Understanding Law in the U.S.THE LAW OF THE LAND
The Constitution is pretty straight forward. Most people when they read it (or if they read it!), can understand what it says. For example, taking the 1st Amendment which reads as follows: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,"
-[I.e. Congress cannot make a law specific to a denomination or religion], That's no so hard. The law is pretty straight forward. You do not need a lawyer of judge to understand the law, in fact if you do, then it is not law! See the section on Common-Law must be understood by the common man. There are so many tremendous rights our Founding Fathers embedded within the constitution to prevent the government from messing with us. Like the right to bear arms - The government cannot tell us we can't have pistol grips on our rifles! The right to bear arms was established so that we the people had just as powerful weapons as the government (See 2nd Amendment). Rights can't diminish either, see opposite:
Common LawCommon Law dictates that there are three mandatory elements for every criminal charge:
The core construct to English Common Law, verses other legal constructs such as Roman Dutch Las is the construct of "innocent until proven guilty". Under Roman Dutch Law, which has typically been employed by tyrannical regimes, you are "guilty until proven innocent". |
Rights Shall Not DiminishRemember your rights cannot diminish - any right you are granted cannot later be taken away by the government U.S. Const. Amend IX:
The 9th is critical law which wipes out most of what the government has passed, including the right to be free of property taxes, including the Patriot Act, including all the Presidential Executive Orders like Roosevelt's theft of gold, the draft, bench warrants, traffic tickets, the governments claim to sovereign immunity etc. etc. Again, there is no ambiguity here. The 9th Amendment is blatantly clear and literal. So what is going on? What on earth are lawyers, judges, the president and Congress up to? Heloo, anybody got a brain? Perhaps we have lost our mouth (1st amendment) and our arms (2nd amendment) and that is the only reason why we have become slaves to another tyrannical Police State. For example in England, the Queen claimed that because God put her on the throne, she could commit no wrong and she therefore claimed "sovereign immunity". However, Art. I Sec. 9 of the U.S. Constitution dictates:
It is impossible for government employees to claim 'sovereign immunity' for crimes they commit.
Trial By Jury or JudgeThe U.S. Constitution guarantees any person accused of a crime the right to choose a Trial by Judge or a Trial By Jury (U.S. Const. Art III, Sec 2; U.S. Const. Amend VI) and any party to a civil matter entailing damages of more than $20 also has the right to choose between a Trial By Judge or a Trial By Jury (U.S. Const. Amend VII). And that such trials shall be speedy and follow due process. The elements of a Trial By Jury are so critically important we have placed them on a separate page. The most critically important element is to realize that you the Jury members decide on both the Law and the Fact - The Courts are treasonously denying this well established right. |
Criminal vs. Civil Law
The Constitution distinguishes between Criminal and Civil law and identifies Common Law as the underlying law for both. However the Constitutions, both Federal and State overrule Common Law.
Civil Law: provides remedy for wrongs
Criminal Law: provides punishment for wrongs
Public Law and Private Law:
Lawyers and Courts tend to differentiate between Public and Private Law. Public Law is the Law of the Land Private Law deals with contracts between persons. A person can either be an human or a corporation. Contracts under Private Law can effectively enforce almost anything. All law is however under Public Law.
Contracts
A contract is an agreement that involves the exchange of legal rights (to money, property, one’s labor, etc.). Anything can be put in a contract, however, contracts cannot undermine the Law of the land, you can still be criminally liable/responsible. Failure to perform one’s part of an agreement can lead to a charge of breach of contract. It is suggested that much of our government's actions against us are conducted under the guise of Contract Law - that is they get us to agree to be subject to contractual obligations, such as in signing a ticket they get us to agree to appear in "Their Court" under "Their Code" - see Infractions.
Law of Torts
Tort law is concerned with breaches of legal duty that result in some kind of injury that merits compensation. Torts are used to categorize allegations. There are three major Tort categories: Intentional torts, negligence, and strict liability:
- Intentional Torts: Trespass, defamation (libel/slander), assault and battery, and false imprisonment.
- Negligence: A breach of the duty of “due care”. Everyone in society has a duty to refrain from taking unreasonable risks associated with certain kinds of actions and omissions.
- Strict Liability: Strict liability torts involve narrow classes of action where the person performing the action is liable for harms he produces even if the harms are unintentional and could not have been prevented by exercising reasonable care.
Liability
Strict Liability: (No 'Mens Rea'/'willful intent' requirement):
Criminal Liability: Liable only if actually aware of the harmful or
wrongful nature of his/her conduct.
Objective Liability: Liable if a reasonable person in relevantly similar
circumstances would have been aware of the wrongful nature of or the
harm resulting from his/her act.
