Show: The History AI Podcast

Hosts: Chuck & Marco

Why listen: A fast and deeply clear tour of the seven core principles that make the U.S. Constitution actually work—designed as evergreen listening for class, study, or curiosity.

What’s inside

  • Popular Sovereignty: Why people are the boss (Locke, consent, Article V, peaceful transfers).
  • Individual Rights: Natural rights first; how the Bill of Rights and courts fence in government power.
  • Separation of Powers: Three branches by design—specialized roles to protect liberty.
  • Checks & Balances: Vetoes, confirmations, judicial review, the purse, impeachment—process that builds legitimacy.
  • Limited Government: Enumerated powers, the Ninth and Tenth Amendments, and rule-of-law guardrails.
  • Republicanism: We choose representatives to think, deliberate, and answer to us on a clock.
  • Federalism: One nation, many laboratories—strong center with vital states; how Tenth Amendment fights led to nullification debates and foreshadowed the Civil War.
