The Language of the Laws: Common Law Marriage, Gay Marriage and Same Sex Marriage
Filed Under Article II Section 1 Clause 8, COMMON LAW, GAY MARRIAGE | Leave a Comment
What do these English word combinations have in common? They all describe a human adult relationship which is not widely recognized by American written law although gay and same sex marriages are finding wider acceptance among the public and written law courts.
Ironically, as more States legalize same sex marriage, recognition of common law marriages is actually declining among the several States of the United States. George and Martha Washington were married pursuant to English common law, which meant permission to marry from the government in the form of a marriage license was not required. Government intrusion into human affairs has grown in America ever since April 30, 1789, when George Washington took this oral oath: “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.”
Modern technology has transformed that oral oath for the fledgling presidential dictatorship and administration of the territory owned by or subject to the exclusive legislative power of the United States of America into a clarion call for countrywide fascism. American governments are constantly offering “government” benefits to attract supporters of increased government and gay couples seeking government sanctioned connubial bliss are just the current targets.
When George and Martha Washington married there was no federal Defense of Marriage Act, their marriage was a common law marriage meaning a “legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife.” The growth of written law and government beyond the territory owned by or subject to the exclusive legislative power of the United States of America has reached the point of absurdity. Today, George Washington’s marriage to Martha Custis would not be recognized by a majority of the States of the United States and the federal government would consider the Defense of Marriage Act, the federal law, which treats common law type marriages as the only valid ones, to be an unconstitutional law.
All the law caused cruelties, injustices in America and uncontrolled government growth are the result of allowing the written law to be applied outside the territory subject to the legislative power of the United States of America or of any of the several States of the United States. The simple way to end legal cruelty, injustice and limit government is to learn the Organic Laws of the United States of America, and taking my “Basic Course in Law and Government” is the only way to quickly learn Organic Law.

WHAT IS THE CONSTITUTIONAL LAW OF MARRIAGE AND DRIVING LICENSES?
Filed Under Adoption, Articles of Confederation, COMMON LAW, CONSTITUTION, Declaration of Independence, GAY MARRIAGE, LAW OF THE LAND, LEARNING THE LAW, Northwest Ordinance, Oath of Office, ORGANIC LAWS, PROPRIETARY POWER, Territorial Jurisdiction | 1 Comment
First, let’s review. The four Organic Laws of the United States of America represent four different constitutions above the level of the States. The Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776 mentions an unwritten Constitution: “He has combined with others to subject us to a Jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution, and unacknowledged by our Laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation.” The Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 become the Constitution for the Confederacy, the United States of America, when Maryland becomes the thirteenth State, to ratify the Articles on March 1, 1781. The Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 is the Constitution for the temporary government for the Northwest Territory legislated by the United States in Congress assembled under the authority of the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777. The Constitution of September 17, 1787 is a combination of the implementation of Article X of the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 and a finalization of the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 into the Constitution of the United States.
Driver’s licenses had to await the invention of the automobile and marriage licenses wouldn’t be widely deployed by a majority of the States as their opposition to mixed race common law marriages until the 1920’s. It may safely be said that none of the framers of the four Organic Laws of the United States of America contemplated the future existence of the driver’s license or the government’s modern role in licensing marriages in America, so the constitutional law basis of these two modern institutions must be found in the lesser known Constitutions of the United States of America.
Operators of automobiles and couples to marriage contracts were subjected to State licensing, taxation and regulation pursuant to an alleged exercise of the State’s police power. The police power is a remnant of the English law under the monarchy which gave the monarchy the power to maintain the king’s peace in the kingdom. Independence and separation from Great Britain should have eliminated the power of the newly liberated States to assert police power over the people of those states.
The monarchical police power of King George III over the Northwest Territory was conveyed to the United States of America via the Treaty of Paris of 1783 and from that document the United States in Congress assembled funneled the police power into the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787. All the monarchical power over the Northwest Territory was now reposed in the oligarchy known as the United States in Congress assembled.
The Constitution of September 17, 1787 created the dictatorship of the American Presidency, the details of which can be found throughout these Posts. In short, the constitutional law of marriage and driver’s licenses is found in the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 and the Constitution of September 17, 1787. Learning the constitutional law of marriage and driver’s licenses requires more than just a quick reading of “the Constitution.”
Knowing constitutional law requires full knowledge of all four Organic Laws of the United States of America and the only way to acquire that knowledge is to read and study those laws. I will e-mail a full set of the Organic Laws in a searchable format to everyone who contacts me at edrivera@edrivera.com I will include full details of a trial offer of my $500 “Basic Course in Law and Government” for $50.

