The American View

09/11/2026

We often teach the Constitution as settled doctrine-but the truth is far more dynamic. In 1787, Federalists and Anti-Federalists clashed over a fundamental question: Would federal power act directly on individual citizens, or would states remain sovereign barriers to centralized control?

The Federalists (Hamilton, Madison, Jay) argued a strong national government was necessary. The Anti-Federalists (Brutus, Patrick Henry, others) warned it would swallow individual liberty and state authority.

They were so divided that ratification nearly failed. New York, Virginia, and Massachusetts approved by razor-thin margins-only because the Federalists promised a Bill of Rights. In 1791, that promise became law: ten amendments that declared what the federal government could NOT do.

This wasn't abstract philosophy. It was a structural battle that shaped every protection your students and families inherit today. Citizen vigilance-not government goodwill-secured those liberties.

When we teach this history accurately, we equip the next generation to understand why constitutional limits matter and why their voice in defending them does too.

We all need encouragement and perspective sometimes. With it being election season, the division and chaos can be overwhelming, and it’s important to keep a healthy perspective of why we must stay involved!

The Federalist and Anti-Federalist debate was one of the most important political conflicts in early American history.

After the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation became increasingly apparent, Americans faced a fundamental question: should the United States create a stronger national government, or should political power remain primarily with the states?

We designed this conversation to show you exactly what the Constitution reserves to you and your state-and where Washington has crossed the line. The Tenth Amendment isn't abstract; it's the foundation of federalism and your family's freedom. When you're constitutionally literate, you see the overreach clearly. That clarity is power. Read the slides, then tell us: where have you felt federal power interfere in decisions that should belong to your community?

The 2nd week of July, Massey spoke multiple times at the Great Homeschool Conventions in Round Rock, TX. As we were setting up our booth before the convention started, the convention organizer came to let us know she had received a number of emails regarding Massey’s message, “Sharia Law vs. the Constitution: A War of Principles.” The emails were essentially asking the organizers to cancel Massey as a speaker for spreading misinformation or have a sharia law scholar in to counter the misinformation… There was some apprehension about possible retaliation or protest for continuing on with the message as scheduled, however there was never any intention of backing down from preaching truth. We immediately reached out to a few of our prayer partners and proceeded as planned.

Not only was that specific class the most powerful one of the weekend, it was also the most attended class Massey did. People were lined up all along the back wall, sitting on the floor because all the seats were full. People stayed after to share their thoughts, ask questions, and thank Massey for bringing to light what our nation is facing.

All that to say, we need we stand for truth no matter what!!! We have seen and experienced over and over again, God moves powerfully through persecution! We are firm believers in the word when it says, “But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew.” Exodus 1:12

Keep preaching truth!!!!

🚨In case you missed it🚨

The reason we have a nation was written 250 years ago. WE ARE established as a Christian nation. Christianity DID have an influence in the founding.

Watch here!!!

The Declaration became more than America’s birth certificate.
It became a model for people and nations seeking freedom.

It gave language to liberty.

It challenged empires.

It inspired movements for independence.
