America's Constitutional Crisis: A Lesson From Medieval English History

from FRDH Podcast with Michael Goldfarb · host FRDH Podcast with Michael Goldfarb

America is in the midst of a constitutional crisis with a President who clearly wants to be king no matter what the Constitution says and ironically the constitution says nothing about what to do in this kind of crisis. Dr. Helen Castor, medieval historian, sees in America's current situation echoes of a constitutional crisis six hundred years ago in England when King Richard the Second put himself above the law and defied anyone to do anything about it. Give us 44:43 to explain it to you.
