The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – American democracy thrives on healthy conflict. The clash between three branches and three levels of government prevents overreach and preserves liberty. By encouraging checks and balances and federalism’s friction, power remains constrained within enumerated limits.

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Food, mortgage, and insurance are just a few of the priorities we’ll find in most people’s checkbooks. But what we see when we examine the national “checkbook” is something very different. As the saying goes, ‘If you want to know what is important to someone, look at their checkbook.’ If you want to understand why people do things, it helps to take the time to…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – At dawn on April 19, 1775, Seventy-seven colonial minute men confronted British redcoats on Lexington Green, igniting a struggle that reshaped history. Today, we reflect on those patriots’ courage and question whether our pursuit of security still honors the founding commitment to freedom. Will we protect our rights or trade them away for fleeting peace and forever preserve their legacy?
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Governments derive their authority from the consent of the governed. When they exceed their delegated powers, citizens must resist.

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – At the federal level, regulations governing finances and immigration often clash with constitutional law.

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Back in 1913, when the states ratified the Sixteenth Amendment, they fundamentally changed the relationship between the federal government and the American people, and it’s more than just one day of strife.

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – We’ve seen several instances where U.S. District Court judges have issued decisions, injunctions, and temporary restraining orders to try to stop the Trump Administration from advancing its agenda.

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Ronald Reagan warned that freedom is always one generation away from extinction.

As support for free speech weakens in America and worldwide, the responsibility to uphold constitutional values and educate future generations has never been more urgent. What are you doing about it?
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Lawsuits are everywhere, and I can’t help but notice how quickly disagreements turn into legal battles. While some seek justice, many are driven by power, position, or pure profit. I take a closer look at what’s really motivating these cases and question whether our legal system serves fairness—or simply fuels a culture obsessed with money.
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – If people can get you to focus on one thing, they can infringe on your rights somewhere else. For example, why do you think so many people are trying to get you to focus on what’s going on in Washington, D.C.?
