This episode focuses on grievances 11, 12, 14, 15, and 25, illustrating how military force was used to intimidate, control, and punish the colonists. We examine the dangers of standing armies in peacetime, the subordination of civilian authority, the quartering of troops, and the use of foreign mercenaries. These grievances remind us why civilian control of the military and protections for individual rights are cornerstones of American democracy.
Special Guest Panelists: A community member guest panelist, and fabulous college students from Arizona including League members GraceMarie Theesfeld and Emra Muslim, along with Mikah Dyer
