“With respect to alien enemies, no doubt has been intimated as to the federal authority over them.” That was James Madison, referring to the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 – an act he saw as constitutional while rejecting the rest of the Alien and Sedition Acts. In this episode, you’ll learn what the act actually says, why Madison defended it while opposing the others, and how narrowly it applies in practice.

Almost every politician and so-called expert wants you to believe the president can unilaterally take the United States to war – just as long as they don’t call it a war. But that’s not what the Constitution says, that’s not how the Founders understood it, and that’s not how Presidents Washington, Adams, Jefferson, or Madison followed it in practice.

Federal law is NOT always supreme – far from it. That’s a myth ripped straight from the British system that sparked the American Revolution. This episode exposes the Supremacy Clause Hoax – one of the worst distortions of the Constitution, pushing the idea that the federal government holds virtually unlimited power. The Founders fought a long, bloody war to escape that very system – yet today, it’s being embraced once again.

On March 18, 1766, the British Parliament repealed the Stamp Act – but on the very same day, they passed something far more dangerous: the Declaratory Act. This law claimed Parliament had the power to make laws “in all cases whatsoever” over the American colonies and people. It wasn’t just about taxes or representation – it was about unlimited, centralized power. Decades later, James Madison called this the “fundamental principle” behind independence. John Hancock, Thomas Paine, John Dickinson, and Thomas Jefferson all saw it as the true cause of the Revolution. But they never teach this in government-run schools.

In 1771, James Lovell stood before a massive crowd in Boston to deliver a speech commemorating the first anniversary of the Boston Massacre on March 5, 1770. His oration left no room for compromise: warning against standing armies, defending the people’s right to bear arms, declaring freedom as a birthright, and rejecting Parliament’s authority over the colonies entirely. This episode explores James Lovell’s powerful speech, its aftermath, and a background story about Paul Revere’s role in the commemoration of the Boston Massacre.

“Undefined, unbounded, and immense power” – that’s what anti-federalists warned we’d eventually get under the Necessary and Proper Clause. Today, it’s easily one of the most twisted and abused parts of the Constitution. In this episode, learn about three key views of the clause: the modern view, which began with Alexander Hamilton and John Marshall; the strictly limited view from James Madison and Thomas Jefferson; and a middle ground from one of the clause’s authors, Edmund Randolph.

In this episode, get the essential introduction to nullification, highlighting five core principles behind its foundation.

Almost everything in modern “constitutional law” is based on a myth that dates back to Chief Justice John Marshall and the 1803 case of Marbury v. Madison. According to the myth, Marshall not only CREATED the power of judicial review but also established judicial SUPREMACY – giving the courts ultimate authority over the other branches, the states, and even the people. In this episode, we smash that myth to pieces and reveal the true story behind Marbury.
