"Congress for Dummies"... isn't that a bit of a repetition? :P
The word we are looking for is 'redundant'. That said, agreed.
"Suppose you're an idiot, and suppose you're a member of congress... but I repeat myself." - Mark Twain
I believe you meant redundant - what the Senate did today only emphasizes that even members of the Senate known nothing of politics, nor much interest in the U.S. Constitution. Mozel tov.
I'm using your videos to help me study for my law 101 class! Thanks for this quick summary!
Did you make it
@@ghostfromdeadmenatseawilli2248 I hope
**Hears the senate described as wise old men living on a hill**
**Looks at current senate**
How's that again?
Thank you for creating this amazing video. My son who is ten just finished memorizing all of Article I. Your Video helps him understand it more in depth with the words and pictures you use. His goal is to memorize the whole Constitution this summer.
One correction needed (I'm sure it's been mentioned), a Rep does not have to be a resident for 7 years of the state which he/she represents, they need to be a US citizen for 7 years and a current resident of the state. Senate members need to be a US citizen for 9 years.
The framers intention of the Senate to be elected by State governments allowed state governments to be represented in Congress i.e. Federal government. The 17th Amendment is one of the most destructive Amendments whereas state governments no longer have representation at the Federal level. This allowed the shift to a more central government. The second most destructive Amendment was the 14th.
My 8th grade social studies honors class is using this series for homework. I'm actually really enjoying watching this and learning more about how the three branches even out together. Good video!
Guys, this guy is the best! He explains this even better than my American Gov. teacher, you’re the best! Really appreciate this series.
Thank you for taking the time out to explain this. History is not my strong suit. This has helped me to understand what I am reading by dumbing it down for me. Haha. I listen to you while I skim through my reading. My history class(college and online) is brutal and you are saving my sanity. haha. Thank you. You are greatly appreciated.
I'm studying to take the CLEP (College Level Examination Program) test for American Government so I also read a college text and then use these types of videos to help review. So far, all of Hughes' videos I've seen check out. It helps to see the content expressed in other ways (different pictures, written text, Mad dog analogies, etc.). I already 'CLEPped' out of American History 1 and 2 with the help of these videos, so thank you Mr. Hughes!
Thank you! I am preparing a lecture on Congress today. My dissertation and research expertise focuses on American Political Theory. My lectures focus on theories (e..g Rawls/Nozick debate) and how they apply to institutions of power in the United States. We focus on Lockean Liberalism specifically, along with the Federalist and Anti-Federalist papers. We also compare and contrast elite theory with pluralist theory. Your focus on institutional powers (the nuts and bolts of politics) help a lot. Thank you. The Mad Dog concept is brilliant.
You don't have to be a dummy to watch!

rusty dawgt You're being sensitive.
rusty dawgt That is the dumbest thing I've heard today.
+Keith Hughes (HipHughes) The opposite of pro- is con-, that fact is plainly seen, but if progress means to move forward, then what does Congress mean?
+Chris Bowman Not all change is good. Sometimes, a Congress passing no new laws, can be better than letting them pass bad laws.
it's sad that i've learned more from you then 2 years of government classes in highschool
Terris cooper But also kinda happy too
Well, it says something about the american education system
Kirito Sao Naw, I think it's a maturity thing. I didn't become interested in anything but weed until I was about 21 years old. Now I'm trying to catch up. Thank you Keith!
+Keith Hughes (HipHughes) I'm in AP Gov where I'm expected to learn the constitution on my own, (being an audio learner), I find your videos very helpful.
+Kitty MewMew (Vicktorious) I'm also taking AP Gov want to study
I love it you make it so understanding and easy for me to review from my current class. Thank you! and your so funny!
You are amazing ,thank you so much!
I learned tons from you!
Your'e welcome tons!
This video really breaks down the different sections and helps me study for my tests!
hey this is Joseph here and me and my social studies teacher really like your videos
guys hes just trying to be cool and appeal to a bigger audience. he teaches valuable stuff and obviously put in alot of work so well done hip
The mad dog concept only works when the population informs themselves and keeps up to date. Right now in our country it seems like the dog's owner is sleeping with the lease in hand... Btw thank you for making these great videos. Hopefully more people will watch them and we could tighten up the slack on that leash.
