Constitution Alive: Constitution Day Quick Start
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The fastest way to lose your freedoms is to stop reading the document designed to protect them. Constitution Day gives us the perfect excuse to change that, and we take it head-on with a practical, non-lawyer-friendly guide to understanding the United States Constitution without outsourcing your brain to courts or pundits.
We walk through why original intent matters, using the founders’ own advice to “carry ourselves back” to the time of adoption and ratification. Instead of piling on modern judicial tests that leave people confused about what religious liberty or limited government even mean, we focus on the genuine article: the text, the structure, and the historical context that shaped the Constitution. Along the way, we share memorable analogies like counterfeit detection and even a surprising language lesson from an old McGuffey Reader that proves why historical meaning matters.
We also tackle a real frustration for new learners: amendments. If you have ever tried to read Article II and got lost flipping between the 12th, 20th, 22nd, 23rd, and 25th Amendments, you are not alone. We explain a plain-language, “as amended” approach that helps you read the Constitution with clarity while still respecting the original wording. Then we bring it home with a simple set of citizen skills to practice: read it, study it, teach it, know your rights, and defend those rights when leaders cross the line.
If you care about civic education, constitutional literacy, and passing freedom to the next generation, this conversation is for you. Subscribe, share this with a friend for Constitution Day, and leave a review with the one part of the Constitution you most want to understand.
Constitution Day And Why It Matters
SPEAKER_03Welcome to the Intersection of Faith and Culture. It's the Wall Builder Show, taking on the hot topics of the day from a biblical, historical, and constitutional perspective. Rick Green here with David Barton and Tim Barton, and it's Constitution Day. I love Constitution Day. I tell you what, we should make this, I mean, we should be getting together in churches and schools and you know, having having rallies all over the country. Of course, it's the 250th this year of the Declaration, not the Constitution. So, you know, 11 years from now we'll we'll uh we'll do that with the with the Constitution. But it's the 250th of the birth of the nation. And so it's a great time to celebrate what would come later, eleven years after the Declaration, our Constitution. Uh the no doubt the greatest constitution any country has enjoyed. It's brought more peace and prosperity and um, you know, just incredible uh religious liberty, all the things that we enjoy as Americans. And so that's why this week we've been sharing with you Constitution Alive, the first week of Constitution Alive. Uh a course that uh we've been really, really blessed to have so many people go through it. We've got different versions of it. We got Biblical Citizenship in Modern America, which has a big chunk of of what you've been listening to that this week uh here on on the Wall Boulder Show. Uh but also interviews with uh all kinds of folks like uh you know, Jeremy Boring and Kirk Cameron and Charlie Kirk and a lot of other people that contributed to that Biblical Citizenship class, which is a constitution class um that that is done from a biblical perspective. And and so the reason we've been playing this this week is to kind of get you ready for today, Constitution Day, and and and encourage you to talk to your family about it tonight over dinner, to to put a post on social media today a celebration of of Constitution Day. And of course there are actually education laws that require the Constitution to be taught in in schools. There was a a law that I passed in Texas uh way back in in 2001 that requires in Texas schools the Constitution and Declaration both to be covered, not only today on Constitution Day, but throughout this week, that they spend at least three to five hours of instruction on the declaration of the Constitution. So if you're in Texas and they're not doing that, let your local school know and encourage them to follow the law and even give them the Patriot Academy Constitution Day curriculum that's available on our website. And and if you haven't signed up as a constitution coach, today is a perfect day to do that on Constitution Day. Go to Patriotacademy.com, sign up for free as a constitution coach. You get access to all those materials and start hosting a class in the next couple of weeks. It's a great way to celebrate the Constitution. You can do that at Patriotacademy.com. So we're going to jump back in where we left off yesterday. It's the conclusion of week one of Constitution Alive. Several million people have been through these courses. We encourage you to go through the entire course if you have not yet done that, but you can listen right here on the Wobbler Show. So here we are with Constitution Alive with David Barton and Rick Green.
