Are you a constitutional scholar?

Oooof. That’s part of the problem. The Constitution does not belong to “constitutional scholars” or government officials. The Constitution belongs to you, me and the American People. It is the ONLY legal document and bulwark of freedom against federal tyranny.

I mean, you’ve kind of hit the nail on the head.The American People themselves need to be WELL VERSED in the Constitution as written and originally understood and intended.

It is the American People that MUST know and understand the presumptions of the Constitution and what it contains. IT IS THEIRS and no one else’s. The American People MUST the use the Constitution as the legal basis for recall, impeachment, and state nullification.

My background is completely irrelevant. The issue is the American People or a significant portion of them must become familiar with the document that legally allows America to be the special place it is.

What does it take to inform our population? I don’t know, but it needs to happen. I mean anyone could get a copy of the Constitution if they wanted, but they should read the Declaration of Independence first since that contains certain presumptions of the Constitution (for instance, Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness are not government-given, but God-Given right; that we the peole via the states CREATE and DELEGATE certain LIMITED and ENUMERATED powers to the feds via the Constitution).
