In this video Heimler walks you through the next required foundational document for AP Government: Brutus 1. This document was produced by the Anti-Federalists (probably Robert Yates, but the jury is still out on its true author) in order to persuade the New York public, and anyone else who happened to read it, that the people of the United States should not ratify the Constitution.

Brutus argues that investing a central government with so much power would necessarily make state power irrelevant. On this count he is especially concerned about the necessary and proper clause and and the supremacy clause.

I used to be an APUSH and APGOV student many years ago. I’m coming back to encourage you all to take seriously what you are learning here. I wish I did back then instead of just doing it to get extra college credit and look good for college. A lot of our rights and luxuries are being stripped away and the general population doesn’t even know it or do anything about it. Even if 1 person out of 100 listens to this, please, understand how much this really does apply to our daily lives. - The Founding Fathers would be ashamed and would be actively trying to reverse what we’ve allowed to happen in this day and age.

Taking Ap gov in an hour, didn’t even take the class. This man is saving me. The Ap classroom videos are elongated wastes of your time. ❤️

[AlexAsh]

carrying class of 2024! binging every unit review video, foundational documentation, and cases, right before exam day!

[chrismitchell]

Also kids, don't forget "Polis" that properly addresses the issues of "scale in greek democracy" if you want those bonus points.

[Kens-Music]

brutus: is it better keep the articles or adopt constitution?
- articles of confederation is better
- concerns about the supremacy clause and necessary and proper clause: if federal law>states, then states will have no power; if congress can carry out any action necessary and proper for an expressed power, it will be too powerful
- concerns about taxes: how will the states tax if the federal govt already taxes? people will be unwilling to pay too much
- large republic will not work because it can’t represent ALL of the people and it will be very slow and disfunctional

taking this test in one hour bless this man for carrying me through ap gov

[henrypark]

School hasn’t started yet, but I’m watching these videos for fun! Maybe I should get a headstart …

Reserved for later. I missed my lecture on Brutus (I didn't physically miss it, but I did the wrong reading so I felt not emerged into class). Gotta check out later, thank you for uploading.

Yes, but Brutus (another one, more likely the one that the founders thought of), like Publius ("author" of the Fed Papers), is one of the founders of the Roman Republic.

federalists in favor of new constitution
fed 10: how to protect minorities
- factions are dangerous (dominate govt and force ppl to follow their interests)
- solution is to stop factions in the first place or lessen the effects
- solution is a large republic cuz there will be more interests and it will be hard to get support across everyone
- more factions = more compromises

Imagine having newspapers with this quality of OpEd and that people would read and discuss them.

[zacharybowers]

I named my first dog Brutus for this reason.
