Path to Liberty

This principle – central to the American Revolution – has been almost totally forgotten and ignored. On this episode, we’re uncovering powerful warnings from leading Founders and Old Revolutionaries about the dangers of compliance with usurpations of power. And a century later, the radical Lysander Spooner took up the same cause, fiercely defending these principles of resistance to defend liberty. These are lessons we can’t afford to ignore any longer.

“If their duty, their honor, and their oaths will not bind them, let us not put into their hands our liberty, and all our other great interests.” Those are the words of Gouverneur Morris, the “penman of the Constitution.” Today, despite that warning – politicians ignore that oath every day – and the people keep letting them get away with it. The price is our liberty.

Refuse to comply. That’s exactly what the people did to bring down the Stamp Act once it went into effect on November 1, 1765. We’ve all heard about the fiery protests and the bold resistance, but there was so much more to the story. On this episode, learn their hidden strategies of defiance – the methods they used that government-run schools never talk about. These are the same strategies the founders told us to use to nullify unconstitutional acts today.

Repealing the 17th Amendment is the right move to help restore federalism – but is it enough? The Anti-Federalists warned us about dangers in the Senate’s structure long before the 17th came along, and without understanding those warnings, we could still end up with the same problems: corruption, power grabs, and more centralized control.

On his very last day in office, James Madison shocked Congress by vetoing an infrastructure bill – even though he supported the idea behind it. Madison refused to sign off on the measure, saying it didn’t follow the strict limits of the Constitution, even if it aligned with his own political goals. This might be the most important – and most ignored – veto in history.

This government “will swallow the liberties of the people, without giving them previous notice.” That’s the stark warning Patrick Henry gave us in 1788. In a series of fiery speeches, he laid out some of the most powerful anti-Federalist arguments against the Constitution—predicting all kinds of abuses of power and the eventual destruction of liberty. In this episode, we’re breaking down six categories of his most urgent warnings, each filled with powerful quotes we can’t afford to ignore any longer.

“The active business of the American Revolution began in Philadelphia.” That’s what Benjamin Rush and John Adams believed – because the spark that ignited the Boston Tea Party wasn’t in Boston. It was lit in Philadelphia on October 16, 1773. This forgotten piece of history involves fiery protests, bold resolutions, and even letters from the Committee on Tarring and Feathering.
