Lesson Seven | A Constitution that Encourages Reason to Rule the Passions

[@Unborn-Lives-Matter]

I have read the Constitution and Declaration many times but this more in depth study has proven to be fascinating and very enlightening. Thank you.

[@StrategicWealthLLC]

Too often, Civics is taught in terms of "what" and "how." It is so much more important to understand the "why."

[@ForGlory]

Better than "understanding" The Constitution is DEFENDING IT and LIVING IT. Just like old fashioned virtue and The Commandments. The beauty of things that are BOTH TRUE AND ETERNAL is that you don't need to "understand" them, you just have to support and live by them. A teacher can discourse based on THE EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE GAINED BY LIVING TRUE PRINCIPLES; in fact such a teacher is FAR better and better full of insight and "enlightenment" WHO NEVER STUDIED WHY Eternal Principles were true, but simply LIVED AND ABODE BY THEM since he was a child; far better than one who merely studies it. But think about it for a moment and you'll see: it is POINTLESS to defend or even live by The Constitution if you aren't ALSO living other true and Eternal principles, The Commandments included. Don't bother standing up for The Constitution if you're not ALSO AND SIMULTANEOUSLY fighting the war against sin while you proactively live The Commandments and guard virtue! That would be just like someone who arms his security system on his home but doesn't lock the doors or windows, then goes on a trip.

Wonderful series.

[@sgt.grinch3299]

Incredible concepts. Egyptian, Chinese, and any other culture that has existed never understood these principles. We my fight every day to maintain this fragile balance. With Divine protection we can pass on these God given rights.

I thought that's what democracy is? We talk it out then we come to an agreement and then we do it again ❤

[@chuckstarwar7890]

I read the plain English translation of the 800 year old Magna Carta in the British Library, I couldn't believe it and I could not control my tears: The Magna Carta gave British people more rights and freedom 800 years ago than many countries today. No wonder the Britain produced the creative innovations from Newton, Faraday, Shakespeare, Adam Smith. ....... The constitution of US, Canada, Australia, and many many countries have clear roots from the Magna Carta.

I didn't know that thank you for sharing

[@gabyturoldo9765]

Professor, I am a citizen by naturalization and I absolutely love the America constitution and your classes- I wish I could assist to one of them - thank you!

I am using these teaching videos for my teenager in homeschool. Thanks.

[@haleloi3018]

Great series. A MUST SEE for everyone concerned with freedom, esp students.

[@narcisofontecha9593]

The US constitution is said to be the longest existing constitution in the world. I pray it stays that way.

[@zenondolnyckyj4325]

"a way of arranging the government so we can control it." Imperative.

To any MI out there tracking me. Thank You for what you have done. And thank you to my guardian angels

[@lindasolheim7780]

Dr. Arrn, I would be very interested in hearing your thoughts about what is going on in the States, and the world, today.

[@lindasolheim7780]

I apologize for the misspelling of your name Dr. Arnn.

Love Hillsdale college. Shame are Universities and schools don't teach the same.

Thank you so much for this because it made things so much clearer.

I have only done 7 lessons so far. After this one, I have to wonder about executive orders. I hope they come up later. Thank you!

Motorcycles and dogs . . . if Aristotle was alive, I believe he would appreciate that statement.

[@CayoticProphet]

0:45 Technically yes, the 10 Commandments are contractual to a certain extent. Essentially they are a series of "If, Then, Else" statements. "Do this and you will live long days throughout the land the LORD your God (YHWH ELOHIM) has given you." Sounds like a contractual/covenant promise to me...

[@eikoGoldstein]

I agree. And it introduces the idea that the sovereign will provide some consideration if the commands are faithfully observed. While it doesn’t place sovereignty in the people, it does place a constraint, or obligation upon God. “You shall be my people”. The Decalogue is composed of commands. Together they constitute a covenant. The biblical covenant is a harbinger of later political contracts.

