The Bridges of Our Unique Republic Under God - Part I

Reflecting and Relating, among the 5W’s and H of our Republic’s Destruction - Part II:

“Declaration of Constitutional Principles”

Jon Roland, Founder Constitution Society

"Whereas, during the course of history usurpers have attempted to misconstrue certain principles of constitutional republican government for their own ends, and that the original language of the Constitution for the United States did not anticipate all the ways it might be misinterpreted, we hereby set forth some of those principles with greater clarity, using more modern language:

General Principles:

- The individual component of the polity is the person, which is defined as any being consisting of or having the essential cognitive attributes of a member of the species homo sapiens, including both the capacity to compete with others for the means to exercise the natural rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and the capacity to regulate its competitive actions to avoid depriving others of those rights and to sacrifice itself for the greater good of the polity as a whole or for their common posterity.

- The polity, or society, is created by the social contract, in which persons agree to join together for mutual benefit and defense, and to regulate their behavior to avoid forms of competition which are destructive of social coherence and effectiveness, such as violence, deception, or collusion, coercion or to infringe on the rights of others.

- Acceptance of the terms of the social contract is effected through, and based upon, a restricted form of the social contract called the filial contract, between parents and their children, in which the parents agree to be good parents and the children agree to be good children and to grow into good adults and members of society. As persons grow, they extend the social contract to others they encounter.

- The social contract is transitive, so that it extends to and includes not only those with whom one is in direct contact, but all those with whom those one is in direct contact with are bound to by the social contract as well, and therefore by recursion to all those persons who are members of the society, even if one has never met them.

- A state is a society in exclusive possession of a territory. It is not the government. A state may or may not have a government, although larger ones almost always do.

- A citizen is a person who has the civil right to remain within the territory of a state and to return to it if he leaves it, the right to delegate powers to agents who comprise any government of that state, and the duty to defend that state.

- A government consists of those persons to whom certain powers held by the citizens in common are delegated, to act as agents for those citizens, exercising only such powers as are delegated to them, and according to their instructions. That delegation and those instructions constitute an extension of the basic social contract called the constitution, which may be written or unwritten.

- A delegation of powers is not a transfer or assignment, and may be reclaimed at any time that the citizens, in their judgement, find that their agents are not acting in accordance with their wishes.
[This is the ONLY nation in the history of mankind able to perform and institute "..evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government..." and Article I:6 and Article II:4.]

- The authority of an agent or official exists only for as long and to the extent that he exercises his legitimate powers properly, and he automatically ceases to be an agent or official if he exceeds his authority. ... .

- Upon establishment of the social contract, the natural right of what in the state of nature would be self defense is transformed into the duty to defend the state and the constitution, including
oneself as a member of the state.

- Defense of the state and the constitution includes defense against threats of all kinds, including invasion or attack, insurrection, criminal acts, natural or manmade disasters, or public [and private person(s)] ignorance or apathy.

- The duty to defend the state and the constitution entails the right to acquire the means and the skills to exercise that duty, including the skills of the soldier, the policeman, and the fire and rescue worker, to be organized to act alone or in concert with others to exercise those skills to meet any threat that may arise, and the power to exercise those skills and use those means, alone or in concert with others, with or without official direction or participation.

- A citizen not only has the duty to obey the law [which are the Laws of Nature and Of Nature’s God], but to help enforce it, within his ability, and to do what he can to prepare himself and others to do so.

- In a constitutional republic, the constitution is the supreme law, superior to all other public acts, whether by officials or private citizens. Any statute, regulation, executive order, or court ruling which is inconsistent with that supreme law and not derived from it is unconstitutional and  null and void from inception.

- There are several ways in which statutes or other official acts may be unconstitutional: [We’ll skip this 12 part, subsection, Hamilton Test for Legislation, for now...It is included...]

- An unconstitutional statute is not a law, no matter how vigorously it may be enforced. Enforcement does not make what is enforced the law. What is enforced is a regime. In a
constitutional republic, the law and the regime should coincide. If they do not, the regime is not law but anti-law.

