Constitution: The Wisest Part According to James Madison
The wisest part of the Constitution – James Madison specifically singled out one clause where he said the most wisdom is found. And what a surprise – not only is his view completely ignored today, the clause itself has been twisted into exactly what he warned against.

Null and Void: Thomas Jefferson’s 1774 Radical Declaration
Two years before the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson penned a long and detailed list of grievances regarding British acts going back more than a century. He not only referred to them as a “nullity” but pointed out that “we declare them void.” Jefferson’s pamphlet, “A Summary View of the Rights of British America,” is an incredibly important part of the foundation of the American Revolution – something the government-run schools barely even mention today.

Free and Independent States: Forgotten Conclusion of the American Revolution
Signed on Sept 3, 1783 – the Treaty of Paris was intended to end the war for independence. But the war didn’t officially end on that date with the signatures of Franklin, John Adams and John Jay. The treaty, made with 13 free, sovereign, and independent states, still needed their approval, and it almost didn’t happen. This forgotten history reveals the true nature of the revolutionary American system.

17th Amendment Myth Busted: There was no Recall Power
A lot of people believe that before the 17th amendment, state legislatures had the power to recall and replace senators in congress. But that’s nothing more than a myth. Records from the ratification debates show that this power never existed under the Constitution.

Mercantilism Before the Tea Party: Forgotten Grievance of the Revolution
When government-run schools teach that the American Revolution was mostly about “taxation without representation,” the underlying message is clear: today, you have representatives, so if you don’t like what they do, just get new ones. But this ignores a deeper cause – a centuries-old system called mercantilism. Murray Rothbard described it as “a system of statism using economic fallacy to build up imperial power through monopolies and special privileges.” This was a significant part of the real foundation of colonial grievances, long before the Stamp Act and tea taxes ever sparked broader resistance and calls for independence.

The Ignored “Fundamental Principle” of the American Revolution
Think the American Revolution was just about taxes and tea parties? Think again. The real battle was over a much deeper issue: the colonists’ unwavering belief in their right to local, self-government vs a British claim of unlimited power. James Madison called this clash the “fundamental principle on which our independence itself was declared.” But he was far from alone. In this episode, we’ll dive into the insights of Madison, plus more from people like Jefferson, Hancock, Paine, and others to uncover the forgotten truth behind the Revolution.
