Does the PRO Act do what it claims, protect the right to organize, or is it another attempt to socialize labor? Once again, Congress is ignoring the Constitution and claiming the power to not only regulate employment, but to tell people whether or not they can work for themselves. Based on California’s AB5, the PRO Act would further destroy small businesses and independent workers. In the House, it’s called it the “ Protecting the Right to Organize Act ”. What it should be ca

What we’ve learned, or in some cases had confirmed, by the Durham Report should concern all of us. According to the report, when the FBI initiated the investigation into Donald Trump and his Presidential campaign, they had no probable cause that the campaign had been in contact with Russian government officials. Furthermore, the FBI ignored evidence of the innocence of those accused. After almost seven years of costly and disruptive investigations we should be asking the ques

Author: Paul Garner How can children grow up to love liberty if all they witness is authoritarianism and provision? “ Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”― Ronald Rea

Thomas Paine said in The American Crisis, “What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly.” The current debt crisis did not suddenly appear. It comes from decades of fiscal mismanagement and malfeasance. Most of the constitutional crisis that the news has been reporting is nothing but hype. When I turned 16, I wanted a car, just like pretty much every other American teenage boy. When I asked my father for financial help getting my first car, he told me that if I didn’t get t

Is it constitutional for members of the House to vote by proxy? What is the Quorum Clause and why is it important in this case? Will this be a flash in the pan or an earth shattering change to the legislative process? During the COVID-19 scamdemic, Nancy Pelosi once again ignored the Constitution and implemented by rule something called “proxy voting”.

If the mission of the FDA is to protect the public health by ensuring the safety and effectiveness of drugs and medical products, has it done a good job? With all shortcuts and criminal violations the FDA took with the COVID “vaccines”, it is the first time they’ve done this, right? Will the lawsuit filed by the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine finally expose the criminal enterprise known as the Food and Drug Administration? With its failure to properly test the so-called CO

Only a few days ago a 28-year-old woman identified by police as Audrey Hale entered a Nashville, Tennessee Presbyterian school, where she herself was once a student, and shot and killed six people including three 9-year-olds and three adults. This incident, of course, ignited the familiar cycle of condolences, recriminations and blame shifting, including a few screechy choruses from the gun-control choir who seem ever ready to exploit human suffering and tragedy as an opportu

What is a sovereign citizen and what is the sovereign citizen movement? Is the United States a corporation? If you become a “sovereign citizen”, what happens to your U.S citizenship? Over the past few weeks, I’ve been asked several questions about the “Sovereign Citizen Movement”. What is a “sovereign citizen” or a “national citizen”? What do those in the “Sovereign Citizen Movement” believe, what is their belief based on, and does the evidence support their assumptions? What

Author: Mike Sonneveldt ***EDIT*** UPDATE: Supposedly, there may be a deal, but the information is confusing at this moment as this goes out.Zerohedge reports some new concessions made by the McCarthy camp to those holding out. As this story changes and morphs, we'll do our best to keep up. The changes: A one-member “motion to vacate”: The GOP leader appears to have finally acquiesced to a demand to lower the threshold needed to force a vote ousting a speaker to just one mem

Do you know the difference between a president and a king? In Federalist Paper #69, Alexander Hamilton discussed the difference between the two, and why the convention chose a President. How would you describe the men who have recently occupied the Oval Office? Do they look more like presidents or kings? When the Framers were drafting the Constitution, they had several examples both for how to create laws and how to execute them. Would the President be an executive or a king?

What is the role of Congress in counting the votes of the Presidential Electors? Is it treason for Congress to fail to investigate allegations of fraud in a presidential election? Does the Supreme Court have the legal authority to do anything about it? We all indulge in wishful thinking from time to time. What would happen if that wishful thinking made it all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States? That may be the case with Brunson v. Adams, et al. Mr. Brunson has

What is a Central Bank Digital Currency and how would they work? How would a CBDC be different that Bitcoin, Etherium, or other cryptocurrencies? Would an American CBDC been an economic boom, or a liberty bust? In every dystopian novel or movie I can think of, there is either an oppressive government or a government not functioning at all. As we travel this road of life, we should be asking ourselves if any action we take will lead to more liberty or more control? Take for ex

How does same-sex marriage impact your marriage? By morphing acceptance into extortion. Can government force private agencies they work with to promote a government message? Do the recent orders from the District Court in the case New Hope v. Poole show a restoration of religious liberty in America? I hear this question all the time: “How does homosexual marriage impact your marriage?” This platitude has a small grain of truth, but it only works if you ignore the rest of real

How much of your money does the federal government spend on things not authorized by the Constitution. Beyond the money, what are the other costs of the fact most Americans don’t know what the Constitution actually says. How would your life be different if you spent some time learning more about the supreme law of the land? Here at the Constitution Study, we spend a lot of time discussing the legal and societal cost of ignoring the Constitution. Have you ever considered the f

Does the Respect for Marriage defend marriage or is it an attempt to change it? Does Congress have the constitutional authority to define marriage? What can We the People and the states do in the face of this legislation? There is legislation working its way through Congress called the Respect for Marriage Act. Does this act truly respect marriage? Let’s face it, the definition of marriage has been changing for centuries. Marriages used to include polygamy and other relations

NASHVILLE, TN – October 31, 2022 [The Constitution Study] — The Constitution Study is proud to announce the release of draft legislation designed to help states protect our children from medical experimentation, especially when promoted by the federal bureaucracy.

Can Freedom of Speech be used to suppress speech? Do the owners of corporations have the legal right to control what content is on the platforms they own?

You may have heard about Texas bill H.B. 20, an attempt by the government of Texas to prevent censorship by social media companies. You might also have heard about the case making its way throu

“Operation Crossfire Hurricane” seems to be the gift that keeps on giving. Can someone sue the federal government for lying to a court or violating the Constitution? Can the federal government use the theory of “sovereign immunity” to prevent such a suit? I’m sure you’ve heard of “Operation Crossfire Hurricane”, sometimes called “Russia-gate”. Carter Page was caught up in this investigation and sued the Department of Justice for lying to the FISA court in order to acquire war
