In the Constitution of No Authority, Lysander Spooner obliterates the idea that the drafters of the Constitution and the people they represented had the authority or ability to bind their posterity to the government they created. In this episode, host Patrick MacFarlane further develops Spooner’s points by dissecting the disconnect between legal arrangements in the private sphere and legal arrangements in the political sphere.

  1. Wow, embarrassing mistake everyone. I said John Marshall was the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. He absolutely was not.

  2. I don’t see any button or link to that voice pipe thing you keep talking about. Anyway I’m reserching your podcasts and I’d say your opinion on things, without any explanation of how you come to your opinion. I think your show on the construction & the conceptual history of it was the best so far.
