Constitution 101 | Lecture 1

I had this class in 8th grade. It was called Civics, and was MANDATORY than. (1973)

I think the politicians of today need to take your class!

Every citizen needs to watch the entire series!

I'm first gen mexican American my parents came here for a better life and I'm so blessed to be in a country that is free I believe God will still use America to conquer the evil around us!

They need to make this mandatory again in schools to learn the U.S. constitution.

It’s sad and alarming that this isn’t taught in schools anymore. It’s to the government’s advantage to keep the people ignorant of their rights.

Thank you Hillsdale for these videos. I appreciate it so much. My grandmother was from Norway she taught me how lucky I was to be born in America. She couldnt wait to become a citizen. She taught me to be proud of my country to be a Patiot😊

Mr. Larry I am 65 years of age I have never in my education years had a class like this one I simply enjoy it and I am glad I registered on your class thank you and Blessings to you and those who have work to make these classes possible.

The governor of Missouri told the federal government that, "if they tried to enforce federal gun laws in the state of Missouri, those federal officers would be charged in a Missouri State Court and imprisoned!". THAT is the kind of federal government that the founding fathers didn't want and that brave act of rebellion by a State government, probably made them smile in their graves!!! 🇺🇸

This should be in every middle and high school curriculum!!!

Thank you, sir. By listening to your lecture, I gained a much better understanding of our Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.

I devoted a large part of my adult life to defending the Constitution so my love for it comes naturally. It breaks my heart to see us become more unmoored from it with each passing election. Daniel Horowitz put it best when he said people don't run on restoring constitutional government because there isn't any money in it. Pray for our Republic, the one Franklin said we could have as long as we could keep it.

I'm bookmarking this for my homeschooling classes.. I'm totally going to make sure my children know this stuff.. Thank you.

Declaration: We have a problem Constitution: We have the solution

Thank you for a superb presentation!! Dr. Boyd Rist from Liberty University was my college history professor. He was a gifted teacher and stirred my love for "His Story." May the Lord richly bless the ongoing efforts of your institution and your class!

This should be mandatory for every politician to watch, over and over.

To those who read this and understand. I took an Oath before God, twice once as a USN sailor and one as a cop, and only He or my death can relieve me of that Oath. So help me God.

I took this coarse 7 years ago. It was one of the greatest things I ever did. Thank you Hillsdale for all the priceless knowledge. I am a better American today for it.

Thank you so much for your time and dedication. This is a wonderful course. I wish I had learned this in school. Instead I was taught to be ashamed of the founding of this country and never anything about the documents. That was in the 60's and 70's. They started indoctrination a long time ago. I have always been so proud of our country because of what my parents taught I am saddened to say I was always too busy and I am only now passing this on to my daughter and granddaughter. They need to have a foundation of how great this country is. This country offered a poor single parent family child the ability to become a doctor thru hard work (2-3 jobs while in school) and perseverance. I Praise God for all He has blessed me with and being born in such a great country.

Wow. This is high and heady stuff. These lecturers take my breath away with their passion and depth of knowledge. You just know they live and breathe their subject. I have been extremely challenged and inspired. What a privilege.
