Before July 4, 1776, in America practically everyone except the Indians were British subjects.  On July 4, 1776 the United States of America was born and the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776 was its birth certificate.  Almost immediately, work began on an instrument that would unite thirteen free and independent states into one perpetual Union.  The Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 was the instrument that united all thirteen States on March 1, 1781.

Between July 4, 1776 and March 1, 1781 an American could only legitimately claim State citizenship in one of the thirteen States.  After March 1, 1781, a person could claim all the privileges and immunities of a citizen of a State as a free inhabitant without being a citizen or a person could claim to be a Citizen of the United States.

The Constitution of September 17, 1787 formally recognized the status of Citizen of the United States, when New Hampshire became the ninth State to ratify and, thus, establish that Constitution.   The elections of Representatives and Senators were set, however, it would be impossible for any Senator to meet the Constitution’s nine Years a Citizen of the United States requirement until after March 1, 1790.  Newly elected Senators would still qualify as delegates under the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 and the nine States could function as the Committee of States under Article IX and X of the Articles of Confederation.

When the first Congress convenes on March 4, 1789 in New York City none of the Senators qualified to take the Article VI oath, so the preparation of a legislative oath was the first order of business.  This is how the Constitution of September 17, 1787 became the Constitution of the United States, which George Washington swore to “preserve, protect and defend.”  The Constitution of the United States covered a territory that amounted to the lands owned by the United States of America.  To learn more about what constitutes the United States and how to enroll contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com

The Constitution of September 17, 1787 required of the first Members of the House of Representatives that: “No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen.”

 The Constitution of September 17, 1787 required this of Senators: “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.”

The Constitution of September 17, 1787 required this of persons who would fill the Office of President:     “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; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.”

These three clauses intended the creation of a republic out of the Confederacy, the United States of America, by requiring the candidates to these Offices to declare themselves to be Citizens of the United States of America.   The first Citizens of the United States of America would be the members of the First Congress and the first person elected to the office of President of the United States of America, who would take the Article VI oath “to support this Constitution.”

The Confederacy, to be known as the United States of America, begins on March 1, 1781, when Maryland becomes the thirteenth State to ratify the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777.  The United States of America never becomes a republic, because no Senator would qualify to be a Senator under the Constitution of September 17, 1787 until after March 1, 1790.  The First Congress is elected too early for any of the Senators to qualify to take the Article VI oath, so a legislative oath is created in its place.

The Constitution of September 17, 1787 is a complex concoction of inconsistencies that has taken a lifetime to unravel.  Fortunately, by enrolling in my Basic Course in Law and Government you can begin to truly understand “this Constitution” and much more in just a few hours.  To enroll, contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com

The Preamble, which is not an official part of “this Constitution” states that “this Constitution” is for the United States of America.  There are two United States of America: one of the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776 and the other of the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777.

Incompetent historians and an unscrupulous legal profession have perpetuated government propaganda that alleges the Constitution of September 17, 1787 replaced the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777, the second of the Organic Laws of the United States of America, which established the perpetual Union of the thirteen States that had signed the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776, the first Organic Law.

Proof that the Constitution of September 17, 1787 neither replaced nor repealed the Articles of Confederation is found at the conclusion of the third Organic Law, the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787.  At the end of the Ordinance, can be found the language of repeal, nullity and the voiding of the prior ordinance, the Resolution of April 23, 1784.  The absence of similar language in the Constitution of September 17, 1787 proves the Constitutional Convention consisting of many men trained in law never considered repeal of the Articles of Confederation.

The Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 established a temporary government for the Northwest Territory, which was replaced by a permanent one to be found in Article I of the Constitution of September 17, 1787. On April 30, 1789, George Washington took the oral oath of office of the President of the United States making him both President of the United States of America and President of the United States.

