The Constitution Line By Line: Article I, Section 1

[@northernstar1869]

Thank you Senator Lee for putting this together.

[@MarkScott-c8g]

This is outstanding and I will spread this to my friends and family. In my high school government classes back in the 70s, we studied more government than they cover today in high school, but Mike Lee's "The Constitution Line by Line" is outstanding if the rest of the series is like this. Thank you for producing this educational series.

Hello, I'm Gezer from Brazil. I wish we had the same kind of Constitution here in Brazil, thank you, Senator Lee. I've been following you and other Republican senators like Ted Cruz and Tom Cotton for a couple of weeks now, I appreciate your commitment to the truth. I can say this series on the Constitution is an answer to my prayers since I've been looking for something like that for a while, God bless you and God bless the United States of America. God bless Brazil.

The US Constitution does not have a copyright. Every country can have a copy of the US Constitution. Any country that doesn’t is corrupt.

I learned a lot. As a free thinker. Thank you.

[@judycostales4103]

GREAT TO LEARN FROM YOU SENATOR LEE !

[@francischic7854]

My intro to government class was great, but this surpassed my greatest expectations. Thank you!

[@magavelli420]

Awesome! Very solid. Very much needed.

Excellent introduction. If a majority of Congress would simply adhere to the oath of office they took, they would all endeavor to undo these bureaucratic systems that do great harm to the American people while bypassing the Constitutional limitations on government. The sometimes 100,000 page annual monstrosity known as the Federal Register documents changes that will effect the Code of Federal Regulations. It has long been a problem in our nation that unelected bureaucrats have been able to create and change policies that can deprive the American people of their constitutional rights, including even the right to a jury trial and the right to an appeal (via administrative courts outside the judicial branch, etc.). The Supreme Court decisions from 1935, 1989 and 2001 described within seem incongruent with the fact that court allowed FDR to create an administrative state with regulatory power that has since grown into the monstrosity we face today...

Thank you, Senator! :)

[@blahblahblah747]

i really appreciate the content. Thank you. I have a copy of the constitution but it's hard to understand what exactly it means as well as its implications

I withdraw consent to be governed. Without prejudice, all rights reserved.

In WI districts are gerrymandered by the Republican Party to make sure that they maintain legislative power over Democrats and all others in both the State Assembly and State Senate. That provides only the Governor who can balance by vetoing but he cannot make laws. Also in WI gerrymandering has made sure that the federal House of Representatives is dominated in number by at least 6-3 Republicans over Democrats so they can have legislative dominance. It is possible to balance this dominance by election of 2 U.S. Senators from the same Party. Gerrymandering in WI causes some problem in this in that the Republicans have so much dominance that people that differ from their views are kept from voting in that they know they have no chance of being heard so stay home from voting.

I recently listened to an audio version of the constitution.....I was surprised at how many times the word "insurrection" was used.

[@patkelley8293]

I always understood that the Constitution served as a prohibition on the Legislature when they make laws.

[@OllyVirgil]

And the courts can't give immunity to that constitution

[@briancross6820]

And we the people realize the breach of contract for we the people reserved never consents 🇺🇸

[@Hshsuiiien]

Keep it up

[@OllyVirgil]

The court cannot give the congress authority to violate the constitution

[@cornydad]

Sounds like he's talking about organizations like the ATF who makes rules and treats as laws

[@caseymarie4467]

It looks like crime. I was taken off of insurance and now my lungs are going haywire?

[@andrewewels3054]

Why does Congress, make so many unconstitutional laws ?

[@theresewalters1696]

Lobbying is also a part of Congress, unfortunately 😕.

[@joneday9131]

Yuck I think we should stick to propositions and add them to the election ballots.

[@libertyandjusticeforme1236]

Only as a pure democracy? That has proved to turn into Demagoguery, where those with most charisma would shout the people into voting for destructive policy. It also turns into mob rule or diversion of power to a parental state or tyrant, as seen in Greece and every other civilization that has engaged in direct democracy.

Please think about who you are speaking to. You start out very simply like you are speaking to everyone. Then words like promulgated start to pop up and you lose some listeners that way.

[@alfredobarrios1095]

Legalese. Sometimes it is unavoidable. However, I'd love to have it translated into ordinary English as much as it is possible. Those of us who are not familiar with common law start getting lost when cases are mentioned and all.

I felt the vocabulary was just fine for high school level and young adults there is no need for any other simplifying

[@thelz7909]

@@Butterking99 It should be fine, but the recent national educational report card revealed that about half of all recent high school graduates are unable to meet basic literacy standards. We have a systemically flawed educational sytem that needs correction.

[@AshtonTheMelon]

I think your concern can only be taken as personal condescension for your fellow man. I understand that may not be your intention. However, I personally believe treating others as if they are at your level, outside of fringe cases, will only encourage them to rise and retain. That is if they are truly interested in what you are discussing. If they aren't, then simplifying your language will hardly have any effect.