A Quick Start Plan For Learning
SPEAKER_03I mean, how many times do you try to get people to study the Constitution? And even if you just give them a pocket constitution, they never open it. What we've got to do is we've got to put some tools in their hands that they can quickly access how this country works and they can quickly access how to be a part of it. So just keep that in mind. It's not, I really encourage you actually to dig deeper. Let this be the quick start guide and then go back home and do the more extended classes. Hillsdale College does a great program. Uh the uh National Uh Center for Constitutional Studies has some fantastic programs. In fact, 5,000 year leap. I've got up here the making of America. I'll tell you, a great source. My favorite of all is Ed Meese's uh commentary on the Constitution. He goes line by line in this thing. Check that out. Heritage Foundation put that out, and it's it's another great tool. There's so many great tools out there. So our goal is not to replace any of them, our goal is just to try to get people interested in going and doing those things. So that's kind of the concept tonight. We're gonna do the quick start guide to the Constitution, if you will. So remember our goal is to identify our rights and then know how to protect and preserve them, how to properly do that. So that's our our approach number one. Approach number two is we're not gonna focus on judicial interpretation, we're gonna focus on original intent. There's uh another analogy for this one. My mom actually gave this one to me. She she was a bank teller when she was younger. And she said, as a bank teller, I went through all this training and I handled all this money, and she said, Rick, they never they never gave me a counterfeit bill.
SPEAKER_02They never showed me a counterfeit so I could feel it and know what it felt like.
SPEAKER_03She said, No, no, what they did was they had me handle the real deal, the genuine article so much so that when that counterfeit bill came through my fingers, I knew something's not right. Because I had worked with the genuine article so much, I recognized the counterfeit immediately. Same thing for us. We're gonna study the real deal. We're gonna study the constitution itself. We're gonna study the founders and what they said and did and how they acted when they were putting the constitution in place. We're gonna study the actual words of our founding documents, not on what some judge says that he thinks or she thinks that they meant. I think that's what's gotten us off course as we've allowed judge after judge to pontificate on what some other judge said, about what some other judge said, about what some other and we've gotten so far off course when we got, you know, you think about the freedom of religion now. We got so many tests on what the freedom of religion is or when you violate that or when the establishment clause is. I mean, Sandra Day O'Connor had her three-part test, and then her four-part test, and her five-part. I mean, everybody's got all their tests, right? And it's just confusing. Why? Because we've gotten away from studying the original itself and what the founders did. So our goal is original intent. Let me give you a couple quotes from the founders on this. They said, on every question of construction, carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted. And how about back to the room? Huh? I don't usually get to say that in the class.
SPEAKER_02Let's carry ourselves back to the time. Here we are in the actual room where the Constitution was adopted.
SPEAKER_03Recollect the spirit manifested in the debate. So what these guys were actually saying right here when they adopted the Constitution. And instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text or invented against it. In other words, instead of taking the words and, oh, well, today that word means X, Y, and Z.
SPEAKER_02So this must be what the founders meant, or trying to invent some meaning into the Constitution to try to get an outcome on the judicial decision of instead of doing that, Jefferson says we should go back to the time, study what these guys were actually saying, and instead then conform to the probable one in which it was passed.
WallBuilders 250 Years Resource Page
SPEAKER_01Hey guys, this is Tim Barton from Wall Builders. I want to let you know about a special landing page we have on the Wall Builders website. If you go to wallbuilder.com, there is a little box that says Wall Builders is celebrating 250 years of American freedom and independence. Click on that little box and it will take you to the landing page for 250 years of America. And on the landing page, there are several different little boxes you can click on. One of them is for events. It will let you know of some major events that are that are coming up, that are going on, that you can actually come and participate in. You can come here. My dad or I give speeches telling the stories about the birth of the nation, about the founding fathers, the faith connection in America. There's also a tab for resources that you can click on and it will take you to lots of different speeches and sermons and documents and proclamations from the founding era. And then there's also a little tab that will take you to the wall builder store with lots of resources, all the things that maybe a hat you want to wear, shirt to wear, or other wall builders products to read. This is the place to go to celebrate 250 years.