This video helped me understand the first five sections of article one in the Constitution because it really broke down every section and it gave me things that I can remember to help me understand it more.
I love your videos, I am a sped guy who teaches a modified civics course...you are on the menu!
hmmmm... when did it cut off for you.... I just checked mine goes to 20:22 with the FIN title.....
I really like how you use examples such as the dog on the short leash. Those things really help me understand the concepts of things such as our constitution.
Question: @ 17:40, the Ex-Post Facto Law. Can it work in reverse? The death penalty was withdrawn in CA at one point then made legal again. However, prisoners were not returned to death raw after it became legal. Colorado: If prisoners were put in jail for possision of weed before it became legal, can they NOW go free under this law?
no unfortunately it doesn't work that way
I think reading about a lot about US history and then viewing your videos on the subject really helps solidify the cracks in my brain on things that I might already be aware of, but just not quite there in terms of articulating it in a coherent message. I had a professor in college who would frequently say that "repetition is the mother of learning." That seems to be the case :)
Interesting thing about the mad dog. I remember in my government class there was a cartoon having a huge dog labeled as government with tens of people holding it by the leash.
Hoping me watching this video over and over again is counted as "studying" for my first test of the semester tm!
studying for test tomorrow this is helpful..what is a caucus, gerrymandering, a party whip and a steering commitee..oh and can you explain the confirmation process....because that makes no sense (non legislative tasks of congress)?
I love watching your videos! I fall in the cray cray college student category :)
Just quick... I've used some of your videos in class and find them helpful. I just want to clarify though, Reps and Senators must be a citizen of the US, not a resident of their State for the specified amount of time. They just have to be an inhabitant at the time of their election, I'm pretty sure.
Thank you, user of social media. This was very helpful. I had no idea you could become a senator. That's straight pimp, like a mug. I always just assumed they were manufactured overseas or something.
thank you soo much you helped me get a 100 on my midterm you help me a lot in my civics class .thank you all of your videos help me a lot
I always struggle to explain why only a third of senators are up for election each year. You do it really well thank you for giving me some inspiration!
This helped me so much. Thank you so much! Keep up the good work!!
im in 8th grade and this is what our teachers show us we watch your show at least once a week. it real helps. like if ur in Mr.andrews
bang bang for the learning John! hashtag awesome
HIPHUGHES!!! OMGEEEE
Olivia Min
yo yo Olivia
HUGHES your videos r KWEL
Nikki Kattamuri
so are your comments. :)
You stated that you have to be a resident of that state for 7 years...however, it only states "inhabitant" in section 2. Please explain. Thanks!
You are the BEST when it comes to Exam review
OK I just found this channel. There goes my productive work day.
Welcome to the historical madhouse of learning.
This video is helpful because it breaks the sections of congress and helps me study for my test
thank you, wish i had watched these videos much sooner!
Thank you for describing what the 1st article of the constitution is and what it means.
Test tomorrow, wish me luck!
Haley Gold how’d you do?
Thanks for the video. I wasn't listening when my teacher went over A1S4 and I have a quiz tommorow so that cleared things up in my mind so thanks.
You are one of my favorite people!!
Thanks Brianna. You are now one of my favorite subscribers!
Why is there no discussion of the “vesting” clause and the doctrine of “non-delegation?”
You said that Senators have to live in the state they represent, and that's how I've always understood it, but it says "who shall not, when elected, be an inhabitant of that state in which he shall be chosen," so I'm kinda confused.
just got your self a Sub. Keep up the Fun and educational videos Keith Hughes.
Ah too "Aquire" zone. I Registered a song, and Congress criss crossed forms of registration and payments, and are way late on processing one little song? That has multiple violations. Hence "Legislative Intent is what I am obligated to use. For due process.
Great video, Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
Great work, thank you so much, i feel so smart now. Just a question about Section 10. You mention States cannot create taxes on goods coming into or leaving the State, can you please detail this? I am not American but i thought that different States have different taxes on goods. Txs.
definitely ready for my test tomorrow. thank you!
Hughes is absolutely dynamic!
+Kaydell Leavitt thanks brother.
