My Students in my Basic Course in Law and Government learn constitutional law the only way it should be learned¾directly from the Organic Law of the United States of America: the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776, Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777, the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 and the Constitution of September 17, 1787.

What States are guaranteed a republican form of government?  The guarantee is a disguised command.  The Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787, which required the States of the Northwest Territory: Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and part of Minnesota to form temporary governments, which “shall be republican, and in conformity to the principles contained in these articles,” set a minimum standard for the States of “this Union,” meaning the States, whose territory was comprised of territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America. 

The Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 made the Northwest Territory a part of the Confederacy, the United States of America formed by the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777.  That incorporation did not make the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and part of Minnesota States of “the Union,” meaning the first and perpetual Union, the United States of America.  What the Northwest Ordinance did was temporary, for only a few weeks.  The Constitution of September 17, 1787 made “this Union” permanent by setting aside the federal territory within the state of the perpetual Union where territorial jurisdiction could attach.

What United States guarantees “every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government?”  The Confederacy known as the United States of America can only guarantee the States in the territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America.  Article II of the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 leaves every member State with all it retained.  Article II: “Each state retains its sovereignty, freedom and independence, and every Power, Jurisdiction and right, which is not by this confederation expressly delegated to the United States, in Congress assembled.”

My Basic Course in Law and Government teaches the Student how to prove all written law in America is based on a Constitution limited to the territory actually owned by and the territorial jurisdiction of which is ceded to the United States of America.  Since April 30, 1789 every President Elect, since George Washington, has taken an oral oath of Office of President of the United States, which avoids being bound to a written Constitution.  George Washington and every President of the United States after him has taken an oath to “preserve, protect and defend” the property and territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America.  That President and the Congress of the United States make the written laws for the United States of America.

George Washington added a prohibited Article VI “religious Test” to the oath of Office of President of the United States:

“I, George Washington, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. So help me God.”        

 Adding “So help me God” to the oral oath of Office of President of the United States, was Washington’s way of covering his tracks to the office of Presidential Dictator, the President of the United States.  Why is the President of the United States a dictator?  Very simply, there are no qualifications for the office and no term limits.

Article VII Clause 1 of “this Constitution:”

The Ratification of the Conventions of nine States, shall be sufficient for the Establishment of this Constitution between the States so ratifying the Same.

The Constitution of the United States, when ratified by nine States, springs to life, as a different Constitution for any territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America within the nine States, which ratify “this Constitution.”  This territory belonging to the United States of America is the “Land” as in the “Law of the Land.”

 

George Washington, elected to the Office of President of the United States of America, was vested with “[T]he executive Power” of Article II Section 1 Clause 1 of “this Constitution.”  If the President of the United States of America was vested with all the executive power, what kind of duties were imposed on the President of the United States in Article I Section 7 Clauses 2 and 3?

The duties imposed on the President of the United States by Article I Section 7 Clause 2 and 3 are clearly legislative:

Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States; If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the Objections at large on their Journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such Reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the Bill, it shall be sent, together with the Objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that House, it shall become a Law. But in all such Cases the Votes of both Houses shall be determined by yeas and Nays, and the Names of the Persons voting for and against the Bill shall be entered on the Journal of each House respectively. If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law. 

Every Order, Resolution, or Vote to which the Concurrence of the Senate and House of Representatives may be necessary (except on a question of Adjournment) shall be presented to the President of the United States; and before the Same shall take Effect, shall be approved by him, or being disapproved by him, shall be repassed by two thirds of the Senate and House of Representatives, according to the Rules and Limitations prescribed in the Case of a Bill.

The original intent of “this Constitution” was to permit the institution of a Constitution of the United States for the territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America and that Constitution would describe a government consisting of “a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives,” a President of the United States and a Chief Justice. 

Following this original intent of the Constitution of the United States, George Washington, as President of the United States of America, appointed himself President of the United States and took the oral oath of that Office on April 30, 1789.  Thereafter, acting upon the authority granted and the duty imposed on the President of the United States, George Washington was presented with Bills, which had been enacted into law by “a Congress of the United States.”

The original intent of both the Constitution of the United States and “this Constitution” was to limit the power of legislation only to territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America.   

Today’s constitutional scholars don’t have a clue what the original intent of the Framers of the Constitution was.  Fraud was on the minds of the Founding Fathers and they kept that hidden by meeting in secret.  Learning the truth about “this Constitution” and the Constitution of the United States is what the Basic Course in Law and Government is all about.  To become a Student, contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com

The First Congress met for the first time on March 4, 1789, 221 years ago, today, in New York City.   The First Congress is a creation of the Union of eleven States, which ratified the Constitution of September 17, 1787.  Technically, the Union of the United States, began as a Union of the nine States, which had ratified “this Constitution,” the Constitution of September 17, 1787.  Another technicality is that “this Union” can also be called the “Constitution of the United States,” because that Union is comprised of territory belonging to the United States of America.  The Constitution of the United States is not the Constitution of September 17, 1787. 

