Safety vs Freedom Part V

The Bill of Rights

Actual 1787 Constitution as drafted. Note the capital letters for WE, the PEOPLE of the UNITED STATES. If one does not know the battle they are fighting, and the rules of the battle, how does one know what one is to bring to said fight; a pen or a gun? As it turns out, the pen is mightier than the sword. Mankind has been enslaved by the pen. Reminder below from Safety vs Freedom Part II:

“Simple” rule of thumb:

“John Doe” capital letter at beginning of name - some duties and responsibilities - family or marriage - capitus diminutio minima

“John DOE” full capital last name - loss of rights of citizenship but not liberty - loss of family rights - capitus diminutio media

“JOHN DOE” full capital first and last - transition from freedom to bondage - total loss of freedom and becoming a slave - capitus diminutio maxima

“john doe” - to be one’s own master - sui juris

To be clear, the 1787 Constitution is to enumerate the duties and responsibilities of the Federal Republic to the Confederation (Union of States). WE the PEOPLE of the UNITED STATES (as actually written) are the PEOPLE doing work as a federal subcontractor for the Union of States and is a slave to the people (you and me). I constantly see the lie retold as “We the People” and everyone believing it is about those of mankind in the states, counties, or magisterial districts/townships. Say something (the lie) long enough and enough times, people believe it… yet, how many people took the time to go back and read the Constitutions and apply law styling rules as were used for an unincorporated (at the time) organization? We will dig into the legal documents used for modern maritime and admiralty jurisdiction courts in future articles. You will see the same rules and styling applies.

Introduction

The Constitution of 1787 was created to establish a contract with a “different organization”, because of “the impropriety of delegating such extensive trust of one body of men is evident”. This one body they were discussing was the Union of States (Confederation). And this one body was not enough to handle everything and the issues of the States; so, a new organization was created; the Federal Republic (aka federal government):

“in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

This is “for” the United States of America. It is not for we the people! It is an organization doing business. You are not on the payroll or employed or part of the organization unless you decided (or did not claim back your status as a native to your birth state/nation) to become a federal employee or federal citizen.

The enumerated duties were covered in Part IV of this series and these were very limiting duties and the legal rules, codes, acts and statutes that this organization created to do their daily business:

To exercise exclusive legislation, in all cases whatsoever, over such district (not exceeding ten miles square) as may, by cession of particular States, and the acceptance of Congress, become the seat of the government of the United States, and to exercise like authority over all places purchased by the consent of the Legislature of the State in which the same shall be, for the erection of forts, magazines, arsenals, dock-yards, and other needful buildings;—and,

To make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this Constitution in the government of the United States, or in any department or officer thereof. (affect added)

The words are plain. The exclusive legislation is for the district, the duties, departments and officers thereof. Any erection of forts, magazines, arsenals, dock-yards, and other needful buildings is only by the consent of the Sate affected.

The bottom line is the new organization had rules to operate said organization. The people of each state are not part of the by-laws (legal codes, rules, acts and statutes). This can further be understood by the distinction between types of citizens.

No person, except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; (affect added)

Notice, a President can either be a natural born citizen or a citizen of the United States. So, any man or woman born in a state is a natural born, but not necessarily a citizen of the United States. Why make the distinction if not intentional?

Bill of Rights

1789 Constitution with the Bill of Rights - Not 1787

The Bill of Rights was created for the following reasons:

THE Conventions of a number of the States having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best insure the beneficent ends of its institution.

The Bill of Rights were added as part of the 1789 Constitution. The first 10 Amendments clearly state “people” and only reference “person” as a singular but in context to “people”. So, the presumption is that a living and breathing man and/or woman as part of the “people” can be a natural person. No changes can be made to these first 10 (later 12) amendments without three fourths of the States legislatures. At that time, there were 13 States. That is also clarified by the 9 states required to ratify; and that was expressly written. This was covered in the ratification of the 1787 Constitution in a previous article.

After the 10th amendment, the words and styling changes. The references to “citizens” becomes “Citizens” in matching to “States” and “Foreign States” (meaning foreign nations that are not part of the Union of nation-states). There is also a distinct difference in the use of the word “person” to one with a role having duties and responsibilities. Please read the definition in Black’s Law Dictionary 2nd and 5th editions to see the evolving of the definition of the word “person”. This was also covered in previous articles.

The biggest change upon the addition of the new 13th amendment after Lincoln’s War is the ability of Congress, not the States through ratification, to enforce amendments upon any federal U.S. Citizen from amendment 13 on… This change also comes with a new class, called “persons” as defined by Black’s Law Dictionary and clarified in the 5th edition as an entity, corporation, county, etc… and not a man or woman. Basically, as a U.S. Citizen (voluntary decision), a man or woman converts themselves to a slave of the federal government and are subject to its whims. You are now part of the organization and not a free man or woman. By the creation of US Citizens through the new amendments from 13 on, a new class of “persons” was created that are subject to the organization of the federal government. As a result, by becoming a U.S. Citizen, an individual changes their status from a natural born man or woman in the state of birth or naturalization, with all the prior rights as a creation of the Creator, into a U.S. Citizen with duties, responsibilities, rights and privileges defined and restricted by the rules, codes, acts, statutes and legislation created by the new organization of the United States of America. It is a decision to be a U.S. Citizen vs. a natural born man or woman of the state in which you were born or naturalized.

So, with that in mind, reread the first 10 amendments. These were clarifying things that were “hands-off” for the federal government related to the people of the states. The federal government was explicitly commanded to not interfere with their lives while making it abundantly clear that the first 10 amendments are for clarity, not as a debated discussion on freedom. The other clear distinction is the Constitution was for the federal government to deal with international (between States) standards for disputes, and global trade and taxes. It had NOTHING to do with state rules or taxes, or individual man and woman (non-U.S. Citizens) law if it did not affect cross State disputes. Re-read the Constitution and contemplate this realization in context as clarified by the secretary minutes of the Continental Congress conventions… the words are clear and plain.

To drive this home even further, please read Article VI of the 1787 Constitution.

Article VI

All Debts contracted and Engagements entered into, before the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution, as under the Confederation.

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any state to the Contrary notwithstanding.

Notice the capitus diminutio clarifying words and the stylized meanings of each word highlighted above (for effect). So, debts before the Constitution are valid for the United States just as they were for the Confederation (shows there are two organizations).

“Laws of the United States” are “Laws of the Land”. And the Judges in every State are bound. However, Laws of any state hold higher authority. This clarifying styling is throughout the founding documents and makes a clear delineation of roles, authority, and enforcement. By choosing to be part of the federal government as a U.S. Citizen, a man or woman chooses to be subject to those Laws. If maintaining status as a national in a state, you are free as a creation of the Creator as long as you cause no harm to another. If harm is caused then natural and common law are in effect.

As a close to this article, please consider the difference in freedom (defined in a previous article) if you are a U.S. Citizen created after the 13th amendment, versus the natural born or naturalized state man or woman. The status chosen makes a big difference of who you are and what you are or are not subject to…

It has been a time between posts as i have been moving and dealing with the workload associated with changing physical locations.

The next series of articles will start to address actual terms we often confuse, and we think they mean something they do not. This is by design. We are NOT taught the correct words. If a word is not spelled the same, then it means something different. Start keeping a tally of the number of times in a day you use the word “person”. The pen is mightier than the sword… (Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1839)
