Thanks.
Have you ever considered the possibility that Planned Obsolescence is more important than the Constitution.
Our politicians are technological morons who cannot figure out how to run a technological society. How much CO2 is the result of unnecessary manufacturing due to planned obsolescence?
Thanks for your good work. I love America and I wish everyone could see this, if only once.
From the standpoint of the American colonies during the time of the Declaration of Independence and the war with England, the movement towards independence would have been considered politically progressive. Every one of the political and social proposals were radically progressive and by today's standards conservatives would decry them as "woke".
My state spent all it's money on a gigantic hovercraft that nobody can use. Ive had about enough with federalist philosophy. It sounds like a daydream.
Thank you, what great information & refresher
I agree with most comments here.
I was in school when we recited this Pledge of Allegiance, every single morning before class. Also, the worst thing that could happen was either a note home from your teacher, or a call to your parents. What happened???
Do you have a talk on the Supreme Court by another lecturer?
In other word the cancer of the US xountry is the congress, and ppl is distracted blaming te clown.
Gee, dont ya wish it still worked out the way our Founding Fathers framed it ? People dont know for the mist part how its suppised to work, dont care etc, get too much for free(nothin free) but they dont know that. Its eroded
Love this long form lesson!
We are controlled by laws of nature.
There is a general force of nature, and two opposite forcesābestowal and receptionāextend from it.
We exist between these forces, and both of these qualities affect us.
Then, the question arises: How do we develop under the influence of these forces? Where do we act? Where are we free? How do we accumulate and correlate these two forces within ourselves? How can we build ourselves out of them?
These are the questions that the wisdom of Kabbalah engages in: how we receive these two forces in an optimal balance, and with their help, shape ourselves so as to resemble the very laws of nature, to arise and reach equivalence of form with the force of bestowal in nature. These very laws gave us the opportunity to control the pace of our progress in accepting them upon ourselves.
That is the point of our freewill.
How could we act if we do not have freewill? Who would we be? Would we just be like robots, always under control?
Until now, we have always been under control. What does it mean?
Nature as if injects a drop of egoismāthe desire to enjoy at othersā expenseāinto us, and then it does so a little more, and a little more again, and we then get the impetus to move toward all kinds of egoistic goals. The more our egoism inflates, the more we become willing to move to increasingly gain at the expense of others. Nature constantly squeezes the syringe into us until it eventually infuses us with the full amount of egoism.
Our era is characterized by the syringe of egoism having become completely injected into us, with no more egoism left to inject. That is why we have nowhere left to run.
Where do we head from here? What do we do?
Moreover, egoism has become global and integral. In the beginning, we felt good because we reached egoistic global connections in the world and thought that everything would be fine. However, when such connections started depending on everyone, we turned out to be natureās opposite.
At this juncture, we find ourselves with a major dilemma, and we need to work out what we do about it. Where our fully-inflated egoism coupled with our tightening global connections brings us to increasing problems around the world, today we require a new form of connection-enriching education that would have the ability to guide us on how to change our egoistic connections to altruistic ones. That is the key to a shift to a harmonious and peaceful world.

As a foreigner, I love watching this video because it shows the great idea the US is based on and what we should all aspire to have also overseas. So sad to see the country being brought to hell, by both the citizens and those who should be serving it…
Bogus content from politicians IMPERSONATING an educational institution. Please call yourselves what you are, political hacks trying to push your opinionated beliefs on people as though they are historical facts.
Completely skipped over the slave trade clause in section 9
Trump and anyone who stands with him are enemies of the constitution. Trump tried to destroy our constitutional electoral process right before our eyes on January 6, 2021. He plotted to seize voting machines, tried to coerce state officials into overturning the certified result in their states to fraudulent declare him the winner, tried to pressure Mike Pence into throwing out valid electoral votes from battleground states so fraudulent ones could be substituted, and when all that failed he assembled a mob of his supporters at the moment Congress meeting in joint session to certify our constitutional electoral process and sent them to the Capitol building to stop it. Donald Trump is the enemy of our constitutional republic, and so is anyone who stands with him. They must be stopped.