LOVE AND MARRIAGES AND POLITICS MAKE STRANGE BEDFELLOWS
Filed Under Adoption, COMMON LAW, CONSTITUTION, CRIMINAL LAW, LAW OF THE LAND, PROPRIETARY POWER | Leave a Comment
George and Martha Washington had the kind of marriage Frank Sinatra would sing about many years later:
Love and marriage, love and marriage,
Go together like a horse and carriage.
This I tell ya, brother, you can’t have one without the other.
While Sinatra crooned, the kind of common law marriage George and Martha Washington had enjoyed slowly became a relic of the past. The State of California along with many other States no longer recognizes common law marriages. In the recent presidential election, the voters of two States legalized same sex marriages by requiring county clerks to sell marriage licenses to same sex couples. Once those couples complied with the same paperwork requirements as heterosexual couples, their marriages would be recorded just like any other in the State’s records.
Government licensing can make gay marriage legal, but a common law marriage can’t be made illegal by a heterosexual couple’s refusal to buy a State marriage license. Heterosexual marriage is the indisputable primary unalienable right of all people and the likely beginning of all governments.
What makes it possible for government either by its citizens, its legislature or its judiciary to legalize same sex marriage by written law, while it is powerless to punish those heterosexual couples who marry without first obtaining a marriage license? Obviously, the power of a heterosexual couple to produce new human life is not subject to government control, regulation or taxation. Government created by written law is fundamentally limited by the language of its creation to a place and that place is the territory owned by or subject to the exclusive legislative power of the United States of America. Within that territory every human endeavor may be regulated and taxed save one, the consensual marriage between a man and a woman.

JURY DUTY IN CALIFORNIA
Filed Under Articles of Confederation, COMMON LAW, CONSTITUTION, Fourteenth Amendment, JURY DUTY, Northwest Ordinance, ORGANIC LAWS | Leave a Comment
With only a few exceptions, the English common law is the law in California. However, as very few people are aware of that legal fact, statute law has been widely applied outside of the State of California, the territory owned by or subject to the exclusive legislative power of the United States of America. To show how State of California statute law has been extended beyond the territory just described, I will explain the meaning of the requirement in the State of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 203 that a juror must be a “domiciliary of the State of California.”
Pursuant to the Organic Laws: Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776, Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777, Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 and Constitution of September 17, 1787 the United States of America has conferred concurrent jurisdiction over its territory in California. Concurrent jurisdiction is acknowledged in Article 3 Section 1 of the Constitution of the State of California: “The State of California is an inseparable part of the United States of America, and the United States Constitution is the supreme law of the land.” Article 4 of the Northwest Ordinance makes the State of California forever part of the Confederacy: “The said territory, and the States which may be formed therein, shall forever remain a part of this Confederacy of the United States of America, subject to the Articles of Confederation, and to such alterations therein as shall be constitutionally made; and to all the acts and ordinances of the United States in Congress assembled, conformable thereto. The inhabitants and settlers in the said territory shall be subject to pay a part of the federal debts contracted or to be contracted.”
The Constitution of the United States provides for no less than three Citizens of the United States. In Article I Section 2 Clause 2 provision is made for a Citizen of the United States within territory where the age of majority is attained at eighteen, the territory owned by or subject to the exclusive legislative power of the United States of America. In Article I Section 3 Clause 3, a Citizen of the United States is without the United States, so the age of majority is age twenty-one years. The third citizen of the United States is a Fourteenth Amendment citizen, who must be born or naturalized in the United States, the territory owned by or subject to the exclusive legislative power of the United States of America.
The State of California Constitution Article 3 Section 1 definition of the State of California and the State of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 203 requirement that a juror be at minimum a citizen of the United States and a domiciliary of the State of California makes it nearly impossible for any Californian to qualify as a juror. In order for the State of California to be both an inseparable part of the United States of America and a place where a citizen of the United States might have a domicile, the State of California must be a habitable place. To be an inseparable part of the Confederacy, the State of California must be the territory owned by or subject to the exclusive legislative power of the United States of America.
The initial formation of the Confederacy under the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 did not involve a transfer of any territory that constituted any part of the original territory of the thirteen States. The Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 Article 4 transfers of territory to the Confederacy consisted of the territory to remain under the ownership of the United States of America and would remain subject to the exclusive legislative power of the United States of America.
In order for a Californian to qualify as a juror that Californian would have to have a permanent place of abode within a national park or forest within California.
The State of California juror qualification law is not unique every State requires jurors to be domiciled in federal territory because that’s where written law is the law.