[@CayoticProphet]

@@eikoGoldstein The Bible (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth) does predict & prophesy about future dates & events, but there are readers, from the enemies camp, reading the bible in order to manifest, for example, "the mark of the beast" into reality. Among other things. Its not that The Simpsons predict the future, it's a combination of "Predictive Programming" (subliminal foreknowledge) and "self fulfilling prophecy." The Simpsons viewers that have the means to manifest a particular cartoon scene into reality. Such as the Trump Escalator or the 911 warning/harbinger episode. If people cease to exist after the "Great Reset", the Bible and The Simpsons would cease to predict anything if their respective readers and viewers mysteriously vanished. It requires the will of an attentive and perceptive audience to manifest the reality of these predictions, regardless of the source. (Bible/Simpsons) The church is about to be shook to its core when they come to the collective understanding that the creator is as real as the flesh that we bare. He isn't just "our father in heaven", He is whom atheists refer to as "Sky Daddy." The One they don't believe in, they themselves have created a name for. God Bless...

Great work You rock

[@ChauNguyen-tz2zm]

Magna Carta is/was a treaty between the king and nobles.

[@hatersgotohell627]

Whats to stop the constitution from just being amended though. Like that califnornia politian said he woukd amend the 2nd amendment to explain how its limited to no automatic or powerful guns like the ar 15. Can anyone explain what protects it from just getting amended

[@LoisMann-g4u]

I like your comment I love the CONSTITUTION I understand at the time it was only designed for white rich males I love gun ownership if I want one I should be able to purchase one what I don't want is ASSAULT RIFLES for private citizens and I'd like a answer to your question GOD bless the United States of America 🇺🇸🙏♥️

[@corycollins318]

Dang I disagreed with the first disagreement he had about the Ten Commandments. Can’t tell if I dig him as a professor. Lesson 9 tho, I’m still in it to win it

[@merlingrim2843]

Step 3 is technically incorrect. The sovereign are what give effect to law, and therefore are not excluded. Moreover, government does not have a monopoly on the force of law and controlled violence. There is nothing that government can legitimately do that we cannot do ourselves. The reason people don’t understand this is because they are operating under a flawed and mistaken belief that the constitution can legitimize an authority which is in fact a violation of our inalienable rights. Inalienable rights by definition mean cannot be taken or given away even by the possessor. Therefore “consent” by representation does not legitimize the violation of even a single sovereign individuals inalienable rights. The founding authors and signers had no more legitimate right to grant authority to violate the inalienable rights of even a single individual than we do. No sovereign has the legitimate right to violate the rights of another so the authority cannot possibly have been delegated or claimed valid by consent. To assert otherwise is completely unsupported by logic and reason.

@1:27 "this Constitution" Has never been adopted. No one has ever taken the ARTICLE VI CLAUSE 3 oath to support "this" Constitution. "The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support *this* Constitution;..."

[@cynthiawadeson8843]

So I'm mixed up--im a retired federal worker and I swore to uphold and defend the Constitution when I was hired--that's why I'm trying to educate myself with this course now since I now think the Constitution is threatened and I would like to keep my promise. So don't all Federal workers make this promise? Not trying to contradict you just would like to understand your point

[@rentiap]

@@cynthiawadeson8843 Hello. It's good to see someone actually asking. If you will look on the "about" tab on my KZbin channel, look for "The four organic laws." once you have gone there look for "taxation", then click on "George Washington Jailer And Tax Collector" In that article, it will explain what I am referring to.

[@standunitefightusausausa9846]

😲 I CANNOT BELIEVE ALL THESE COLLEGE KIDS DO NOT KNOW OUR US CONSTITUTION IS THE ONE & ONLY CONSTITUTION THAT WAS 1ST & HAS LASTED FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS???!!!

[@rowanaforrest9792]

It's only lasted about 250 years so far, so I'm surprised that no other Constitution has lasted that long. I never realized that, but 250 years doesn't seem like a remarkably long time. So many Leftists nowadays want to alter it or throw it away (which would effectively be the same thing). I hope they never succeed!

[@seashells5181]

It seems like the Constitution is hanging by a thread these days

[@sues3218]

It definitely is being tested. However, the lies are being exposed with the passage of time, which seems to be one of the intents of this document in the first place.

[@charleswest6372]

If we don't maintain it, we won't have it at all-!! Freedom is not free.
