I break down the real problems they faced—no tax base, weak national defense, economic instability—and how those failures led directly to the Constitutional Convention and the framework we live under today.
But here’s the problem: this isn’t being taught anymore. Instead of learning how this country was built, students are being taught ideology instead of history—and that has real consequences for understanding our system, our rights, and our future.
If you don’t know how it started, you won’t understand what’s changing.
This is about history, the Constitution, and why it still matters.