USING THE ORGANIC LAWS TO QUESTION THE AUTHORITY OF ANYONE CLAIMING TO REPRESENT THE GOVERNMENT
Filed Under Articles of Confederation, COMMON LAW, CONSTITUTION, Declaration of Independence, FREEDOM, Northwest Ordinance, ORGANIC LAWS, Supreme Court | Leave a Comment
The Organic Laws of the United States of America are presented in Volume 1 of the United States Code as the foundation of “the general and permanent laws of the United States.” This presentation of the four Organic Laws and all the Titles of the United States Code tells us unequivocally that the United States of America and the United States are separate and distinct entities connected almost exclusively to the two pairs of Organic Laws written about the same time.
The first two Organic Laws, the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776 and Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 are the first pair of Organic Laws which are connected to the United States of America, the Confederacy and the first and perpetual Union.
The last two Organic Laws are the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 and the Constitution of September 17, 1787, the second pair of Organic Laws which are connected to the United States, “this Union,” the United States, which include the governments of the 50 States, the federal territory within those States and Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, America Samoa, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands.
The Declaration of Independence describes an America where men and women are free to be governed exclusively by their Creator and the English common law. Article IV of the Articles of Confederation secures individual freedoms by restraining the assertion of power by the States of the first Union.
The United States Supreme Court requires proof of authority in assertions of power by anyone dealing with a person claiming government authority. See Federal Crop Insurance Corporation v. Merrill, 332 U.S. 380 (1947)
In every situation where there is a claim of government authority, that authority will be limited to the territory described in Article IV Section 3 Clause 2 of the Constitution of September 17, 1787.
Knowledge of the limitations of government requires a complete comprehension of the Organic Laws of the United States of America. To receive a complete set of searchable Organic Laws, contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com

LIENS, LEVIES, GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES AND OFFICERS OF THE UNITED STATES
Filed Under Adoption, Articles of Confederation, COMMON LAW, CONSTITUTION, Declaration of Independence, ORGANIC LAWS | Leave a Comment
I teach with a definite purpose and that purpose is to solve problems caused by written law. All legal problems are caused by written law, so we must always keep written law and unwritten law apart. Written law always applies to governments and the instruments of government, but only under special circumstances does it apply to people and those circumstances must be found in the written law.
In America, it is relatively simple to segregate written law and unwritten law, because all written law can traced back to the Organic Laws of the United States of America, if it’s written law and consistent with the Organic Laws of the United States of America it is law for the United States of America, but not necessarily law for all Americans.
Liens and levies are, of course, written law, which must be defined, delineated and determined according to written law procedures. Government liens and levies which are created by government employees are limited in their application to other government employees. After the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776 and the successful American Revolution, government employees in America would never again be able to act against Americans as the employees of the British monarchy had once acted against the American colonists.
There once was a special class of persons connected to the federal government who could act directly upon Americans as British tax collectors acted against the colonist in the collection of taxes. American tax collectors appointed by the President of the United States of America with the advice and consent of the Senate could engage Americans in their tax collection efforts, but only within the United States, the territory owned by or subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States of America. The offices of the Collector of Internal Revenue and Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue were abolished in 1952 and no new Officers of the United States have since been created by Congress.
All legal systems begin with an unwritten law version and a later written law scheme. I believe my Basic Course in Law and Government is the only Student tested legal instruction, which analyzes written law from its foundation. Students who successfully complete the Basic Course qualify for the Advanced Courses, which include Taxation.

On April 23, 1789, President of the United States of America, George Washington and his wife, Martha, moved into the first executive mansion, the Franklin House, in New York.

An executive mansion was appropriate for the first executive of a long line of Presidents of the United States of America who had no official executive power. Article II Section 1 of the Constitution of September 17, 1787 had revised the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777, to provide for a President with executive power, when nine States ratified “this Constitution.”
Washington was elected President of the United States of America on February 4, 1789, when the Presidential Electors voted unanimously for him, however, although everyone knew George Washington had been elected the Certificates of Vote still had to be transported to New York City to be unsealed and counted, as required by Article II Section 1 Clause 3 of the Constitution. The opening of the Certificates and the counting of the Vote took place on April 6, 1789 and on that date George Washington became President of the United States of America when he received all 69 Electoral Votes.

