The Constitution Study
America Out Loud Network © – The goal of this program is to help everyday people defend their rights by reading, studying, and understanding the supreme law of the land, the Constitution of the United States of America.
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – We often talk about our need to learn the Constitution to help our state governments fulfill their duties to protect our rights, even from federal infringement. When the states remember that they are the creators of the federal government, not its vassal, then we can restore the power balance the Framers of the Constitution envisioned…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Americans are losing trust in the very foundations that hold the nation together—freedom, justice, and unity. As confidence in elections, media, and institutions fades, the branch of trust weakens beneath us. When it finally breaks, the fall will be ours, unless we remember what truly binds the United States as one…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – While the American people would appear to want to sit back and let someone spoon-feed them “the truth,” that is a guaranteed way to be fed falsehoods. If we are to know the truth, we must find it for ourselves. If you find the idea of searching for truth too much of an inconvenience, it tells me you are willing to sell your freedom for comfort, just as…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – In that Congress, the parties like to blame each other, either for the spending or the tax cuts. But our deficits have been a bipartisan problem for decades. And as many of the American people who complain about the spending and deficits, we seem to forget that it is We the People who not only place those members of Congress, but we…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – The Republic faces many problems, but the real question is whether we’re using the right tools to fix them. The Constitution offers powerful means for both states and citizens to restore balance, yet too often we strike at problems with the wrong approach. It’s time to choose our tools wisely and repair the Republic…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Many Americans follow leaders without truly examining their actions or integrity. With civic education in decline and myths about the Constitution spreading, the nation drifts further from its founding principles. Like the blind leading the blind, citizens and officials alike stumble together, forgetting the oaths and truths that once defined the land of the free…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Debate grows over whether America needs another Bill of Rights. Some claim the Constitution no longer protects our freedoms, while others argue enforcement—not expansion—is the answer. From a Washington State classroom to North Carolina’s Parents’ Bill of Rights, the question remains: do we strengthen our rights with new laws or uphold the ones we already have…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Sadly, it seems that public education is more about learning what to think rather than how to think. Based on many of the discussions I’ve had across the country, critical thinking seems to be a skill many Americans have lost. I believe G.K. Chesterton once described our situation perfectly: “When men choose not to believe in God, they do not thereafter…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Labels shape how we see others, but when they harden into collectivism, individuality and freedom suffer. This piece explores how stereotypes and group identities can quietly erode personal liberty in American life, urging readers to look inward and recognize how easily collective thinking replaces independent thought and authentic self-expression…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Sure, the federal government can use some disinfecting, but so can our state governments. A U.S. Senate committee hearing has exposed the fact that the Transportation Security Administration has been spying on Americans, often for little more than exercising their First Amendment right to free association or their Fifth Amendment right of due process…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Many Americans believe the federal government holds powers it simply does not have. From so-called shutdowns to unconstitutional vaccine laws, Washington continues to overstep its limits. Despite public trust, these actions reveal how far government authority strays from the Constitution, raising urgent questions about freedom, responsibility, and the true scope of federal power…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Perhaps the answer isn’t that the schools aren’t performing, but that their goals have changed. Perhaps the goal of public education is not to lift children up to a basic level of citizenship, but to “educate” them down to the lowest common denominator. Perhaps that explains why children who can recite the latest TikTok craze cannot read about it on X…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Legal trouble looms large as states push back against federal demands for voter data, sparking constitutional battles. Questions swirl around James Comey’s indictment, Congress’s authority, and FBI actions tied to January 6th. Meanwhile, mayors challenge ICE operations, testing limits of power. In a nation full of attorneys, clashes over law and politics seem unavoidable…

Grown adults, childish anger: America unhinged
Cultural Wars, Faith, Law and Legal, Political
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Across America, adults act like spoiled children when they don’t get their way—throwing tantrums, lashing out, and turning to violence. From shootings and threats to political retaliation, reason gives way to immaturity. When anger replaces civility, society mirrors a playground fight instead of a democracy built on debate, respect, and accountability…
