John Adams gave a warning saying the U.S. Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people and wholly inadequate to any other government. On September 17th, 1787, 39 of our nation’s founding fathers signed that great document and today it celebrates another birthday.
Returning to Crosstalk with details on its history was William J. Federer. William is a nationally known speaker, historian, author, and president of Amerisearch, Inc. He’s the speaker on “The American Minute” daily broadcast. He has authored numerous books including, America’s God and Country Encyclopedia of Quotations, Who is the King in America? and Socialism: The Real History From Plato to the Present – How the Deep State Capitalizes on Crises to Consolidate Control.
William began by reminding listeners that the most common form of government in world history has been via kings. He described kings as glorified gang leaders. So basically if you get rid of the police, eventually you’ll have gangs and the gang leader with enough weapons is known as a king, pharaoh, Caesar, kaiser, or czar. As we’ve seen through history, as weapons improve, these kings can kill more people so their kingdoms grow larger. In other words, instead of Cain killing Abel with a rock, they can kill with a bronze weapon, an iron weapon, a phalanx spear, a scimitar sword or gunpowder. If you’re friends with the gang leader/king you’re more equal. If not, you’re less equal. If you’re their enemy, you’re either dead or a slave.
As history moved along we saw the king of England become the most powerful king on the planet; a one-world-government guy with him at the top due to the fact that the sun never set on the British empire. However, there was a problem. America’s founders didn’t like the fact that a globalist king was telling them what to do, so they broke away and flipped the concept and made the people the king.
Kings have subjects that are subject to their will, while republics and democracies have citizens. The word “citizen” is Greek meaning, “co-ruler”, “co-sovereign” or “co-king”. Since America is a republic, that makes you a king, ruling through representatives.
This is just the start of a fascinating look back at how our Constitution came about, what makes it unique and what threats it’s under today.
