Michael_Badnarik_Good_To_Be_King.pdf

This book provides readers with the fundamentals of the Constitution by analyzing the legitimate basis for government, and the circumstances that lead to its ratification. Mr. Badnarik starts with fundamentals, identifying the difference between rights and privileges. He discusses the critical- and needed- distinction between republican and democratic systems of government, arguing that freedom can survive in America only if we return to our republican roots. He also illustrates the forgotten tenets of federalism and states' rights, arguing that federal usurpation of state power has accelerated the loss of our freedoms. The author then provides a detailed explication of the true meaning of major constitutional provisions and amendments.He does an excellent job of demystifying our founding document, demonstrating that ordinary Americans can and should understand the Constitution and how it applies to their lives.

The Constitution has become an old piece of paper. Michael brings it back to life.
Michael, you cleared the fog of war between truth and fiction, fact and assumption. you
clarified the principles that tie it all together. You gave me the tools to become a more
effective defender of freedom.
I took your class in Harrisburg PA back in March of this year and I would say it is worth
more than I paid for it! By far the most educational and inspirational class on government I
have ever taken!
