About this episode
In this episode of The Todd Huff Show, Todd continues his series explaining the foundational principles behind America’s constitutional system. Today’s focus: why the Constitution was intentionally designed to slow the expansion of government power. Todd explores how good intentions in politics can still produce harmful policies, from welfare incentives and regulatory barriers to government-driven inflation in higher education. He also explains the Founders’ reasoning behind separation of powers, federalism, and enumerated powers—and why government gridlock can actually protect liberty. Finally, Todd examines how crises are often used to justify expanding government authority, reminding listeners why vigilance is necessary to preserve freedom.
