Charlie Kirk's Case That State Constitutions Prove a Christian Founding
Showing 3 State Constitutions videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.
Charlie Kirk argued that America's Christian founding is best demonstrated not by the federal Constitution but by the original state constitutions, noting that all thirteen required some declaration of religious faith and nine of thirteen specifically required officeholders to be Bible-believing Christians, with fifty-five of the fifty-six signers of the Declaration of Independence identified as church-attending Christians. He traced common law principles like the presumption of innocence and trial by a jury of one's peers to biblical sources through the legal scholar William Blackstone, and argued the phrase separation of church and state comes from a single 1807 Jefferson letter rather than the Constitution itself. Other videos in this pool include a related presentation making the same historical argument to a campus audience skeptical of Christian nationalism.
