The Constitution Study
Weekdays 4 PM ET
The American people, through ignorance and apathy, have lost their love for their rights and liberties. Our rights are trampled daily by governments, universities, the media, and businesses both large and small. Yet the vast majority of Americans not only bow to the pressure to relinquish their rights, they frequently ask for them to be taken. What are we to do?
Since 2014 Paul Engel has been helping everyday Americans read and study the Constitution of their country and teaching the rising generation to be free. In this program, Paul uses news and current events as a springboard to help explain the Constitution and encourage others to stand up for their rights, their children’s rights, and those of the nation.
The goal of this program is to help everyday people defend their rights by reading, studying, and understanding the supreme law of the land, the Constitution of the United States of America. Author and speaker, Paul Engel has spent more than 20 years studying and teaching about both the Bible and the U.S. Constitution. That experience helps Paul explain difficult concepts in a way most people can understand. As one manager described, “Paul can take the most complex idea and explain it in a way my grandmother can understand.”
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Some say that sarcasm is the highest form of intelligence, others that it’s the lowest form of wit. But what does it say about America in the 21st century that sarcasm is the greatest source of truth about us?
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Simply add the term “phobe” to a topic in an attempt to dismiss the arguments against you. Or maybe refer to your opponent as a “denier” rather than countering their point. What we have is not a debate but a schoolyard name-calling contest. Do you think policies should be made based on who has the best name-callers?
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – In Federalist Papers #78, Alexander Hamilton said that the judiciary “will always be the least dangerous to the political rights of the Constitution.” Why? In his words, “because it will be least in a capacity to annoy or injure them.” Yet look at the federal judiciary today. Rather than a group with…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – What should Americans see in some recent news out of California and the other states that are copying what California is doing? If we are to learn from history, then the Marxist revolution in California should be a warning sign to all freedom-loving Americans…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – As more and more data comes out about this assault upon not just the American people, but the world, I, for one, look back and agree, that it was all worth it. I believe it was David Foster Wallace who first said, “Act in haste, repent at leisure.” I wonder how many people today are repenting their decision to get the jab today?!
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Back in 2020, my Facebook account was permanently disabled. While Facebook claimed that I had violated some community standard, they refused to tell me what standard or give an example of how I had violated it. I was teaching at the time how, under the Constitution and laws of the USA…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – So in whom or what do you place your confidence? A better question may be, how do you decide where you place your confidence? Ronald Regan once said we should “Trust, but verify.” But do the American people verify who or what they have placed their trust in?
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – The call is socialism, progressivism, or just government policy; when government substitutes its agenda for the people’s liberty, they are acting tyrannical. The examples are numerous, but the solutions are simple. I’m not saying that it will be easy, or that there will not be risks…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Have you ever been audited by the IRS, required to get a government license, or been stopped at a checkpoint? What do all of these actions have in common? It is the government placing the burden of proof upon the people. But this is not how the framers of our Constitution had designed government to work…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – The difference between a democracy and a republic is simple. In democracies, the people vote for legislation, in a republic, they elect representatives to exercise their powers for them. In a constitutional republic, those representatives are bound to a document that both proscribes and limits their power…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – While the reports of malfeasance in public schools predate COVID, when parents got a good look at what their children we being taught, it raised many concerns. It seems the more government gets involved, the worse education gets. America spends more per child, yet has poorer outcomes than the…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – People complain about the “evil corporations,” but we forget that government is merely another sort of corporation, a public one rather than a private one. And just like those corporations that so many like to vilify, the government is made up of people. As Ronald Reagan said, “Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.”
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – There are many people calling for term limits. Limits on Congress, limits on state and local officials. There’s even legislation in Congress to place term limits on Supreme Court justices. But can Congress place term limits on those justices? And just why do so many think term limits will fix our problems?
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – The American people have been lied to so blatantly and for so long, yet there are those that still expect us to believe them. What disturbs me more than the expectation of belief, is how often the people fall for it. It seems like government actors are Lucy to Charlie Brown of the American people…
