Award-winning historian Carol Berkin gives her take on the real story of how the Bill of Rights came to be. Julie Silverbrook, Executive Director at The Constitutional Sources Project, moderates.
Just a few minutes in, Madison was Federalist, he initially voted against the bill of rights during the continental constitution. It was George Mason who requested the bill of right during the continental constitution, he refused to sign the constitution.
Say what you will, but when that 2nd amendment was written, it was a known fact that every able bodied man already owned a rifle. The militia owned their own guns. Those guns were not issued in time of need. Each individual had a God given right to own the weapon or weapons of his choice. Anybody can read the history involved in the wording of the 2nd amendment until they are blue in the face and bug eyed, but every individual had a God given right to own their own gun. NO GOVERNMENT AGENCY HAS A RIGHT TO INFRINGE ON THAT RIGHT. The 2nd amendment is the ONLY thread left that is preventing the entire CONSTITUTION and its Bill of Rights from becoming a worthless piece of paper. The CONSTITUTION is not relative. The CONSTITUTION cannot be based upon what an individual's version of truth is or based simply on the opinion of some yahoo or even a Supreme Court Justice and his or her biased, marxist view. It is not based on some historian's opinion because they read every word of a hundred debates. That Constitution was written by a group of men who intended the Constitution to be absolute in its meaning, especially those Bill of Rights. Madison had the God given wisdom to understand this very important fact. The government today is full of communist and fascist who are trying desperately to replace the Constitution with International Corporate Law in order to enforce a globalistic system. These dipwads doing this are too blind to understand that their global system will leave this divided nation a desolate wasteland and the world will soon follow into nuclear WWIII. BILLIONS will die and there will be no winners. Human nature is a euphemism for satanic nature. Men and women in Congress, the bureaucrats, and world CORPORATIONS cry over the 2nd amendment trying every tactic to destroy it while those same useful idiots allow nuclear warheads to be pointed at each other's nations and call it mutual assured destruction. This is the absolute madness and insanity of mankind. When they no longer can solve the problems of the world they kill each other and enslave the survivors. This is why it is critical that none of those rights are allowed to be infringed upon. Unfortunately, there exists many who use freedom as a pretext to carry out evil to undermine the Constitution. This human scum hide as cowards behind freedom to carry out their tyranny as a wolf dressed up in sheep clothing hides behind the religious veil in order to destroy God's Ten Commandments. The lesson to be learned by all humanity is that mankind can do NOTHING, can achieve NOTHING of value cut off from God's Spirit, something humanity knows nothing about because their love and goodness is based on self centeredness. Their whole life is wrapped up in self pleasure, hedonistic lifestyle and instant gratification. Our secular educational system has done more to destroy the human mind than develop it. Our educational system develops the machine but fails miserably in developing the man. With that kind of education, is it any surprise that man's mind has become the most dangerous weapon on Earth and that this nation is drowning in a bowl full of sewage. The U.S. Constitution is no longer spoken about as the law of the land but as a wore out, no longer useful document by those who have always hated this nation and they won't be happy until they die along with this nation. THIS NATION WILL BECOME A DESOLATE WASTELAND AND ITS PEOPLE WILL BE SWEPT AWAY AS IF BY THE MIGHTY FORCE OF A TSUNAMI WHEN THE CONSTITUTION CEASES TO EXIST. THAT IS THE GOD'S TRUTH. THAT IS BECAUSE WITHOUT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE CONSTITUTION TO EXIST.
