With the American Revolution, the colonists established a Republic that limited the power of the government.  In marked contrast, the French revolutionaries ended up with a socialist oligarchy that controlled the lives of the citizens and tried to keep them in a state of TERROR.  The French "Republic" was not a true republic in the least.

To understand "rule of law" in a Republic, one must under the distinction between natural law and political law. They are NOT the same!
Natural Law refers to fixed standards of right and wrong.
Political Law refers to laws chosen by politicians.
  • Political Law is often based on the whims of political correctness and the desire to get votes by enacting legislation to keep the majority happy.
  • Political Laws can - and often do - violate the principles of Natural Law.

American vs. French Revolution — What's the Difference?
Premiered Feb 17, 2022
​[10 minutes]

To say the American Revolution was an exceptional in world history would be an understatement. In this episode, we unpack why it's so significant and how it could easily have collapsed into tyranny, like the French Revolution.

   • First Principles   In this First Principles video series, America and the Struggle for Freedom, Dr. Joseph Loconte, Director of the B. Kenneth Simon Center for American Studies and AWC Family Foundation Fellow, unpacks the theme of freedom in Western Civilization, culminating in the American Experiment.

American Revolution vs. French Revolution
Jul 10, 2023
​[10.5 minutes]

This month we’re celebrating America’s birthday. Today’s radicals on the Left want to sever us from our nation’s history and rebuild upon foundations far from what our founders envisioned. But the revolutionary period provides us with a very clear case study in where that would take us. See what two revolutions, the American and the French, fought to protect and what they brought to fruition on this episode of “Truths That Transform.” [Coral Ridge Ministries]
