Understanding The Founders Constitution #24

With Frank Kuchar

Program Description:  This broadcast is the second in the series on what kind of a government best lends itself to liberty and as such was created by our Constitution.  We pick up the study by referencing Montesquieu's maxium that when a republic allows itself to be corrupted by the corruption of its principles, unless it returns to them, nothing that the government attempts will reverse the slide into tyranny but only make things worse.  From there we begin an examination of Madison's expounding of this thought in the Federalist Papers.