Original Intent Over Judge-Made Tests
SPEAKER_02So these guys are gonna speak to us tonight.
SPEAKER_03They're that they're they're gonna tell us what they actually said about these different areas of the Constitution so that we can follow Jefferson's suggestion there. And then Madison, of course, the father of the Constitution, we'll hear a lot from him tonight. He said, I entirely concur in the proper propriety of resorting to the sense in which the Constitution was accepted and ratified by the nation. So in other words, you're gonna figure out what it says. He says you go back to what these guys said when they adopted it, and then what happened in those individual states when they had their ratification debates. In that sense alone, it is the legitimate constitution. So you want the legitimate constitution, you go back to the beginning of what these guys did. If that be not the guide, so if you go the other direction, if that be not the guide in expounding it, there can be no security for consistent and stable constitution more than for a faithful exercise of its power. So what do you get? Instead of having a stable constitution and a clear understanding that stays true throughout time, and if you don't like it, you use Article V and you amend it. But instead of having that stable constitution, what do we get? A three-part test on this, a four-part test on this, total confusion about what is or is not constitutional. Madison said, come back to the original if you really want to know. He said, What a metamorphos would be produced in the code of law if all its ancient phraseology were to be taken in the modern sense. So when we think about phrases like general welfare, what did it mean back then? What did it mean in this room? Not what does it mean to us today, not what does it mean when uh a politician tells us what it means. What did it mean to these guys? We're gonna talk about that too. The first and governing this is James Wilson, by the way. Now, this guy, he was in the room both times. He signed both the Declaration and the Constitution. He actually went on to be a Supreme Court justice, one of the first guys George Washington nominated to serve on the Supreme Court. So he's actually an original Supreme Court justice. He said the first and governing maxim in the interpretation of a statute is to discover the meaning of those who made it. Well, who made the Constitution? The guys that were in this room, right? The ones that ratified it back home. Those are the ones we gotta, if you will, kind of crack open their heads, get inside their mind, figure out what they were thinking, what was the intent. The last guy I'll give you on this is Joseph Story, Supreme Court justice that wrote about 94% of the opinions when he's on the court. He's actually called the father of American jurisprudence. He said the first and fundamental rule in the interpretation of all documents is to construe them according to the sense of the terms of the intentions of the parties. These are the parties, folks. We're here, welcome to the party. We're here with the parties that actually gave us the documents, and we're gonna hear from these guys and find out the original intent, not judicial interpretation. So, number one, it's not exhausted. Number two, we're gonna use uh original intent, not judicial interpretation. Third thing in terms of our approach is we're gonna do something that we don't normally get to do with the Constitution. We're gonna take it as amended. Uh those of you that have studied it a lot, you probably had some of those frustrating days like I did. I I when I first tried to study the Constitution, I opened up my pocket constitution and I said, you know, I first thing I was curious about, I said, I want to know about this electoral college. I'm gonna I want to know where this school is in the Northeast that all candidates go to. I was hoping for a little laughter there. No laughter. Can we can we dub in some laughter there, camera guys? Okay. A lot of people really think that. They think the electoral college is some campus over, you know, out here in the northeast that all the candidates come to. No, it's it's the way we elect the president. So so I said, I want to figure out how this thing works. I I I was always confused by it. So open up Article 2. Start reading about the presidency. Three paragraphs in, guess what? This has been amended by the 12th Amendment. And what's your pocket constitution do? It just underlines what's been changed, but it doesn't tell you what's been changed. So you got to flip over to the 12th Amendment and try to look at both of them and figure out, okay, what actually changed, what does it mean? And then three paragraphs into the 12th Amendment, this has been amended by the 20th Amendment. So I got Article II open, I got the 12th Amendment open, I got the 20th open, and I'm having trouble holding on to my pocket constitution. Guess what? Article 2 is also amended by the 22nd and the 23rd and the 25th amendments.