- Whenever any person is confronted with a situation in which two or more official acts are in conflict, he has the duty to know which is the superior one, and to obey or help enforce the superior one, which, if one of them is the constitution, means to obey or help enforce the constitution. This duty cannot be delegated to another person: not to a superior, a court, or a legal adviser. It is not a defense that one was ignorant of the law or just doing one's job or following orders. This is sometimes called the Principle of Nuremberg. [This is important part of enforcing The Ten Commandments; and God’s commands regarding the responsibility of “The Sentinel” or “The Guardian” in Ezekiel 33; and in the Integrity of each-one-person,
+/- 6,881,496,993 , on God’s Planet, to himself and to others, and in our Both our Declaration of Independence to the Preamble and Article IV:4 Republican form of government – our Nation]

- The judgement of the consistency of an official act with the constitution is called constitutional review. When this duty is performed by a judge, it is called judicial review. It is not a power of government but the exercise of a duty of citizenship.”

“Declaration of Constitutional Principles” bridges the Constitution to the Lessons, Instruction, and enforcement in the Declaration, the Laws of Both Founding Documents.

Contrary to popular belief, including the Article III Judiciary’s court rulings and among church denomination with ecclesiastics, there is a direct connection, written by the Founders (and the Colonists of 1770), of God to Both Documents, therefore The Gospel: The Preamble to the Constitution, which establishes Person as the subject of protection, and Article II and VI: Oath of Office - each-one-individual elected or otherwise, official of government, Integrity in Promise to preserve, protect, and defend the rights and privileges of any American whether within the territory of a State or the whole of the polity of our Article IV:4 Republican Form of Government which guarantees protection from invasion, attack and infringement of rights.

These Principles, along with “separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them....Certain Unalienable Rights...which from God as gifts to each-individual-Person - on God’s Planet; and

God created man in His own image. God’s image does not include anatomy, physiology, neurology of Body.   Person is composed of Body and Soul (http://1828.mshaffer.com/d/word/person  ); and includes Man, Woman, and Child; therefore, Person’s Soul, his most valuable property conscience, is “Religion and Morality”.  The reason there is no physical or environmental descriptions of “person” beyond essential cognitive attributes.

Religion is "1. Religion, in its most comprehensive sense, includes a belief in the being and perfections of God, in the revelation of his will to man, in man's obligation to obey his commands, in a state of reward and punishment, and in man's accountableness to God; and also true godliness or piety of life, with the practice of all moral duties." http://1828.mshaffer.com/d/word/religion

These Principles, along with “Bills and Resolutions”, Thomas.gov, will be used to demonstrate and encourage each-one-of-you, to write and enforce the Laws of Both Founding Documents of our unique in mankind’s history, Republic under God.

You have never seen, nor have you any knowledge of the 5W’s and H that encompasses how We the People shall petition and use Resolution, to instill in our “Representatives”, not Congress-members, that they are, indeed, accountable to each-one-Citizen and to their person to God, or the Morality of Affirmation.

The first lesson will have occurred by the time you read this, but will be offered before the formal meetings begin, all around this County and in other Counties, until each and every American of God and Nation First, understand that “And assume among the powers of the earth..”  Means You, and all those you know within the multitude of your life’s roles.

Joseph Andrews Acronym, 4R’s of classical Leaning methods of the Founders, will be utilized: Research, Reflect-ponder, the most important connector: Relate-reason- If, ..then; Record - take action.

As Glenn Beck has said “I think we’re closer to the Truth. The power resides in you, the individual. The power is not in Washington. It is closer to home.”.

In fact, if We the People of this ‘watch’, ”course of Human Events” remains passive or subservient to the number, Majority, absent God’s Laws and Reason, your children and their children’s children, shall live in abject slavery per Samuel Adams: “....if we would most truly enjoy the gift of Heaven, let us become a virtuous people; then shall we both deserve and enjoy it. While, on the other hand, if we are universally vicious and debauched in our manners, though the form of our constitution carries the face of the most exalted freedom, we shall in reality be the most abject slaves.”.
