The No Treason Podcast Ep. 4: Contracts, Consent & The Constitution of No Authority
Description
Jonathan Drake continues his deep dive into Lysander Spooner’s No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority, dissecting sections four and five with philosophical precision and relatable humor. Building on Spooner’s radical claim that the U.S. Constitution was never a binding contract, Drake explores what truly defines consent under natural law, examining why writing, signing, and delivery are essential for legitimacy. Using vivid examples and biblical parallels, he unpacks how even everyday receipts and legal signatures reflect the moral order embedded in human nature. Along the way, Jonathan weaves in live chat commentary, Nietzsche quotes, and a playful nod to comedian Mitch Hedberg to highlight the absurdity of modern governance. From Spooner’s critique of government authority to Drake’s reflections on morality, faith, and free will, this episode challenges listeners to rethink what it really means to “consent to be governed.”
