The Constitution Study
Weekdays 4 PM ET
The American people, through ignorance and apathy, have lost their love for their rights and liberties. Our rights are trampled daily by governments, universities, the media, and businesses both large and small. Yet the vast majority of Americans not only bow to the pressure to relinquish their rights, they frequently ask for them to be taken. What are we to do?
Since 2014 Paul Engel has been helping everyday Americans read and study the Constitution of their country and teaching the rising generation to be free. In this program, Paul uses news and current events as a springboard to help explain the Constitution and encourage others to stand up for their rights, their children’s rights, and those of the nation.
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. Author and speaker, Paul Engel has spent more than 20 years studying and teaching about both the Bible and the U.S. Constitution. That experience helps Paul explain difficult concepts in a way most people can understand. As one manager described, “Paul can take the most complex idea and explain it in a way my grandmother can understand.”

Millions still entrust officials with their lives and livelihoods, expecting relief. From regulatory overreach to unrestrained bureaucracy, I reveal the serious hidden dangers of centralized power.

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Explore the erosion of American essential freedoms in exchange for promised security, from Franklin’s warning to post-9/11 measures like the TSA and Patriot Act.

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – I explore the shocking case in Wisconsin where a county judge faces FBI arrest for obstructing justice by aiding a federal felon’s escape from her own courthouse. I question what drives this bizarre behavior and reflect on the power of a verbal “whooping” in today’s society. This tale highlights legal chaos and community disbelief. I write with candid honesty daily.
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Checks and balances rely on friction among branches of government. From judicial pushback to executive oversight, constitutional accountability demands robust challenges. When legislatures, executives, and courts clash, we witness governance principles in action. Citizens must scrutinize these confrontations to ensure each branch upholds the rule of law and…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – What happens when We the People stop thinking about the actions of government being in our name? What happens when our representatives seem more interested in protecting illegal aliens than the rights of the American people? What happens when government agencies that were illegally created and therefore void are used to control us?
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Courts are increasingly seen as ruling bodies, but that perception clashes with their true constitutional role.

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – When the Supreme Court “ordered” the Trump Administration to stop deporting illegal aliens from Tren de Aragua, I thought they made a mistake. When I read Justice Alito’s dissent, I understood just how big a mistake they had made. You see, it wasn’t just about deportations; it was the fact that seven of the nine justices ignored the law and their own rules to…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – We all know that the federal government is made up of three branches. However, contrary to what you may have been taught, those branches are not equal. So, in the head-to-head fight between the executive and judicial branches, constitutionally, who is stronger? What happens when they oppose the elected Executive of the United States?
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Government exists to secure rights through the governed’s consent. When it overreaches, passive silence becomes complicity. This exploration examines power’s limits, urging every citizen to actively engage when freedoms are threatened. It challenges complacency and reminds us that inaction equates to approval, emphasizing the vital role of collective civic responsibility.
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – American democracy thrives on healthy conflict. The clash between three branches and three levels of government prevents overreach and preserves liberty. By encouraging checks and balances and federalism’s friction, power remains constrained within enumerated limits.

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Food, mortgage, and insurance are just a few of the priorities we’ll find in most people’s checkbooks. But what we see when we examine the national “checkbook” is something very different. As the saying goes, ‘If you want to know what is important to someone, look at their checkbook.’ If you want to understand why people do things, it helps to take the time to…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – At dawn on April 19, 1775, Seventy-seven colonial minute men confronted British redcoats on Lexington Green, igniting a struggle that reshaped history. Today, we reflect on those patriots’ courage and question whether our pursuit of security still honors the founding commitment to freedom. Will we protect our rights or trade them away for fleeting peace and forever preserve their legacy?
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Governments derive their authority from the consent of the governed. When they exceed their delegated powers, citizens must resist. John Jay urged diligent study of the U.S. Constitution to understand and defend rights. By educating ourselves, teaching future generations, fostering civic responsibility, we empower collective action against unlawful government overreach.
