When your teacher makes you watch this for class......

[@shaquana_306]

Lucky you. I’m watching this on my own because my professor who spent years practicing law thinks that he can just rush through topics in an introductory course as if we have the same experience as him.🙂

[@hunterbidenslaptop9298]

If you're in college, you should know this. lol You should have had an entire Government class in high school. This is basic. Wow, schools really are failing kids...@@shaquana_306

[@wnewman3778]

ikr my teacher did the same lol

[@kozmosnotgay]

watching the person keep up the notes to the discussion is giving me anxiety.

[@joelhatescops]

So now days, with both parties conforming against the people, we the people are squeezed by both parties. I get it now.

[@falsesectslikeshiaarejudeo6543]

history was partly ok i guess, some good questions too. i notice they skipped lobbying corruption though,

[@pengfeidong5268]

Lmao when they said "Dean of Yale Law School" I choked on my water

[@KitaKatt1988]

This is not 6th grade! If you need a time out chair let us know!

[@Forag9540]

I’m trying to remember this but I’m getting confused :[

[@microcosm1957]

Lol AOC (articles) Congress makes me think of Rep. Cortez 😜

Definite misinterpretations of co-equal branches of government. For a better well-rounded understanding of the Constitution, you want to check out Hillsdale College. Also, a more direct understanding of the Constitution will be found by studying The Federalist Papers. They offer a very clear mindset of the framers who actually wrote the Constitution

[@ruthretzke8785]

Hillsdale College is the best college out there, for sure. After taking their courses on the United States Constitution, I now have a firmer grasp on what is really written. Thank you, Hillsdale College for such wonderful course you offer.

[@seels9]

This can't be serious. Hillsdale college is about as close as you get to outright propaganda. If you want an extremely partisan look at the Constitution, sure, use the extremely partisan source.

[@cyberknight18069]

​@@seels9 everyone has an opinion- unfortunately it seems these days that opinions carry a divisive intent. Feel free to expound on your partisan theory of Hillsdale's content and curriculum. Just labeling as partisan is not an argument. All that aside- my original comment about reading the federalist (and anti federalist) papers will give you a well balanced understanding of the constitution. Hillsdale represents well in my opinion. If you don't agree, I respect that- instead of just labeling your perspective as partisan. Civil discourse is a thing of the past. I typically find that is due people fearing their belief system being challenged. Suffice it to say that, in the past, you could agree to disagree. Now tribalism is the ethos- and defending your position with reason and thought have become irrelevant. Hillsdale's online course gives great detailed, thought provoking information deep into the creation of every aspect of the Constitution. Try actually reading/ listening to their content...

I think it is time for a "Third House" of Congress. The "House Of The People". This House could be stratified into, maybe, three levels based on Citizen Education Qualifications. The top tier, the most educated , in keeping with a "Citizen Educational Criteria", might be allowed three votes per Individual. This top tier would number as many "Qualified Citizens" as could be produced through the "Governance Citizen Education Program". The Ideal being the total populace becoming the Top Tier of the House Of The People. The bottom two tiers being the status "ladder" while education is underway for New and Young Citizens of Our Culture. The Heart and Soul of this Citizen Education should be Theoretical and Applied Morality..."Golden Rule" perspectives. This would be followed by "Citizen Responsibility" training and Philosophy. When We do this, along with other Meaningful Changes to Our Governance Culture, We will finally and Truthfully have more of a "Good" Government Of The People, For The People and BY The People.

[@craftthemoon]

That sounds like a technocratic nightmare waiting to happen...

[@hunterbidenslaptop9298]

That is the worst idea I've ever heard. lol The House of Representatives is the house of the people. We vote for them and they vote in Congress for us. The Senate was originally intended to be the representatives of the state (appointed by the state legislature), but that was changed later on so that they are also voted by the people. (that should return to how it was)

[@DazzledBanana]

Ha! A house of the people for the people… but ‘morally educated’ by a government body?? Do you not see the absurdity of what you’re saying?

[@zelongxiong5078]

Wrong place, this is for Law Nerd. Please go away.

Why you name your channel khan academy

Cherry pick words .. just state the facts….

[@liammay7756]

Don't listen to this garbage. "Khan (surname) ... Khan is a common surname particularly among MUSLIMS of Central and South Asian origin. It is one of the most common surnames in the world, shared by over 12 million people in Asia and 24 million worldwide." I don't think we want that group of people translating the American constitution..

[@micahrios8965]

Yeah ok. Whats wrong with Muslims? Ur pretty messed up bro

[@micahrios8965]

@taestea We should report his comment

[@cyberknight18069]

@@micahrios8965 I certainly don't agree with the premise behind Liam's comment above either. Though I do agree, I think this video on the constitution misrepresents the concept of co-equal branches of american government. But it absolutely has nothing to do with the name of the academy. Rather, the content doesn't represent elements that do reflect a better understanding of the constitution. I have found both the federalist and antifederalist papers are exceptional for this. I further disagree with you that we should report people for speech we don't like. As you study history regarding tyrannical regimes- you will find that censorship and abridgement of free speech were cornerstones of gaining and maintaining their power. And worse yet, by getting other citizens to help flush them out by reporting them... If you don't like/ disagree with, what someone says, then use thoughtful civil discourse to call them out. Even if their commentary is egregious. A free and liberated society requires each citizen to engage others- respectfully. Get Liam to back up his argument, then counter it with thoughtful debate. I doubt he can do that. Too many people seem to think that we have the right to not be offended. That is ABOLUTELY NOT correct. People have the right to say stupid things- and you have the right (and obligation, in my opinion) to call them out on it (which I noticed you did on your first reply). There are some exceptions to free speech- but they are very specific and limited. And, this conversation is not even in the same ball park. Just felt compelled to share my thoughts as a respectful reply to your call for censorship : )

[@birdiewolf3497]

⁠@@cyberknight18069 This is a platform owned by a corporation that has stipulation on the type of speech is allowed on their platform. Just like you can’t go to work and use any type of speech you want nor can anyone enter your home and say whatever they want to say without consequence, the same these private corporations can dictate what can or cannot be said on their platforms. Their comments can be reported and if it is determined to be in violation of the terms of service, they can be removed. Stop mistaking these privately owned platforms as a public space. They are not government. They are a private entity, and they can kick us off their property whenever they want. We don’t own this, it is not a public good. We don’t even have a right to be here. KZbin/Google might have a significant impact over our lives, but they are not the government. Remember that.
