correct. We do teach it in that order, the regents in NY treats the events under the banner of the convention. thank you for clarifying the distinction. we do teach the concept of it being added to settle the fears of the anti-federalists though. again, thanks! ~hiphughes
he makes learning history nice
Huge help! Thank you so much
You very much remind me of my 10th grade History teacher..
This was great! Very informal and yet enjoyable to watch. I am taking a government class right now in college and this helped tremendously!
You sir, have saved my U.S. History grade. huehue
My professor shows me this on his website. I loved it.! Very useful information. Thank you!
I LOVE your videos... You really break it down for people. Thank you so so much!

PS history is my best subject, i specialize in the late colonization period :)

My history teacher showed this in class. Although you have a good way of teaching, I was laughing my ass off at the terrible jokes.
this really helped for my American Politics & Gov't class. ty.
Excellent! I shared with my Con Law undergrad students
You are a life saver! Just wrote my paper thank you
