Regarding the Peter Schiff video, you might enjoy a very easy read called "Miracle on Main Street" by F. Tupper Saussy. It's a history of Roger Sherman's (only signer of all four Founding documents) involvement in Article I Clause 10. It is about the only clause, per Madison's notes, where there was no debate but unanimous acceptance by the Founding Fathers. The book is a free PDF.
