Meshekh Chokhmah relates the prohibition against Avodah Zarah to the verse כי לי בני ישראל עבדים. The shiur plays that connection out in the halakhot of dina demalkhuta dina and employment law, noting parallels in American law and political theory along the way.

Much gratitude to the Yeshiva of Newark Podcast and Rabbi Avrohom Kivelevitz for hosting the shiur.
