Description
John Jay vs. the Mob reveals why the rule of law is the foundation that keeps a republic from collapsing into chaos. When mobs decide which laws apply, liberty does not expand, it disappears. This episode of America's Founding Series tells the gripping story of John Jay, a Founding Father who understood that freedom is threatened not only by tyrants, but by organized mobs that reject the legitimacy of law itself. From the streets of 18th-century New York to the unrest unfolding today in Minnesota, this episode explores how mob rule, selective enforcement, and fear of public pressure endanger the Republic. John Jay's life offers a warning that is more relevant now than ever. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why John Jay believed unchecked mobs were just as dangerous as kings How the 1788 New York riot shaped Jay's understanding of liberty and order What the Federalist Papers reveal about restraining all forms of power Why selective law enforcement undermines constitutional government How modern unrest echoes the same threat Jay warned about centuries ago 📲 Subscribe to The P.A.S.
