Shownotes Transcript

The most common form of government, across history, is a gang, with the most powerful gangster called a "king." Very few countries have ever been different, and most of them didn't last long. Historian Bill Federer explains how exceptional America's long-lasting republic is, and how it is rooted in the example of ancient Israel. Charlie and Bill also talk about why Christians are obligated to vote, and why abstaining from politics is a moral failure.
