How the Framers Viewed the Bill of Rights and What It Means for Our Rights Today
from Shades of Jade Podcast · host Sam Wooldrik
In this episode, I sit down with author Rick Lynch to dive into the surprising truths behind the U.S. Constitution, as explored in his book, Money and Liberty: How the Framers' Obsession with Protecting Your Money Shaped the Constitution. Rick challenges conventional narratives, revealing how the Constitution was crafted to crush America's first welfare program—the paper money crisis of the 1780s. He explains how this crisis, driven by farmers and state legislatures issuing near-worthless paper currency, was the primary catalyst for the 1787 Constitutional Convention, a fact often overlooked in modern history.Rick's book is available for purchase at several places (Amazon, Barnes & Noble) but if you'd like to learn more, visit: https://rick-lynch.com/ To find all my deals, visit: https://mydeals.page/7fu7 Check out Federalist No. 10 here: https://guides.loc.gov/federalist-papers/text-1-10#s-lg-box-wrapper-25493273
