Rethinking the US Constitution - Dr. Wanjiru Njoya

10/01/2026 Wanjiru Njoya

Does defending liberty require challenging the laws Americans have long been taught to revere? Dr. Wanjiru Njoya joins Benjamin Boyce to discuss Reconstruction, the Fourteenth Amendment, and her argument that civil rights laws have expanded government power at the expense of property rights and freedom of association. Their conversation explores why replacing political leaders is not enough, how tradition and community relate to individual liberty, and what it would mean to dismantle the laws that enable state overreach.

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard.

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
