then he runs as for the house to represent of the patrick henry contingent in virginia so you can see where he stands on the consolidated government. so madison is asked to use the absence of a bill of rights with the ratification argument that it will be a tyrannical government but a really appeals to the emotional worries or the anxiety what are we getting into with the federal government? and this continues and medicine promises in a campaign promise, i will propose a bill of rights as soon as i give in to congress and feels he ought to honor that campaign pledge even though he generally feels the power of enforcement is nil is referred to as the parchment barrier and i think madison thinking about proposing it is thinking about the same thing i know politically of that is a good idea but i really does not matter. also the federalist believe that the federal government would have power because of the bill of rights tonight be enumerated. and how were they in favor of the bill of rights and what did they say about that? >> at the ratifying convention many are repeats some madison is

these words reported be spoken by patrick henry at the beginning of the war. i will lift this carefully out of the amount. you can see "kill or be killed," which is a contemporary sounding slogan. and "appeal to heaven." which was something that appeared on new england flags at the time and was also a very popular slogan at the beginning of the war. the date, 1775. and curiously, this crown. if you will remember on that havana powderhorn, also a crown with g.r. iii. sometimes people who see this horn are confuse. this guy was a virginia fighting in the continental army. why would he have a crown on his powderhorn? in 1775, these men are still fighting to restore their rights as englishmen within the empire. so it's perfectly consistent to see the king as the person who is going to intercede with parliament. that parliament is the group that is oppressing and trying to enslave americans. of course, all of that changes between summer of 1775 and summer of 1776, in which americans finally when they hear that the king has refused to read a petition sent by the sec

c-span: what was the motive of people -- patrick henry you mentioned, i think, first in your book. >> guest: right. c-span: twenty-nine years old, or something like that, in those early years. >> guest: yeah. he -- it's hard to know about each of these individual -- the motivations of each of these individual leaders because you reduce it to their various ambitions. they are an ambitious group, these revolutionary leaders. but henry makes his name in the so-called "parsons' cause" in the 1750s, which doesn't seem to have much to do with the revolution, although looking back, you can see it as an anticipation because henry really does attack the established church and imperial power in general and makes some derogatory comments about imperial leadership. so looking back, you see it as a premonition of the revolution. i'm sure nobody at the time, in 1758, saw this as revolutionary, but it is a symptom of the kind of willingness of young leaders to take on the establishment, if you will. c-span: so in those days, in the -- 1758 and all through that period, how many people in this country

patrick henry and other founders often wrote to the brevity of human nature and this keeps conservatives from accepting the progressive notion that mankind is somehow an avidly advancing and getting better and progressives would suggest that mankind is perfectible and in fact government is has the means to achieve the perfection. conservatives just don't agree with that and we think that there's plenty of in transit evidence that would suggest otherwise. conservatives believe that the american republic was founded not to reform human nature but rather to establish boundaries within which human nature makes might forage. because of the nature of the primary role of government are just two. number one is to establish order and number two, to preserve liberty. a conservative believes that our liberty is not granted by the government with its god-given and therefore. they would advocate a maximum degree of personal liberty. there was a threat of anarchy. they didn't want to seek that to any form of anarchy that but at the same time they recognized this threat of anarchy they were aware of th

henry and they say just wait. people will realize that this government is going to be turned and ago and will have it constitutional convention. >> in 1791 they were expecting that they could mount the call for a second constitutional convention. they had the strongest organized states rights political leadership in the country that he was right there was a push for a second constitutional convention and at one point he says basically if we had had not, swords would be drawn there've been there would be mayhem and blood in the streets and madison says basically the same thing the first was so difficult. can you imagine what the second one would be like so they were anxious to make sure that this is a dead issue and that speaks to another point and that is that we have come to the jeffersonian claims it's that the group of demagogues and they knew exactly what they wanted to do and they knew this was going to be the greatest longest government when you look at the convention you realize they argued and argued and a

these words reportedly spoken by virginian patrick henry at the beginning of the war. lift this carefully out of the mount. you can see "kill or be killed," which is fairly sobering, almost contemporary-sounding slogan. and "appeal to heaven," which is something that appeared on new england flags at the time and was also a popular slogan. the date, 1775. curiously, this crown. remember on the havana powderhorn, also a crown, in that case with "g.r. iii." sometimes people see this and ask why he would have a crown on his horn, but in 1775, these men are still writing to restore their rights as englishmen within the empire, so it is perfectly consistent with that the appeal to the king to see the king as a person who is going to intercede with parliament, that parliament is the group that is oppressing and trying to in slave americans. of course, all that changes between summer of 1775 and the summer of 1776 in which americans finally, when they hear that the king has refused to read a petition sent by the second continental congress, the all of transportation -- the all