Keith Hughes Thank you for your wealth of free videos. I hope to learn a lot from you.
What do you think of the convention of states project (COS) from the citizens for self-government (CSG)? conventionofstates.com.
I'm in favor of it, but I think that it is influenced too much by the right.
I get the feeling that you are left of me and that I am right of you. I feel that CSG and the Wolf-PAC should get together from the right and left and propose an amendment that is common ground between the left and the right, so that the rich don't have such an oligarchy of power.
I hope that the left and the right can come together in the Assembly of State Legislatures (ASL) and work out language of amendments that would be beneficial to the county, since we, of course, need 3/4 of the states to pass any amendment.
Did I just say, "blah blah blah blah blah".
I've now re-watched that section of the video several times and I THINK that I understand what you meant in your comment. Perhaps that part of the lesson needs further explanation because it SOUNDS like you are trying to make the case that representative democracy is direct democracy not that representatives are at risk of recall. Just something to consider and thanks for getting back to me.
This helped me recognize the powers, especially the mad dog concept.
The video was fun. I like how you described the U.S. federal system more like you would teach Rome's republic, with an emphasis on systems over circumstance. You are a bit confused about your terms though. Read Wikipedia's article for Direct Democracy.
amazing i have learned more from u than i have in school #tg4k
booyah!
Tysm! Got a quiz tomorrow on these sections
For all you people who think everything in American history is racist, with 3/5 compromise was it to say black people are less valuable, it was to take away representative power from a slave state. 3/5 compromise if anything was used as an attempt to end slavery.
@ It's a choice: this video is not intended to be exact, it's just made to have an idea, and me being a uni student I say it serves its purpose
Thanks.
Hold on, i'm struggling to understand the responsibilities of congress. where did you talk about them
Thanks for the kudos. If you look at your reference you will see that while direct democracy can refer to the decision making process in regards to public policy (such as an initiative or referendum) the term direct democracy can also refer to the election process of officials. So using the term to describe the process for electing the House as opposed to the Senate before the 17th amendment is perfectly legitimate. So says the brain in my head..... :)
Of course only the second union is a democracy the members of the perpetual union are guaranteed a Republican form of government.
But you didn't realize that we have two different governments did you.
THIS WAS AWESOME!MORE! :) .
I just figured out how to comment off my account, sorry, I'm technologically challenged. This video was actually quite helpful, because it broke down all the parts of the Constitution we need to know for the test. I wouldn't have remembered all this if it weren't for this.
Thanks! Great video! Very helpful!
Thanks sister! If we you get a sec, could you and your peeps give me a vote? edublogawards.com/2014-awards/best-education-use-of-media-audio-video-podcast-etc-2014/
Article 1 Section 4 is my favorite and best article of the first four and you blow through it in 10 seconds?
Could someone help me with something? I'm looking at the Constitution right now and when he talks about the HoR or Section 2, he states that people must be a citizen of their state for at least 7 years and I have the Constitution in front of me and it doesn't say that. It only says you have to be a citizen of the U.S. for 7 years. Here's the quote from Article 1, Sec. 2, let me know if I'm misinterpreting or misreading something, please! "No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen.''
You have found part of the secret. To be a Senator you have to be 30 and 9 years a citizen. One age of majority is 18 (representative) one is 21 (Senator).
The Constitution was written to create a permanent government to tax and regulate people living on federal land it replaced the Northwest Ordinance the temporary government created to tax and regulate people living on federal land.
Think of it like this the United States is a subsidiary of the United States of America a Confederation of Sovereign countries similar to the European Union.
The Confederation thru war with England was ceded land that was not a state of the Perpetual Union of 13 sovereign countries united for mutual benefits. The 13 (colonies) wanted to sell the huge amounts of land ceded to the Confederation but they had no government suitable for the task so a second government was formed to tax and regulate and sell the newly acquired land.
If someone lives on your land they can be taxed and regulated. There were no taxes or regulations allowed in the 13 colonies and the Common Law was the law. (Still true today).
Cray cray on the internet here 🙋🏻♀️
I'm cray cray on the internet
It is not direct democracy direct democracy which is the Athenian model means that each citizen has one vote and all laws and rules are passed by the citizens. You can call the house representative democracy but it is not direct democracy.