The secrecy by which the Constitution of September 17, 1787 was created permitted Washington to pretend the office of President of the United States was bound by law “to support this Constitution.”  The only oath of office Washington ever took was to “”preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States,” which would only apply to the Northwest Territory and any others lands and property belonging to the United States of America.

The Constitution of September 17, 1787 became the Constitution for the United States of America, when nine States ratified “this Constitution.”  When George Washington took the oral oath to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States,” he accepted the employment of  administering the lands and other property belonging to the United States of America.

The Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776 declared American independence from the English monarchy, which embodied all government authority in one person, the monarch.  By eliminating King George III, every American was declared equal to every other American, which, also, eliminated all judges.

The Constitution, in Article I, makes it clear that only those Americans who have been freed from a government may rule themselves.  The Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 did not bring Americans under governmental legislative power.

The Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 expressly created a temporary government for those Americans inhabiting the Northwest Territory, land belonging to the United States of America.  Article I of the Constitution of September 17, 1787 made that temporary government permanent.

Legislation enacted by the Congress of the United States, the Judiciary Act of 1789, made the federal courts “judicial courts” for the thirteen districts created by that act.  On the date of enactment, September 24, 1789 two States had not ratified the Constitution of September 17, 1787, making the federal courts legislative and only for the land owned by the United States of America.     

The only duty imposed on the Chief Justice by the Constitution of September 17, 1787 is legislative and all other duties imposed on the Chief Justice and United States Supreme Court are legislative.

 This is not all the information you need to prove the Chief Justice, Associate Justices and federal court system is limited to government affairs and the lands owned by the United States of America, but it is a start.   To get the rest of this story, enroll in my Basic Course in Law and Government, by contacting me at edrivera@edrivera.com

To fill the office of President, George Washington had to be fourteen years a resident within the United States.  All federal official counts are taken from July 4, 1776.  No person could qualify to fill the Office of President until after July 4, 1790 and no President Elect has ever filled that office.

The President of the United States of America is not required to take any oath under the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 and the President of the United States takes an oral oath to gain his office.

Any person who is to fill the Office of President under the Constitution of September 17, 1787 must take the Article VI written oath “to support this Constitution” by subscribing his name to that oath.

The only way to learn the historical, legal and political consequences of not filling the Office of President is to enroll in my Basic Course in Law and Government.  E-mail me at edrivera@edrivera.com to become one of my Students and a legal genius upon graduation.

The Constitution by artful misdirection does not require a written subscribed oath to be taken by the President of the United States, by setting out in Article II Section 1 Clause 8 the exact oral oath to be taken by the President of the United States.  The President of the United States takes but is not bound by an oral oath or affirmation.

Article VI Clause 3 requires all members of Congress and of the several State legislatures and all executive and judicial officers of the United States and the several States to be bound by oath or affirmation to support this Constitution, which means the oaths are to be written and subscribed.

The first act of the First Congress is to create by legislation a written oath, but instead of supporting the Constitution of September 17, 1787 the oath a different constitution, the Constitution of the United States.

The President of the United States is the first of these Presidents.  He is the President who will be the executive officer of the corporation that administers the lands and other property belonging to the United States of America.  He will administer those lands and properties by exercising the duties imposed on the President of the United States in Article I Section 7 of the Constitution of September 17, 1787.

The second President is the President of the United States of America, an office, which requires no oath to be taken.

The third President would occupy the Office of President if ever a President Elect would take the Article VI oath “to support this Constitution.”  To get the whole story, enroll as a Student in my Basic Course in Law and Government.

Only one of the six States that allows same sex marriage recognizes common law marriage.

Clearly, the over whelming majority of the States are into marriage for the money and the control the licensing of the most intimate of human relationships provides government.

Government marital money grubbing can be stopped dead in its tracks, if married people individually or as couples rescind the marriage license that was purchased from a State on the false representation that any marriage without the license would be invalid.

How much sense does it make to refuse government recognition to a husband and wife in a common law marriage, while such recognition is extended to a same sex couple?  It doesn’t make any sense, but government will not change its spots any more than a leopard can.

