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.”
Probably the most overlooked freedom protected by the First Amendment is the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances. The most common way to petition the government is to sue someone in court. But what happens when courts place their judgment above the law or when political factions use their influence to deny your rights? And what are the responsibilities of individuals when they exercise the right of petition? These are some of the questions we’ll answer in this episode.
John Jay said we should not only read and study the Constitution for ourselves, but we should teach the rising generation to be free. Today I have an interview with Joni Bryan, Founder and Executive Director of the 917 Society. She will explain what the 917 Society is doing to help teach the rising generation to be free, and what you can do to help. Then I’ll look at some recent news articles that not only show how important it is for us to take responsibility for our children’s education, but some examples of what can happen when we do.

Not only should we remember what happened in 2020, but if we don’t deal with the problems while they are small, they will inevitability grow. Whether these irregularities were sufficient to change the outcome of the election is not the point. How much corruption will the American people tolerate?
What can we do? There is a way we can inoculate ourselves against the racism, hate, and tyranny coming out of both governments and society. Rather than trying to fix Washington, D.C., we need to start by fixing ourselves, our families, and our neighbors. Only then can America once again be the land of the free and the home of the brave, which will fix Washington, DC…
When Alexis De Tocqueville came to this country to see what made us different, he said, “The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public’s money.” Will the American people consent to the destruction of their rights in exchange for the bribes coming out of Washington, D.C.?
We place all of our hopes and dreams for rights and liberty into the hands of these black-robed high-priests, praying that they will protect our rights for us. Yet repeatedly, these justices place their opinions, and those of their predecessors, above the law and their oath to support it. And We the People stand for it. The American people continue to allow these petty tyrants to…
George Washington said that the future of our government and the sacred fires of liberty were entrusted to the hands of the American people. It’s about time We the People once again took that trust seriously and stood up to those who are attempting to take over the government and displace the American people as the source of power…
This disease of the mind exists not only among those in government but the American population who slavishly submit themselves to the CDC, Dr. Fauci, and their government overlords. The good news is, there is a cure, and it is free. We’re being pressured to vaccinate ourselves against this mildly dangerous virus. Will the American people vaccinate themselves from the…
What happens when governments don’t treat us equally? When they give special protections to government officials or preferred groups and corporations? What can the American people do to correct these abuses of the powers we have delegated to governments at all levels in America?
If we are not willing to stand up and point out the truths, then not only is freedom of speech dead in America but the sacred fire of liberty as well. So we will look at the state of racism in America, where it is coming from, and how it is impacting the lives of everyone…
If the Constitution and the government no longer protect your rights, it created, who will ensure you can speak, print, and worship freely? Unless the American people stand up to force the government to only exercise powers we have legitimately consented to, America will continue to devolve from the shining light on a hill to the banana republic…
Will we, as those who declared independence in 1776, pledge our lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to the cause of liberty? Will we decide we like taking bribes more than our rights? Will we condemn our children to live in servitude to an all-powerful government because we wanted our government scraps more than their liberty?
Thomas Jefferson asked, “Who will govern the governors?” His answer is We the People. But we have shown that we are unwilling to govern those we hire to represent us in government. Even worse, we allow private citizens and groups to use the levers of government to bully and intimidate our fellow Americans. After looking at a few examples, I want to help you learn how to inform yourself so you can help prevent the corruption of power that is rampant in our nation.
These infringements on our rights are only the symptom of a much more serious problem, the ignorance, and apathy of the American people. George Washington said that the sacred fire of liberty has been entrusted to the hands of the American people. If this is how the American people act, I wonder if we should still be trusted with that responsibility?