SPEAKER_02So I got five amendments affecting Article II, and I'm supposed to I I just went crazy.
SPEAKER_03I am so thankful for my buddy Mike Holler. Mike put this thing together. He did meticulous work to put together this Constitution made easy, the tool we're gonna use tonight. And I am, I I know you're gonna, as the as the night goes on, you're gonna think this this green guy is really simple-minded. Because I am. I I I need things to be explained. Okay, so Mike really helped me with this. And he and he laid out the Constitution as amended. Well, what a novel concept. So the tool in your hands tonight, what you're gonna be able to do is flip that thing open, and on the left-hand side of the page, we get the original. Because I'm an originalist, I'm not for replacing that language, but we get the original on the left-hand side of the page, and then on the right-hand side of the page, we get the constitution as amended. So the blue is all the amendments incorporated into the original, and it's in modern language. So that's the fourth thing we get is some plain language that makes it easy for people that haven't made a big study out of this to actually go and read through the Constitution very quickly. Part of what I love about that Constitution made easy is you can actually sit down and read the blue part, the uh the plain language, in about 15 minutes. So people that have never been exposed before, you can hand that to them and say, hey, just sit down and read the Constitution. Just read through it real quick, and you'll find some things you never even knew were in there. You're gonna be able to clarify some things you may not have been aware of before. So that's our approach. That's how we're gonna do this. We got uh a lot to cover in a short period of time, and you'll find people say that uh uh David and I both we talk about uh uh 90 words a minute. We gust up to about 350. I'm gonna I'm gonna try not to gust on up to 350 too often with our in our echo chamber here. I'll do my best to keep the speed down, but we've got a lot of time together, and we're gonna cover as much as we possibly possibly can. So that's that's sort of our introduction to the process and and what we're gonna do, a little bit about our approach. We're gonna talk about the seeds that were planted here, what the the concepts were, because you know I find it interesting that if you just read the documents and you don't really go back to the philosophy that undergirds them, the philosophy that was put in place, you can get off track very quickly. So we'll be we'll be back to talk about the seeds of liberty when we return. To secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.

Plain Language Tools And Citizen Skills
SPEAKER_03Well, I don't know if you could tell there, David. I was a little excited to be in that cradle of liberty in the old room because you've recorded there several times as just something about being where it happened.
SPEAKER_00And it's you know, I just I always love looking back at George Washington's chair and that, you know, is it the rising sun or the setting sun on that chair? And I think, boy, you know, Franklin, that was that's such a cool story with that. But it it's cool to be in that room.
SPEAKER_03I love it. So one of the things we talked about a lot, and and we'll talk about a lot more throughout this course is original intent. Right. Now you wrote an entire book on this, a best-selling book on original intent, where you took all these documents in this room and and really shared with us what was inside the minds of our founding fathers. Why is it so important to get that original intent?
SPEAKER_00Because that's where you get the most effectiveness. It's really hard to use a screwdriver as a shovel because it was not designed for that. So you can work all day long with a screwdriver and knock it dig it something out. You have to know original intent, have to know how it's designed, it's like using the owner's manual. If you want the most out of your car, your TV, anything else, you can just. You know how we talked at the beginning about human nature and principles, and that's what the Constitution works, because it's based on certain principles. One of those principles is human nature, and absolutely can be. And we'll cover this in future lessons, but that's why we have checks and balances and separation of powers, and the founding fathers told us about human nature, and because of that, they put principles in there to keep people from taking and views in this. It won't stop it if if we don't apply those principles. Yeah. But they gave us some tools by which we can stop selling.
