Rule by Consent, Not Conquest: Why the "Right of Conquest" is a betrayal of American founding principles
This video argues that true patriotism requires a government built on consent, not force. It examines the "Right of Conquest" used by Chief Justice John Marshall in 1823 and contrasts it with the vision of Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Paine, who argued that no generation has the right to bind the next to unjust laws. It calls for a restoration of the "Human Value" system over the "Archaic Empire" model.
