I feel your pain in not “knowing” more about US history (I have an MA in Irish history and a MSc in Nationalism). Your desire to know more is admirable and understandable (I too, wish I had more knowledge). <br><br>I thank you for this video and admire your dedication to understanding more of “our” history.<br><br>Thank you 🙏

It's strange: the constitution is praised for limiting the power of the government to the laws that the government itself comes up with, but simultaneously it is also praised as being a "living, growing document". Both limited and growing.

The founding definition of citizen was the same as eligible to vote aka participate in government. <br>This was the same as the roman Republic and greek city states. Coverture provided the use of citizen rights for children and spouse. <br>Birthright citizenship breaks that definition because the right to participate in government is withheld until the person reaches adulthood. <br>The definition of "the people" was those persons eligible to participate in governance of the jurisdiction acting as a group.

The Judiciary at the federal level is actually "running" on the <i>Doctrine</i> of <i>Constitutional Avoidance</i> , thanks to it's self-adjudicated option to do so. It has also fabricated the necessary rulings to give birth to such lucrative endeavors as sustaining the legislative authority to form and delegate _Agency Authority_, even through federal grant programs to private for-profit companies with limited liability and incentivized, salary dependent tools to violate individual rights. This was necessary to assist the legislature to find a commercial, compelling public interest in nearly every single interaction between individuals and legal persons. Sure, it is kind of audacious for a country that's been bankrupt since 1933, which gives away billions in grants purportedly from its own collected tax money, to its citizens to fund technology, long arm jurisdiction, federal supremacy and administrative rule.<br>Gawd shave the Queen.