SPEAKER_03I like that analogy because now not just original intent, but original intended use. It's a good way to think of it.
SPEAKER_00It is, it is. And one of the things that that's kind of a good example that you talked about if we don't do that right then, you're talking about how we get off track, and you're exactly right. Here's a great example. Um, this is one of the best-selling books in American history. It's one of the McGuffey readers that came out in the 1830s and 40s and went through 120 million copies to this date. So, I mean, they have sold like crazy. So here is a fourth grade reader. And I I just open up here to lesson number nine Death at the toilet. Wait a minute. I'm not even I don't I have no idea. Why why would they use such crude bathroom humor back in that day? Because back in that day, toilet is where we get the word toiletries, which is like your shaving stuff and your hair stuff, and well, toilet was really your vanity table, and that's why we call it vanity. So death at the toilet is death at the vanity table. And it deals with a young girl who was really cocky and pride and arrogant about how beautiful she was, and it turned into her demise. Well, we look at death at the toilet and say, I can't believe that you're such crude humor. No, no, you have to go back to understand what they were trying to do. Now, once we understand that, the principle's the same the arrogance and and and the cockiness and the kind of stuff that they talk about with that girl, but it's not death at the toilet, it's death at the vanity table. Her vanity is what destroyed her. So that's the kind of stuff that still works and it does have an impact. And that's why you want to go back and know original intent. We'll just go back where we started at the beginning with John Jay. These are the six things that we want every single citizen to be able to do. When you read and study the Constitution, number one is read the Constitution. It doesn't take 20 minutes, it's an easy thing to do. Number two is study the Constitution. Once you've read it, you kind of get the overview, now go back and look at the things in it and start making the list and that's where we really are getting into the minds of the founders.
SPEAKER_03We're studying what those words actually mean. Right. Just reading them.
SPEAKER_00And as we go through these next lessons, these other lessons, we're going to be studying what that meant and what they and why they put that there, and why that clause is there, and what are they trying to do? So Is that one?
SPEAKER_03Well, you the the all all of these books are important, not just the words of the Constitution. But when you pull a book off the shelf that is someone that one of these guys in this picture that helped give us the document, it gives you a chance to really find out what they were thinking when they did it.
SPEAKER_00And it it helps set the tone of the times. If you understand, you know, people people accuse the pilgrims all the time of of of being so bloodthirsty because they had the death penalty, so they did. They had 15 crimes that had the death penalty. But let's set the tone of the time. When they came to America from Great Britain, the country they left had the death penalty for over 230 crimes. So they've taken it from 230 death penalty crimes down to 15. I don't think they're bloodthirsty.
SPEAKER_03So that puts it in context. Put it in context. If you just look at it by itself, you could get you get way off, but if you step back and see the big picture of the case.
SPEAKER_00And that's the second part. Third part is be able to teach it. Once you see what's in there, teach it, especially the rising generation. But in this culture, with our poor education. Teach all of us. Teach all of us. Yeah. I love there's a Bible verse in Song of Solomon 813 that says, your friends listen to your voice. So speak. Exactly. There in this day and time, with what we have as social media, there's nobody who doesn't have a platform. It's good to do that. There are people who will listen to you, there are people who will hear what you say on Facebook, doing it on Twitter, whatever you got, speak. Might be five people, might be five thousand people. You talk to your friends. Yeah. And that makes a difference. Then what you want to be able to do is know those constitutional rights. Now that you've read and studied and you started teaching them, you now recognize when somebody has crossed the line. Wait a minute, he can't do that. That's not constitutional. And then at that point you can defend those rights if they're coming after you, or if they come after somebody else, you can assert those rights. So you stand up and those are the six things that everybody needs to be able to do with the Constitution.
SPEAKER_03So you can't have that perception. You won't know that those rights have been violated if you haven't done these precepts. You gotta study them and know them.