Another one of the definitions of the word “constitution” is the basic principles and laws of a nation/State that determine the power and duties of the government.   Once created, a government can enact laws for citizens, who owe allegiance to the nation/State.  When nine States ratified “this Constitution,” the two kinds of constitutions described above came into being.  A special government almost like the one described in Article I of “this Constitution” took the place of the one required to take the binding Article VI oath “to support this Constitution” 

Persons eligible to be Representatives under the Constitution of September 17, 1787 must be Citizens of the United States, which can only mean the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777, survive the ratification of “this Constitution,” the Constitution of September 17, 1787.  The continuation of the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 is confirmed by the requirement that the Representatives be Inhabitants of the States from which they are chosen.  

Senators selected by the eleven State legislatures, who met with the elected Representatives of the First Congress on March 4, 1789, do not meet the eligibility for Office set by Article I Section 3 Clause 3:

No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen.

Because the first Senators of the First Congress had to be Citizens of the United States for nine years, no person would qualify until March 1, 1781, the date, Maryland, the thirteenth State ratified the Articles of Confederation creating the United States of America.  Members of the First Congress do not, because of the ineligibility of the first Senators, take the Article VI oath “to support this Constitution.”  The first act of the First Congress is to create a statutory oath of office for a Union of eleven States consisting of any territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America.

Two hundred and twenty one years ago the First Congress acted as if it had the power to tax in all America and to make laws for every individual American.  The truth is Congress is limited to the territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America.  To learn how to prove the Congress of the United States is limited to federal territory, you must enroll in the only course that can teach you how the Founding Fathers fooled everyone for one and eleven score years.  Put your faith in your ability to discern the truth and claim your freedom by contacting me at edrivera@edrivera.com

George Washington and Patrick Henry would be on any list of Founding Fathers, however, there is no doubt in my mind that Washington committed multiple frauds in getting the Constitution of September 17, 1787 accepted as legal precedent that the a new “Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives,” could directly tax and legislate for individual Americans.

When Patrick Henry was asked to participate in the secret Constitutional Convention of May 25, 1787, he passed on the opportunity, because he smelled a rat.  George Washington may have been that rat or maybe it was the secrecy of the proceedings.  We shall probably never know.

What we can learn is, to paraphrase General George Patton, “Is George Washington, as big a son of a bitch, as uncovered constitutional history is showing him to be.”

In order to make the study of law manageable, I divide law into written and unwritten law.  The Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776 does the same thing, but for a different purpose.  The unwritten “Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God” are the laws the Declaration of Independence called upon to sever all “Political Bands” with Great Britain and its monarch George III.  God does not impose taxation only government can do that, however, the king of England claimed power from God to impose taxes on all those who he claimed to be his subjects and their property. 

The political bands Americans were most anxious to sever with the mother country were taxation of every kind, of which there are two: direct and indirect.  Direct taxes are imposed on subjects of government and their property by the sheer force of government power.  Indirect taxes are imposed by the legislative power of government, which was held by Parliament.  Independence from Great Britain would end direct taxation in America by ending the political and military power of Great Britain in America; Americans would no longer be subjects and their property would no longer be within the realm of the United Kingdom, provided George III voluntarily removed his military forces from America.  Without political power in America, Parliament’s power to impose indirect taxation by legislation would be limited to the United Kingdom.

The delivery of the written Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776 to His Britannic Majesty, was insufficient to end British taxation in America.  It would take a protracted War of Independence to end Great Britain’s power to tax in America.  At the successful conclusion of that war, a “Definitive Treaty of Peace between the United States of America and His Britannic Majesty,” was concluded at Paris, France on September 3, 1783.  In Article I of that Treaty, Great Britain gave up its power to tax in the United States of America:       

His Britannic Majesty acknowledges the said United States, viz., New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, to be free sovereign and independent states, that he treats with them as such, and for himself, his heirs, and successors, relinquishes all claims to the government, propriety, and territorial rights of the same and every part thereof.

Britain’s power to govern and tax the United States of America began to ebb with the Declaration of  Rights of 1765 and was totally lost when Lord Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown.  Great Britain collected direct and indirect taxes from America people the same way they have collected since ancient times.  King George III’s tax collectors were backed up by the world’s greatest military power.   As soon as Great Britain suffered a major military defeat at the hands of the Americans, all power to govern and to tax to pay for that government was at an end.  George III lost the power to govern the thirteen states long before he formally gave them up, however, the Treaty of Paris conveyed substantial power to the Confederacy, the United States of America, which negotiated on behalf of the States. 