Government is a commercial enterprise, so if it can coerce the people to pay government for the “privilege” of enjoying human society’s most fundamental, it has become a “public trust” that needs busting.      

Trust busing is as easy as learning the ABC’s of law and government by enrolling in my Basic Course in Law and Government.  Licensing requires written laws and many regulations, which have to apply to one place and to the exclusion of all others.  Governments are limited to making laws for the lands owned by the United States of America.  You will learn how, when you enroll.  To enroll contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com

California and Texas were republics of the Mexican Union of States and Spanish property law currently applies in these and other American States.  English is the common language in California and Texas and the English common law is the law in both places.

The original thirteen States formed the perpetual Union, the United States of America on March 1, 1781 when Maryland became the thirteenth State to ratify the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777.  The State of California joined the perpetual Union when her two Senators were admitted to the Senate of the United States of America.

The State of California was admitted to the Union established by the Constitution of September 17, 1787 on September 9, 1850 and according to Article 3 Section 1of its Constitution of 1879, “is an inseparable part of the United States of America and the Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the land.”   The State of California, an inseparable part of the United States of America, is both a government and that part of California, which is owned by the United States of America. 

The State of California does not recognize common law marriage, which is an unlicensed marriage between a man and woman, but does recognize the licensed marriages of the other 55 States of the Union established by the Constitution of September 17, 1787, which was ratified by the States, but not adopted by a government bound to support that Constitution.   

The Supreme Court of the State of California issued an opinion in a case that marriages between persons of the same sex were lawful and, therefore, should be licensed by the State of California.

Proposition 8, which defined marriage as only between one man and one woman, was approved by a majority of State of California registered voters and conforms with Title 1 United States Code Section 7. Definition of “marriage” and “spouse:” “

In determining the meaning of any Act of Congress, or of any ruling, regulation, or interpretation of the various administrative bureaus and agencies of the United States, the word ‘marriage’ means only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife, and the word ‘spouse’ refers only to a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or a wife.”

Based upon these facts, the Congress of the United States of America recognizes the existence within the place called California two kinds of territory one owned by the United States of America and another owned by others not the United States of America. 

The decision and opinion rendered by United States district judge Vaughn Walker in the matter of the constitutionality of Proposition 8 is inconsistent with the Organic Laws of the United States of America and an act of the Congress of the United States of America.

The recognition by Congress and the refusal of the State of California and many other States of the United States to recognize common law marriage illustrates the nature of the Article I Section 8 Clause 18 ”exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever.”  The Congress of the United States has the power to recognize common law from outside the United States, but the States of the United States do not.

Because the officers of the federal government have never taken and subscribed a written Article VI oath “to support this Constitution,” the Constitution of September 17, 1787 has not been adopted for the United States of America.   The “exclusive Legislation” afforded by proprietary power of Congress trumps the un-adopted Constitution of the United States every time.

Has your state withdrawn recognition of common law marriage and is there a gay marriage movement in your state or has same sex marriage become a reality there?   Then you are in luck, if you want to claim your freedom.   The right to pick your marriage partner is a fundamental human right, so the attempt by the State to outlaw common law marriage and to license civil marriage is a clear signal that the State has unlawfully extended its power beyond the lands owned by the United States of America.

To take advantage of all the possibilities common law and gay marriage present, you must know law and government.  My Basic Course in Law and Government is the only one that will prepare you to take on the State government’s legal establishment.   To enroll, contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com

Weeks before the May 25, 1787 Constitutional Convention finished its secret meeting and presented the Constitution of September 17, 1787 to the  United States in Congress assembled, the United States of the Northwest Territory were made part of the United States of America.

On April 30, 1789, George Washington took this oral oath to the 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.”   This oath was to secure the lands and property belonging to the government.  An oral oath has nothing to do with a written constitution.
