THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION, EXPLAINED

While leisurely searching on the net the other day, I stumbled up upon a very fascinating 7 hour video lecture made by a man named Michael Badnarik. Mr. Badnarik educates his audience on exactly what the US constitution means, as opposed to what we are told it means. He explains how most people in America have absolutely no clue, on what the constitution says about our rights as citizens. We have been conditioned to accept any and everything that our government tells us to accept. His 18 years worth of research on the constituion is condensed to cover a 7 our lecture. . Micheal says, "After 18 years of studying the consitution of the america, i have enough information to fill any library shelves twice over". One very interesting statement that he makes is discussing the fact that citizens are the ones who set privileges for what government can/can not do, not the other way around.
One of the fundamental problems in the USA is that the
government has convinced us to believe we have certain privileges that the grant
to the citizens. Our government isn’t the ones who grant the privileges to the
citizens, the citizens grant the privileges to the government. The power goes
from the people, to the government, not the other way around.


Though this might seem like a very insignaficant notion, jus think about it for a second. How many times have you as a american citizen felt that you had to get permission to do something that you know is a natural right? I know I have.The time has come for American citizens to step up and take their rightfull place as the heads of this nation. After all, a democracy is a government ran by the people, right?
