In this special episode of The Jenny Beth Show, constitutional scholar Bill Norton joins Jenny Beth Martin for Part 1 of a four-part constitution training series, produced in conjunction with Tea Party Patriots Foundation. Norton argues the Americans were not rebels at all. They were a self-governing people defending a freedom they had already exercised for more than a century. This is the foundation every liberty-minded activist needs before the next fight.
Guest: Bill Norton, constitutional scholar and co-author of Speaking the Language of Liberty.