Criminal law lesson: George Zimmerman charged by an information with the Second degree murder of Trayvon Martin
Filed Under COMMON LAW, CRIMINAL LAW, GRAND JURY, JURY DUTY, LAW OF THE LAND, Martial Law, Oath of Office, PROPRIETARY POWER, TRIAL BY JURY | Leave a Comment
Black’s Law Dictionary 4th Ed. defines an Information like this: “An accusation exhibited against a person for some criminal offense, without an indictment. 4 Bl. Comm.308. An accusation in the nature of an indictment, from which it differs only in being presented by a competent public officer on his oath of office, instead of a grand jury on their oath.”
Trayvon Martin was killed in a part of Florida where the English common law is the law, so how can George Zimmerman be charged by an information?
The truth is only my Students know how Americans lost their freedoms by losing their grip on the English common law. To learn how George Washington elevated government created written law above the “Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God,” contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE COUNTY IN ENGLISH SPEAKING COUNTRIES
Filed Under COMMON LAW, CONSTITUTION, CRIMINAL LAW, LEARNING THE LAW, Northwest Ordinance, ORGANIC LAWS | 1 Comment
The early English King, Alfred the Great is credited with the origination of the county, borough and sheriff. King Alfred is also credited with the origin of the English common law.
The county was the local unit of government for hundreds of years in England, so it was quite natural for county government to be brought to America with British colonization. In England, the reigning monarch appointed the sheriffs. In America, the county electors voted for the sheriff and the sheriff enforced the English common law.
After the Constitution of September 17, 1787 was established between the ratifying States, the county began a federal conversion. State counties ceased being common law counties and began being part of a system of written law enforcement. Prosecution of the criminal law was divided between the district attorney for written common law type crimes and the United States Attorney, prosecutor of federal law and federal crimes.
The joinder of State written law and federal law required the melding of the federal territory with the non-federal territory by an intentional misstatement of the territorial composition of the modern county in Title One Section 2 of the United States Code: “The word ‘county’ includes a parish, or any other equivalent subdivision of a State or Territory of the United States.”
The misstatement of law is technically not a misstatement, because the “United States” has since the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787, been considered the federal territory belonging to the United States of America.

THE TRANSITION FROM THE ENGLISH COMMON LAW AGE OF MAJORITY TO THE FEDERAL EIGHTEEN YEARS AGE OF MAJORITY
Filed Under Adoption, Articles of Confederation, COMMON LAW, CONSTITUTION, LAW OF THE LAND, LEARNING THE LAW, Northwest Ordinance, ProperTea Tax Tea Party, PROPRIETARY POWER | Leave a Comment
The basis of democracy is the notion of a representative government elected by a simple majority vote. The age of majority in the Northwest Territory begins at age twenty-one and transitions to age eighteen in the Constitution of the United States.
The Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 set forth a temporary government for that district and a property law for what would become the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and part of Minnesota. These future States united by the promise of admission into the United States of America by legislative act of Congress become the “United States” of the United States of America.
These “United States” of the United States of America will be referred to as “this Union” in the Constitution of September 17, 1787. The United States of “this Union” will reduce the age of majority to eighteen years to distinguish “this Union” and these “United States” from “the Union” and the “United States of America.”
Article 4 of the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 explains the relationship of these “United States” to the Confederacy: “The said territory, and the States which may be formed therein, shall forever remain a part of this Confederacy of the United States of America, subject to the Articles of Confederation, and to such alterations therein as shall be constitutionally made; and to all the acts and ordinances of the United States in Congress assembled, conformable thereto. The inhabitants and settlers in the said territory shall be subject to pay a part of the federal debts contracted or to be contracted, and a proportional part of the expenses of government, to be apportioned on them by Congress according to the same common rule and measure by which apportionments thereof shall be made on the other States; “
The eighteen years age of majority has been federal law since June 21, 1788, the date when New Hampshire became the ninth State to ratify the Constitution of September 17, 1787. Students who take my Basic Course in Law and Government are learning how to prove beyond any doubt that federal law is limited to federal territory. To become a Student, find the special offer I made on July 7, 2011 in the Post for that date.
