Enumerated Powers - The Foundation of the Constitution, Art. I, Section 8
Topics covered:
- The underlying foundation of the Constitution is the doctrine of enumerated powers.
- Enumerated powers means that the federal government only has the authority specifically granted to it in the Constitution - the powers must be expressed (that is enumerated). All powers not granted to the federal government, remain with the States.
- Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution details the powers given to the federal government.
- Nearly all the drafters and ratifiers of the Constitution agreed that Congress and federal government should be limited to enumerated powers.
- The Anti-Federalists strongly opposed the Constitution because they believed that the powers that were given to the federal government were too broad and that the federal government would swallow up the States and destroy liberty. In other words, the Anti-Federalists thought that despite the doctrine of enumerated powers, the federal government was all powerful and unchecked.

Congress: Lawmaking, Bicameralism, Bills & Vetoes (Article I, Section 7)
Washington Crosses the Delaware — A Christmas Tale of 1776 (Re-Release)
Learn how by mid-December, 1776, the American Revolution was in desperate straits.
Explore that after a series of defeats, the American Army had retreated through New Jersey and was stationed in Pennsylvania — with the British Army across the Delaware River. The Continental Army was on the verge of utter collapse.
Overconfident, the British went into Winter Quarters.
Congress gave George Washington enormous authority, and Washington used the lull in fighting and his new power to reorganize and strengthen his troops.
Washington and his officers designed a daring attack on Hessian forces in Trenton, New Jersey. Before the battle, Washington inspired the troops through the reading of Thomas Paine’s American Crisis. Follow Washington's troops through the winter storm, the crossing of the nearly frozen Delaware River, an arduous march, and the pitched battle. The fate of the new nation depends on it.
Through divine intervention, Washington was able to mount a surprise attack on the hated Hessian troops in Trenton, winning an improbable victory, which became a critical turning point in the war.
Merry Christmas!

Thanksgiving - Origins, Meanings, Traditions, and Myths (Re-Release 2023)
Learn that the idea of gratitude and giving thanks is an ancient concept for mankind and expressly elevated in the Bible. Review how days of thanksgiving were originally commemorated in the English colonies in Virginia and Massachusetts, with the English dissenters, the Pilgrims, having the most influential celebrations. In the colonial era, Thanksgiving celebrations were centered on particular events and circumstances, and, accordingly, happened at different times. As Americans united against British tyranny, they made continental wide proclamations through the Continental Congress, but again tied to specific events and times. President George Washington issued the first two Thanksgiving Proclamations under the Constitution, and John Adams and James Madison did the same. Thomas Jefferson refused, and after James Madison, Thanksgiving was proclaimed by the States, but not by the President, until Abraham Lincoln. Sarah Josepha Hale’s drive to create a uniform, nation wide celebration was embraced by Lincoln and his successors, and it became firmly fixed to the Fourth Thursday of November under President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Feasts, running, football, parades, Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Giving Tuesday all flow from this powerful day of gratitude. Highlights include the Bible, Thessalonians 5:16-18, Colossians 2:7, Psalm 100:4, Colossians 4:2, Psalm 92, Philippians 4:6, King Henry VIII, Queen Elizabeth Anne Boleyn, Church of England, John Calvin, Puritans, Common Book of Prayers, King James I, Pilgrims, Mayflower, Plymouth England, Plymouth Harbor Massachusetts, Mayflower Compact, John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, Samoset, Squanto, Wampanoag, William Bedford, Thanksgiving commemoration, Melanie Kirkpatrick, Thanksgiving The Holiday at the Heart of the American Experience, William Bradford, Berkeley Plantation a/k/a Berkeley Hundred, The Margaret, John Woodlief, Jamestown, the Starving Time, Chief Opechancanough, Massacre of 1622, Massachusetts Bay Colony, New Amsterdam, First Continental Congress, Second Continental Congress, Day of Humiliation Fasting and Prayer (1776), Henry Laurens, Thanksgiving Day Proclamation (1777), Battle of Saratoga, Thomas McKean, Day of Thanksgiving and Prayer (December 18, 1781), George Washington, James Madison, Elias Boudinot, Aedanus Burke, Thomas Tudor Tucker, Federalist Party, Anti-Federalists, Constitution, William Samuel Johnson, Ralph Izard, Washington Thanksgiving Day Proclamation (October 3, 1789 for November 26, 1789), Whiskey Rebellion, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Letter, FDR Thanksgiving Speech (1938), President Lyndon Baines Johnson, Johnson Thanksgiving Speech (1963), President John F.

Congress: Taxation/Money Bills/Revenue/Origination Clause
“All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.” United States Constitution, Article I, Section 7
- Review the origins and debate over Article I, Section 7 of the United States Constitution, which provides that any bill raising revenue must originate in the House of Representatives. These bills were often referred to as “money bills” and this clause today is often referred to as the “Origination Clause.” This provision addresses the authority of the federal government to tax, as well as to raise revenues and funds from other sources.
- Article I, Section 7 ensures that taxation and similar means of raising money must first be proposed by the House of Representatives — which is composed of the most immediate representatives of the People. The Origination Clause preserves the keystone of “no taxation without representation.”
- The Senate has the authority to amend or concur in amendments to such bills, just like any other bill. This ensures the wisdom and experience of the Senate can influence these important matters, without allowing them to cower or coerce the House, and prevents an aristocracy from taking hold.
- Highlights include the Constitutional Convention, House of Representatives, Senate, Governor Edmund Randolph, Flag Day, Virginia Plan a/k/a Randolph Plan a/k/a Randolph Resolutions, Articles of Confederation, William Paterson, New Jersey Plan a/k/a Paterson Resolutions a/k/a Paterson Plan, Elbridge Gerry, Declaration of Independence, Sugar Act, Stamp Act, taxation without representation, Pierce Butler, French and Indian War a/k/a the Seven Years War, First Continental Congress, British Constitution, James Madison, House of Commons, Rufus King, George Read, Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, Roger Sherman, Charles Pinckney, James Wilson, Oliver Ellsworth, Robert Yates, Benjamin Franklin, Gunning Bedford, Luther Martin, George Mason, William Davie, John Rutledge, Abraham Baldwin, Grand Compromise, Gouverneur Morris, Hugh Williamson, Bastille Day, House of Lords, Federalist Papers, Anti-Federalist Papers, Federalist Paper No. 58, Federalist Paper No. 66, Tench Coxe, Civis Rusticus (Simple Citizen), James Iredell, North Carolina Ratifying Convention, and more.

Discover how these fifth column threats backfired - instead of cowering the colonists into submission, it turned the colonists solidly against the Empire - and it also failed to rally any material support in England's attempt to crush the colonies.
