The United States Constitution and Bill of Rights

A whiteboard video on the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights.
My students use the following textbook, some of whose units I have intended to summarize with these videos:
Alavosus, Laura, editor. Social Studies Alive! America's Past. Palo Alto: TCI, 2010.
The whiteboard designs and spoken commentary are all my own.

IN CORRECT, under the Articles of Confederation, which ran the U.S. from 1777,to 1789 when Gorge Washington was Inaguated all 13 States had to vote yay for ratification.

[@RLaraMoore]

"Separation of church and state" *is NOT* in the Constitution. that phrase comes from a letter of correspondence by Jefferson and used in discussing the opposite context than people now misuse. The separation was meant to say that the government should not interfere with or impede citizen's rights regarding worshipping and following God. As stated in the 1st Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, *or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;* or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

[@powerfulstrong5673]

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of an Religion" means government must be neutral on the issues of Religion. It means there is a wall which separate the state and churches.

[@powerfulstrong5673]

You should notice that the omitting of the word "God" and making of no reference of deity in this Constitution is not a coincidence while all of the state constitutions since 1776 have mention or reference of "God" or deity. Even the Articles of Confederation had mentioned God as "the Great Governor of the World". The Framers of the United States Constitution intended the government of the United States should be secular and neutral in regards to religions.

[@user-dr4ew5cg5r]

Just a minor error I think? Idk what you meant by "In the year 1788, the Constitution had just been approved", but if you meant ratification, it should be 1789. The Bill of Rights was a product of the Massachusetts Compromise of 1788 to placate the Anti-Federalists (most notably John Hancock and Samuel Adams) who feared the federal government would have too much power. And because the Federalists insisted that the Constitution be ratified as written, both sides agreed to ratify the Constitution first, and then immediately amend it, hence a "compromise". So technically, the Constitution was set to be amended 10 times even before it was ratified.

You have it wrong, the founding fathers feared a strong federal government, thus the state and individual rights, but understood the necessity of a central government. The federal governments was to control interstate commerce but they limited taxation who import and export tariffs and a few other things. Why did the have the second amendment the right of the people to bear arms?

[@fixento]

@Jeffrey Rutt I understand that it was from the articles of confederation. The final straw was the Declaratory Acts that eliminated the colonies rights to govern themselves. It was the stupidity and arrogance of the royalty and English parliament that made them a one time zone empire, The states already have a militia, it's called the National Guard. The federal government has the Reserves although it can call up NG units when necessary.. Our representatives need a mandatory course to understand what the constitution means and the abuse that caused them to revolt. Local militias are becoming more popular, who actually were the first to fight for our liberty. If we are going to keep our liberty, it is absolutely necessary for the people to have the means for the government to fear the people. The second amendment wasn't there for hunting, it was to protect our individual liberty from enemies both foreign and especially domestic since their rights were removed without recourse.

[@fixento]

@Jeffrey Rutt Correct, the only two reasons the president can federalize the national guard, the Insurrection Act [difficult to prove there is a civil war] or a war. The right for local militias regardless if they are necessary or not, and the right to bear arms is absolute. Biden has absolutely no authority to require people to wear masks or remove people's firearms. However, he will be nothing but a puppet on a string due to his character and dementia by the progressives urging him to overstep his authority. I doubt the marionettes will interfere with food production or distribution. Less that half of the 3.5 million truckers are in food distribution. Trucks are independent, conservative and patriotic In the event they feel that their rights are being infringed, their vote stolen and have economic pressures, will have them going ona sick out and stopping delivery to selected areas. In three weeks civil disorder will occur and in five weeks looting and riots, but hell this cities are use to it. Read about the farmer revolts in France when they use their trackers to block traffic. The French socialist government copulated,.

@@fixento Not all the Founding Fathers of the United States were in favor of the sovereignty of the individual states. Some of the Framers of this Constitution such as James Wilson amd Alexander Hamilton were in favor of a strong central government over the sovereignty of the individual states. It was the Anti-Federalists who opposed the ratification of this Constitution were in favor of the sovereignty of individual states and a very weak central government.