SPEAKER_00See, I I mean you you talked in there about how your mom, when they trained her as a bank teller, they didn't show her counterfeit stuff. They just let her handle the real stuff so much that she instantly recognizes.

The Constitution Is Not Intimidating
SPEAKER_00And we did the same thing in World War II. If you wanted to be able to recognize the enemy, you studied those enemy identification trucks. So you studied all the enemy planes, all the enemy tanks. So when you saw it, you're, ah, that's the enemy. Now we can defend and assert ourselves. We're going on offense. Yeah. You want to make sure you didn't get one of the Allied tanks, you know, you didn't want one of the British tanks. So you you studied, and once you studied, you could recognize when there was something wrong. Yeah. And that's what it takes.
SPEAKER_03Well, as we study, you know, sometimes people today, I mean, if we're not doing a good job of this in our schools, then that means we need more tools. We've got to have the tools to be able to study.
SPEAKER_00And by the way, just so nobody gets intimidated over. This thing. Studying the Constitution and understanding it is not a hard deal. This notion that we get from law school is that only the nine people in the Supreme Court really know what the Constitution is. I have been in several legislatures where that I have and it it just tears me up. Legislators say, I look, let's just go ahead and pass it and the Supreme Court will tell us whether it's constitutional or not. No. You took an oath to uphold it, and you don't have to be a brainchild to do this. And a great example of that is this little book right here. This is a book, an elementary book back in 1828. And elementary kids studied this kind.
SPEAKER_03I mean, so they're teach they they're teaching the Constitution to elementary kids.
SPEAKER_00The questions they asked 1828. Some of the elementary questions.
SPEAKER_03Okay, so these are these are now you're an attorney. These are yeah. You were a legislator. Now what if I can't answer it? This is gonna be bad, which I'm probably not gonna be able to. So these are elementary school kids, and they're asking them, can the Congress punish piracy? That is robbery committed at sea? Because we have some of that today. So that's actually a good question for today. You know, you got small economies, that whole movie about uh the the captain.
SPEAKER_00So can we in America do anything to punish other nations under our Constitution?
SPEAKER_03How many people I don't know the answer to that question off the top of my head. So what does the elementary catechism say? Yes. And all other crimes committed there, it can also punish offenses against the laws of nations. So there's another question, and in fact, that's the next question. What do you mean by the law of nations? This is a great so this is done in a catechism way where you ask one question, it raises the next question.
SPEAKER_00That's right. And that's elementary kids. And I bet if you sit down in a law school and take 30-year law students that are about to take their bar exam and run those questions through, they won't have so it talks about mark and reprisal, all of these things. Nobody knows what that is anymore. And that actually is a very current thing that still still goes on because it deals with restitutions, a form of restitution. So there's a lot in there that's applicable, so do not get intimidated saying, you know, I am a I'm not that smart. I don't you don't have to be smart. Founding fathers, remember these were average guys. They were farmers, they were shipbuilders, they were, you know, one of these guys was was um he he was a shoe shine guy. He made leather shoes and kept shoes and they're they're common folks, and they did this for the common, average, everyday.
SPEAKER_03So if they can do it, we can do it too. They can do it they're and if kids of yesterday in 1825, little kids could do it. So it was intended as an elementary catechism, but we need it for all of us today. Absolutely. Well, that's the whole idea of Constitutional Live. So when we come back, we're gonna actually talk about the seeds of liberty. We're gonna dive into some of these materials and talk about what was planted to give us such a successful formula here on Constitutional Live with David Barton and Rick Green.
Coach Signups And Institute Scholarships
SPEAKER_03All right, folks, we're out of time. That was the Constitutional Live partial. That was not the whole course, that was just week one. Uh, there's a whole lot more there. We dive into a lot of great uh you know topics with with with regard to the Constitution. We walk through the entire uh all seven articles, all twenty-seven amendments, and we talk about what you can do to help revive the Constitution.
