On Tuesday’s episode of “The Andrew Klavan Show,” Klavan gives a brief history of the Constitution and why it contains so much wisdom about human nature. Video and partial transcript below:
It’s interesting to remember, for instance, that the Constitution was the Founders’ attempt to replace the Articles of Confederation, the 1781 document that reflected the determination of the original states to preserve their sovereignty and independence. The problem was [that] the Articles of Confederation — the “AOC,” as it was called before that became an insulting term for a bobble-headed dingbat — did not give Congress enough power to hold the states together as a single nation.
