00:00In two weeks, we celebrate Constitution Day.

00:05What's it ever done for us?
00:06We the people! We the people!
00:11What's the Constitution, Dad?
00:13It's a document. Our laws are based on it.
00:15My teacher says the Constitution's old-fashioned and needs to be replaced.
00:19Replaced with what?
00:20She did not say.
00:22I don't think I've ever read the Constitution.
00:24I don't feel bad.
00:26Neither have I.
00:29Interesting, isn't it?
00:30Members of Congress actually reading the Constitution and its headline news.
00:35Today at the coffee place, I met this guy and something really bizarre happened.
00:39I'm too, man. Time's a-wasting.
00:42Where are we going?
00:44We're gonna have some fun.
00:47What the heck is it about the Constitution?

01:11First Amendment's alive and well.
01:14The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

01:23It's the Third Amendment.
01:25No soldier shall in time of peace be quartered in any house without the consent of the order.
01:33Pardon me, sir.
01:34Do you have a warrant?
01:35We don't need no stinking warrants.
01:36Oh, I'd act a difference.
01:38What am I supposed to do about any of this?
01:40Your country's in a mess.
01:41The Constitution needs to be restored to its rightful authority.
01:45There's definitely a story here.
01:47Let's get this paper out.
01:51You're gonna let them shut you up?
01:53Not on your life.
01:54The people who broke up the mayor's event, if they had a grievance, they should have positioned
02:19the government, not torn the place apart.
02:21Son, you are well on your way to becoming a constitutional scholar.
