Every empire follows the same script, but this isn't the version you're used to. It's not about overextension, debt, or even manipulating the money - those are all symptoms. The real disease? Consolidate power, crush liberty, and the rest is history. And now, it's our turn. This episode is a warning for the ages about the story of empires. Because liberty must die for empires to thrive.

There is no situation - ever - where the President can unilaterally take the United States to war. No emergency. No exception. No loophole. James Madison made this absolutely clear, again and again. And when he became president, he followed that rule to the letter - not once, but twice - in the heat of war. In this episode: the father of the Constitution vs the modern myth of unilateral executive war power.

Benjamin Franklin warned, “This can only end in despotism.” He knew that when the people themselves become corrupt, liberty doesn’t stand a chance. He wasn’t alone - founders and the great thinkers they learned from saw it over and over again: no matter the system, no matter the laws, once the people decay, tyranny follows. Guaranteed. And today, we’re on that same path - not because we’re being forced, but because we’ve chosen it. This episode is about the one corruption no constitution can fix: the corruption of the people themselves. The post No Constitution Can Ever Fix This first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.

On June 12, 1776, Virginia made rebellion law. They didn’t ask for permission - they said take it, whether government likes it or not. In this episode, we’re digging into a forgotten founding document: the Virginia Declaration of Rights - where power comes from, why governments exist, and what the people have the right to do when it all goes off the rails.

Again and again, the leading minds of the American founding warned that debt would lead to corruption, war, tyranny - and collapse. Today, that curse is bigger than ever - and it’s still growing.

On June 7, 1776, Richard Henry Lee stood before the Continental Congress with a resolution declaring that the united colonies were free and independent states, and that all political connection between them and Great Britain was “totally dissolved.” It also called for foreign alliances and a plan that would become the Articles of Confederation. The Lee Resolution was the culmination of a series of revolutionary measures that had already begun secession from the British Empire. This is the story behind the Declaration of Independence that most people never learn about.

In 1765, after the British passed the Stamp Act, a 29-year-old freshman legislator in Virginia named Patrick Henry pushed back - hard. His Virginia Resolves didn’t just protest a tax; they rejected Parliament’s power outright and called for resistance. “If this be treason…” he thundered in support of them. When government tried to silence the message, Henry stood firm - and the other colonies joined in, publishing every single word. On this episode, learn the defiance, the suppression, and the spark that lit the fuse. The post TREASON: How Patrick Henry Ignited the Revolution first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.

Thomas Jefferson sounded the alarm over the greatest threat to the Constitution and your liberty: the federal judiciary. On this episode, learn his four warnings - consolidation is death to freedom, judges are just as corrupt and power-hungry as any politician, the courts drive centralization, and judicial supremacy turns a “land of the free” into an oligarchy ruled by black robes.

In 1794, John Taylor of Caroline launched a direct assault on Alexander Hamilton’s entire financial regime - the national bank, the debt, the funding system, the whole machine. He called it a “political papacy,” a new aristocracy built on paper money, perpetual debt, and lawless power. On this episode, learn about Taylor’s forgotten takedown of the system that laid the foundation for the largest government in history.
