Ep. 319 | Constitutional Chats Podcast | Timothy Sandefur | The Constitution vs. Socialism: America's Built-In Safeguards
Socialism isn't new. Plato's "The Republic" outlines an ideal state with elements of socialism. The Founding Fathers were well aware of the concept and purposefully wrote safeguards against it in our founding documents. Case in point: the Bill of Rights protects private property and Article 1 of the Constitution protects patents and intellectual property. Please join our special guest, Timothy Sandefur, Vice President for Legal Affairs at the Goldwater Institute's Scharf-Norton Center for Constitutional Litigation, and our student panel for this enlightening discussion.
