This week, we’re honored to welcome one of the nation’s leading constitutional educators and historians.

Douglas V. Gibbs is President of the Constitution Association, a Fellow with the American Freedom Alliance, nationally recognized constitutional instructor, author, public speaker, and radio host. For decades, Doug has dedicated his career to teaching the original meaning of the United States Constitution and helping Americans understand the principles of limited government, federalism, and individual liberty upon which our Republic was founded.

His latest work examines what he calls one of the most overlooked protections in the Bill of Rights—the Petition Clause of the First Amendment. While most Americans understand freedom of speech, religion, and the press, few realize that the Founders envisioned something much more powerful than simply writing a letter to Congress. The Petition Clause originally guaranteed citizens a formal process requiring government to receive, consider, and respond to grievances.

As someone who spent 35 years in law enforcement and now studies criminal justice policy, I find this discussion particularly important because public trust in government—including policing and the justice system—is inseparable from whether citizens believe they actually have meaningful avenues for accountability.

Doug, welcome to America’s Criminologist.
