Understanding the United States Constitution and Other Founding Documents
Senator Dr Rand Paul Speaks at Boyce College Student Forum About American Values, 23 Oct 2023
This speech by Dr Rand Paul does not dwell specifically so much on America's founding documents. Instead it dwells on the American values that allowed Americans to create such documents. Dr Paul compares the successful and moral American Revolution to the disastrous French Revolution. He points out that it was American values that spawned the American founding documents and still hold those documents in esteem.

Michael Badnarik's Full Course on the US Constitution
Michael Badnarik was the 2004 Libertarian candidate for US President. He is one of the foremost constitutional scholars I know. I attended his full day class when it was still being offered.
Badnarik's course is based on his book, 𝐼𝑡'𝑠 𝐺𝑜𝑜𝑑 𝑡𝑜 𝐵𝑒 𝐾𝑖𝑛𝑔, explaining that the Constitution allows every individual to be sovereign in his own right. During his course Badnarik explains the difference between human rights and property rights.
Here his class is 6 hours, 40 minutes long.