The Treaty of Paris of 1783 may have officially ended British taxation in America, but it provided the so-called Founding Fathers, Framers of the Constitution, with a written source of taxation in America, if they could just figure out a way to extend King George III’s proprietary and territorial power over the Northwest Territory to the rest of the United States of America.  We know, today, that is exactly what they did.

George Washington turned America into a police state 221 years ago, when he took an oral oath to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States,” which was good enough for government work after being ratified by only nine States.  As a unanimous vote of thirteen States would be required to repeal the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777, and replace it with the Constitution of September 17, 1787, another Confederacy was not created by the Constitution of the United States.  The first nine States to ratify “this Constitution” created a Union of federally dependent governments of the federal territory within those states.  Nothing in the Constitution of September 17, 1787 required “this Constitution” to be ratified by all thirteen States of the original Union, so with only eleven States of the original thirteen in the Union, Congress began the legislative process for all the territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America.

Instead of being bound by an Article VI  written oath “to support this Constitution,” George Washington took the oral oath of the Office of President of the United States  that allowed him to become Commander in Chief, Chief Magistrate and Dictator in the style of a Roman Republic.  Thus, was the American police state born.

The motto of the City of Los Angeles Police Department is “To protect and serve” not much different from the oath of Office George Washington took, but, of which, he left no official written record.  All law enforcement personnel take an oath similar to the one George Washington took:

“I, George Washington, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. So help me God.”        

Many think the police state is imminent in America.  My Students know the details of how George Washington created it beginning April 30, 1789.  To start your education, contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com

George Washington took over the federal government by pretending that he was taking an oath of office that would bind him “to support this Constitution.”  No one taking an oral oath can be bound to any written promise and no President of the United States has ever promised in writing “to support this Constitution.”  George Washington whispered his oath to 10,000 witnesses, but that had no effect on validity of the oath.  Barack Hussein Obama tried to make the oath before millions with similar results.

George Washington began government’s capture of the law and Barack Hussein Obama is trying to take over the practice of medicine, by using federal law.

We know George Washington took the oral oath of Office of President of the United States, because Washington was elected too early to qualify for the Article II Section 1 Clause 5, Office of President and he didn’t need to take any oath to be President of the United States of America.  The “fourteen Years a Resident within the United States” requirement for the person who would fill the Office of President kept Washington from filing that Office.  George Washington was elected to the Office of President of the United States of America on February 4, 1789 and he became President of the United States on April 30, 1789 by taking the oath of office on that date.

George Washington lawfully held both the Office of President of the United States of America and the Office of President of the United States, because nine States under Article IX of the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 had the power to create a Committee of States and appoint a President and they did so by ratifying “this Constitution.”  The Senate was that Committee and George Washington was that President. The Constitution of September 17, 1787 set forth the oath of Office of President of the United States, however, the Congress of the United States had to establish that Office by Law, which it did beginning March 4, 1789.  The Office of President was never “established by Law by the Congress of the United States, so it has always remained vacant.     

So who can nominate and make appointments?

He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law; but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or  in the Heads of Departments. Article II Section 2 Clause 2 Constitution of September 17, 1787

It is now obvious that only the President of the United States of America has the power to make Treaties, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, appoint “Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for.”

The first President of the United States is not elected, he is one of those “Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for,” George Washington appointed himself to that Office by taking the only oral oath in the Constitution of September 17, 1787.

My Students learn how to prove State government in California is part of the Union of States first started by the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787.  That law was one of the few laws the Congress of the United States, under the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777, could make.  It is well known that the Congress under the Articles of Confederation had no law making power over the states of the first Union, the United States of America.

The United States of America, the Confederacy, under the authority of the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777, acquired through the 1783 Treaty of Paris, the peace treaty between Great Britain and the United States of America, power to govern the Northwest Territory and to exercise all proprietary and territorial power over that land, which would become the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and part of Minnesota.  Through the exercise of those powers Congress under the Articles, the United States in Congress assembled, issued the Northwest Ordinance as a temporary law establishing a tentative government and a process for selling the land in that Territory.  Any unsold land would forever remain territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America and would constitute the territory of the second “more perfect Union” under the terms of a permanent version of the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787, the Constitution of September 17, 1787.

Citizens of the United States identified in the Constitution of September 17, 1787 were Americans who bound themselves to the law embraced within the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787.  Most of the temporary provisions in the Ordinance appear to have been incorporated into the Constitution of September 17, 1787, and any that were not, were enacted into statutory law by the First Congress, on August 7, 1789, when the entire Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 was made federal law.

Each of the 50 States of the United States, the second “more perfect Union,” must have a patch of sovereign ground (territory) where its laws can attach that territory is the territory within the State owned by and ceded to the United States of America.  Right now most Californians consent to be governed by erroneously believing they are citizens of the United States and residents of the State of California. 

If you live within a state, but not on territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America, you can easily learn the law and how government is supposed to work by becoming one of my Students.  Contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com
