Well, there's a description within the link; but, essentially, Mr. Badnarik covers superficially the Constitution (and goes a bit further toward the latter hours), explaining how the government has gone the beyond the pales of constitutionality.

I know it sounds trite, and perhaps a superficial overview isn't enticing, but it's nonetheless a good chunk of knowledge to have.

Best viewed with a copy of the Constitution next to you.

If you don't know the difference between a right and a privilege, this is a must see! If you think you know the difference, then answer this question: Is the US a democracy? For the answer (surprisingly), watch this.

Let me guess, he claims it's not a democracy?

Well, a democracy isn't the type of government we're supposed to have, but rather a republic.

You didn't answer my question nor the question posed in the quote. What is it, not what is it supposed to be.

yeah, I so reckon nation states should be governed by centuries old documents, who were written by people with the ability to see the future!

The founders of the U.S. (and this a fact) did not intend the United States of be a democracy (and I can see why--and that's not because of these videos). What they created was a republic. What the man argues is that we're beginning (or have been) turning into a democracy.

I fucking hate it when libertarian arseclowns play this card. Heads up champ: a republic is one of the many forms of democracy.

No, we have a representational democracy, which is a form of republicanism.
