Path to Liberty Tenth Amendment Center

Living under the largest government in the history of the planet, it’s not always easy to see the light at the end of the tunnel, even in this season of thanks - and giving. But thanks to the timeless wisdom and advice from the Founders and Old Revolutionaries - we can stay on the path to liberty.

While most people associate support for sound money with founders like Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, in 1786 Thomas Paine issued a blistering attack on fiat money, writing that the “evils of paper money have no end.”

We hear them every single day - the leading reasons and excuses to not use nullification. They’re all based on myths.

Supporters of the monster state want you to believe that the general Welfare clause in the Constitution gives the federal government the power to do pretty much anything and everything. And since the federal courts have adopted the Hamiltonian view over the Madisonian one, that’s pretty much how it has played out in practice.

Continuing his warnings about the power of the federal judiciary, Brutus not only opposes appellate jurisdiction as one of the “most objectionable parts” of the Constitution, but raises additional concerns that are extremely similar to what ended up in the 5th and 6th Amendments.

To the founders and old revolutionaries, resistance to attacks on liberty was an essential part of the system, and essential for the maintenance of freedom. But resisting government usurpations isn’t supposed to be the last thing a people do - it should be “instantaneous.”
