120 Preamble Series (6of6): Blessings of Liberty

We'll be taking a hiatus from the pod; to stay in touch, please follow us on social media: we are @sienaandtoast on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter and/or join our email list.

This is the final episode in our series about the Preamble to the Constitution of The United States. 

Here’s a short list of things we cover in this episode.

  • John Adams quote from a letter to his wife Abigail in 1780:
    I must study politics and war, that our sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. Our sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history and naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry and porcelain.

  • "self-interest rightly understood." A huge fallacy to correct these days is the fallacy that [individual self-interest] and [the larger community's interests] are mutually exclusive. They're not.

  • “Good Enough” the song that closes this episode, is on