PragerU is nothing but a very lame propaganda machine aimed at the gullible under-educated American public.
The only thing you will ever learn from these people is how far they will go to mislead and misinform you.
They escaped the tyranny of King George an immediately instituted slavery in their constitution. š
Is the idea of separation of church and state anywhere in the constitution?
I wish the government actually functioned this way.
The founding fathers just casually making the most researched and well balanced government system ever. Surely they didn't expect this country to be the most powerful in all of history.
31:15 I need that on a shirt.
Oh my gosh. There was global warming as far back as 1776? (7:09) It's worse than I thought!
It should be made clear that the South, the slave owners, were the Democratic party. The KKK were Democrats. The Republican party was in the North fighting for freedom for the slaves. Abraham Lincoln was a Republican.
This shit is dangerous, don't let your kids near any of it
Our Constitution has become a rag. A rag thatās not even fit to wash a window with. Why? Because āWe the Peopleā have lost sight. It totally disgusts me how Americans think nowadays with their constant excuses on our state of affairs. Americans literally think everything is our governmentās fault when in reality itās āWe the Peopleāsā fault. I feel like I wasted 18 years of my entire life in defense of my country. I only hope Iāll be around to sayā¦ āI told ya so.ā
Anyone who believes/states that slavery had no role in shaping the Constitution is ignoring the reality of the time.
A thoroughly sanitized view of the Constitution, totally divorced from the history. If you want a more accurate depiction of the period, Read "Founding Brothers" by Joseph Ellis.
It was my understanding that the Constructional Convention was totally secret led by George Washington.
It ABSOLUTELY ASTOUNDS me that even a University and so-called educated people keep referring to āEnglish coloniesā and the āKing of Englandā.
For goodness sake will Americans get it through their block heads that āEnglandā has not been a sovereign state for more than 300 years, almost a century before US independence.
The Declaration of Independence even states āthe current King of Great Britainā.
There has been no sovereign state called England or anyone called King of England since 1707!!
This is not rocket science. Itās almost belligerent that Americans continue to peddle this rubbish.
They could not have imagined the Christian taking control pretending to be 2 political parties and then blocking the chance of 3rd or 4th parties…making it difficult for outsiders to change things…
Its TREASONOUS what the CHRISTIANS in AND WITH the DEMOCRATS and the REPUBLICANS gave been able to do.
WE THE PEOPLE ARE NOT IN CHARGE AT ALL.
ITS TIME FOR BIG CHANGES ā¼ā¼ā¼
The supreme law of the land is the U.S CONSTITUTION…ITS SUPREME.. STATES NEED TO RE READ IT AND THROW FALSE LAWS.. LIKE LETTING THE DMV KNOW YOUR POLITICAL PARTY.. WTF! NO NO NO.ā¼ā¼ā¼ WE HAVE A .. ā¤RIGHT TO PRIVACY ā¤
Representation in a republic may or may not be freely elected by the general citizenry. In many historical republics, representation has been based on personal status and the role of elections has been limited. This remains true today; among theĀ 159Ā states that use the word "republic" in their official names as of 2017, and other states formally constituted as republics, are states that narrowly constrain both the right of representation and the process of election.
The term developed its modern meaning in reference to the constitution of the ancientĀ Roman Republic, lasting from theĀ overthrow of the kingsĀ in 509Ā BCĀ to the establishment of theĀ EmpireĀ in 27 BC. ThisĀ constitutionĀ was characterized by aĀ SenateĀ composed of wealthyĀ aristocratsĀ wielding significant influence; several popularĀ assembliesĀ of all free citizens, possessing the power to elect magistrates and pass laws; and aĀ series of magistraciesĀ with varying types of civil and political authority.
Or to the people.. the state government has taken away the people's powers. It's time to include the people more. ā¤ā¤ā¤ā¤
