In this thought-provoking video, Cliff Ribner explores the deeper roots of the American Constitution—beyond the text itself. He explains how the American Revolution was not a standalone event but the continuation of a centuries-long battle for individual liberty that began with the Magna Carta in 1215 and carried through the English Civil Wars and the Glorious Revolution of 1688.

 

Cliff reveals how much of what we consider “constitutional rights” are not found directly in the document we call the Constitution—but are drawn from a shared heritage of English law, liberty, and limitations on government power. He connects the dots between historical revolutions, foundational legal principles, and modern-day challenges, including the rise of administrative agencies, standing armies, and violations of due process.