I save this to my playlist United We Stand CZcamsrs look forward to hear from you God bless Ken
Great video
Great videos! My teacher played us the Articles of Confederation video and I loved it! Unfortuantely that was only a brief segment as I take Politics and not History :( BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER
Drew Carey is a really good teacher.
Thanks for making this video, it taught me a lot of new things! I like how you are so straightforward and get right to the point
Cray cray on the internet 😭😭
I subscribed. When do I find out if I get a pony?
(great videos by the way)
Thanks man, I will use a mad dog concept in my political science exam
yank that leash!
Jeez. Everybody watching these are so old like teachers and stuff. I'm in middle school :O

You don't have to be a resident of the state for 7 years, you have to be a U.S. Citizen for 7 years.
I voted for you!
So you’re saying the 16th amendment is unconstitutional. Nice
14:18 Article I Section 8 - the real teeth and power and most overlooked part of the Constitution where from all things stem: military, healthcare, social security.
no, healthcare and social security are not in the constitution in any form meaning they are state issues only. If you're referring to the general welfare clause, that clause is still restricted by the rest of the constitution, it doesn't mean anything you want that sounds nice. Congress can provide for the general welfare but ONLY within the scope of the powers delegated to it by the constitution. If it's not delegated to the fed, the 10th amendment says that it's reserved to the states, or if the states are forbidden from having that power by the constitution, that power goes to the people. Lack of mention is also lack of delegation.
I recommend watching this video before you respond. czcams.com/video/iqtBHIe3JMM/video.html
@@killer13324 Congress has unlimited legislative authority on federal land. There is your authority.
@@whitefly2 their authority is limited by the constitution. If it doesn't say they can do something, then they *can't* do it at all. Period.
@@yellow4034 i look at the stated intent by the drafters. Madison had a significant part in drafting the constitution and is a main authority on it. He was the one who pointed out that the general welfare clause was a generalized caption to specified powers and was ripped from the articles of confederation with the exact same meaning for the purpose of reducing the risk of anyone misconstruing it.
The commerce laws had written-in limitations which the FDR era supreme court blatantly ignored in Filburn v Wickard. Only commerce that crosses state/national/reservation lines is in federal jurisdiction.
And an amendment had to be ratified to allow a federal income tax so tax powers were limited from the start.
I prefer to get the context behind the text from those who wrote it. Then you can't get it wrong.
With the raising and supporting an army, there's a limitation written into it, no apportionment of funds to that use shall be for a longer term than 2 years.
And there is no "national guard" in the constitution, it's the militia. National guard, technically, is part of the army, making or formal military. Militia is not formal military, but entirely civilian with the exception of the commanding officers who are appointed by the respective state.
Congress can also PROVIDE for the training, arming, and organizing of the militia [includes funds toward arms and other equipment], not regulate [arm, organize, and train] the militia directly.
And the necessary and proper clause acts as reinforcement to other delegated powers, it does not give leeway for any assumed powers that are not delegated to the fed by the constitution itself, powers that the fed cannot have under the 10th amendment unless an amendment is added giving that power to the fed directly, or repeals the 10th.
You also completely skipped the letters of marque and reprisal, which gives Congress the power to send private individuals with the means to do so permission to act against the nation's enemies whether it be through piracy or direct combat, methods are left up to the recipient of the letter according to their means.
Also, states cannot deal with other states or foreign powers *without the consent of congress* if congress gives the ok for one state to deal with a specific state or foreign country, then it's good. They just need congressional approval unless they outright leave the union, something that the federal government CAN contest in court, but if they don't go to court, there's nothing the fed can do about it without conquering that state to force it back into the union. Also, it states that the states cannot ENGAGE in war unless invaded directly or another circumstance that will not allow delay, it doesn't say that the states cannot declare war.
Texas vs White, 1868: No state has ever had, or ever will have the right to secede.
Sorry..can't resist....isn't Congress for Dummies an oxymoron? Glad to see you are still rocking it. Make sure to make contacts with the folk at Learningequality out in San Diego.
I wish you were my teacher!

Well that's one way to describe letters of marque
