Bill of Rights: Lesson 2

In this episode we talk about the first amendment with an emphasis on religious and speech freedom. We think about what actually undergirds these ideas. We also talk about the importance of citizens engaging in their government, natural rights, the establishment clause, the idea that government is not meant to be godless and some thoughts on the natural right to thought and free speech to express those thougts.
