John Marshall: The Chief Justice Who Saved the Nation

Award-winning author Harlow Giles Unger reveals how John Marshall emerged from the Revolutionary War’s bloodiest battlefields to become one of the nation’s most important Founding Fathers. As the longest-serving Chief Justice in American history, Marshall transformed the Supreme Court from an irrelevant appeals court into the powerful and controversial branch of government that Americans today either revere or criticize.

    All day long he craves for more, but the righteous give without sparing.

    21:00-25:00 "there aren't any Constitutional rights! The Constitution doesn't even mention the people." "You in the military... You don't work for the American people... You work for the Constitution." [JADE Helm, NDAA, Patriot Act, H.W.'s CIA operated Crack Epidemic, etc.] [ as FOP militarized police, toward imperial anarchy, the cops swear the same oath, do you comprehend?)

    _"This guy has some weird ideas. He says the Constitution is just a scheme for governance and not a thing that creates individual rights. He's just plain old wrong....We are all familiar with the creation of individual rights by express prohibition on government action--"congress shall make no law abridging......"_ You're wrong. Rights can't be created. Thousands of years ago there was no constitution so was it okay to just butcher families? No It was a terrible crime that caused horrific suffering. Their happiness & suffering was equally as important as your own. Because ur happiness is very important u r the sovereign & rights arise automatically from this sovereignty. Thus, those families had the right to live before any law or constitution was created. U seem to think that they only acquired a right to live, when the law banned the government from infringing with people's right to be alive. Thus the constitution doesn't bestow the right to speak freely, it just stops the government from interfering with the right to speak freely that the People have always had. The Chinese government stop their Citizens speaking freely (eg talking about how much wealth the Chinese ruling elite have) but the Chinese People still retain the right to speak freely because it is an inalienable right. It cannot be taken away for as long as their happiness is as important as our own. Thus Unger is correct to say the constitution doesn't grant the people rights - it's a blueprint for the government.

    You're being very rude. I spent a long time writing for u a great proof that ur ideas are wrong. And instead of saying thank you, you are condescending and lie that it's irrelevant before stating that I am right and u r wrong. However, u r too rude to admit that u r wrong. Ur basically behaving like a spoilt brat & u shud be ashamed of urself. "Then came John Locke. John Locke starts with the premise that freedom is the default and that we contract together to limit one another's freedom in an effort to protect us all from intrusions on our rights." So u seem to be completely agreeing that I'm right then. But ur too mentally deficient to admit it. So u seem to accept Lockes right. 1) first of all there are free people. 2) They have rights. 3) The rights are violated. 4) The people contract together in an effort to protect themselves from those violations. This is ur position. Therefore u accept that I am correct. The constitution does not create rights. You also accept that u were wrong previously in saying that "Constitution is thing that creates individual rights." Sadly u r too mentally deficient to admit it. This is because u embrace assholeship due to ur heartfelt hatred of ur constitution (which says assholery is BS).
