Constitutional Literacy: Do You Really Understand Your Rights?

Freedom Starts with Knowing What It Means

You can’t defend what you don’t understand. That’s the challenge facing our country today.

Somewhere along the way, we forgot what brought this nation together. We forgot what the Constitution really stands for — not just rules and clauses, but timeless truths that bind us as Americans. It’s more than a document. It’s a declaration of who we are.

Shockingly, most Americans cannot name even one of the freedoms protected by the First Amendment. According to a national study, only 7% can correctly identify the basic rights it guarantees. This ignorance isn’t harmless — it’s dangerous.

At FourG Media, we believe that knowledge is the first line of defense in the fight for freedom. It’s time to equip ourselves, our families, and our communities to stand firm in defense of our God-given rights.

Why Constitutional Literacy Matters

The Constitution isn’t just a founding document — it’s a blueprint for liberty. It lays out, clearly and boldly, the rights granted not by government, but by God Himself.

Understanding your rights isn’t optional — it’s essential to preserving your family’s freedom, your faith, and your way of life. It’s also a critical defense against government overreach and cultural erosion.

In a world where Christian and conservative values are under constant attack, constitutional knowledge is your armor.

What Most Americans Don’t Know

A study by the Annenberg Public Policy Center found that the vast majority of Americans are unfamiliar with even the most fundamental constitutional rights. This makes them easy targets for manipulation, misinformation, and the surrender of liberties they don’t realize they possess.

This kind of ignorance is not accidental — it’s encouraged by those who benefit from a compliant and uninformed public. That’s why constitutional illiteracy is one of the greatest threats to American freedom today.

Key Rights Every Patriot Should Know

At FourG Media, we stand on four unshakable pillars — God, Gas, Guns, & Glory — each of the core four representing a truth that has shaped our nation. These values aren’t just slogans, but are the foundation for the freedoms every American must defend.

If you’re part of FourG Nation, here are the rights you need to know and protect:

• First Amendment – Guarantees freedom of speech, religion, the press, assembly, and petition. These rights form the bedrock of a free society. Without them, tyrants silence truth, shut down churches, and control communities.
  
  
• Second Amendment – At FourG Media, we don’t just support the Second Amendment — we live it. Guns are one of our core four values because they represent strength, independence, and accountability. Defending this right is defending all others — the First Amendment, the Fourth Amendment, and beyond.
  
  
• Tenth Amendment – The Constitution gives only specific powers to the federal government and leaves the rest to the states or the people. It reinforces the idea that liberty thrives closest to home, not in the hands of distant bureaucrats.

These rights are non-negotiable. Politicians don’t grant them — God does. Patriots must guard them with unwavering resolve.

What’s Undermining the Constitution Today

Our Constitution is under siege — not just from legislation, but from cultural apathy. Censorship, mass surveillance, gun control efforts, and attacks on religious liberty are all signs of a slow and silent erosion.

If we don’t call out constitutional violations when they happen, we risk waking up in a country where freedom is nothing more than a memory.

Freedom Begins with You

Start small: Read one article or a single amendment each week. Share it with your family. Talk about it at church. Push back on false narratives. Understanding the Constitution is how freedom is preserved — not just in Washington, but around the kitchen table.

Constitutional literacy is more than a civic duty — it’s a spiritual responsibility and a patriotic imperative.

If we want to save America, we must first understand what makes it worth saving.
