At noon on April 30, 1789 in New York City George Washington took the oral oath of office of President of the United States.   Washington had been elected President of the United States of America on February 4, 1789 and according to plan an inauguration was to take place on the eve of May Day.  Apparently, no one then and only a few today are aware that an oral oath cannot bind a person to a government office.  An oral oath can only secure employment in America.  Washington’s election to one office and his taking of an oral oath to another to secure employment  was nothing less than a super slick takeover of government by he and Congress.

The American Presidency has taken on a regal quality, because of the precedents George Washington established.   Although he was elected to an office vested with the executive power, Washington takes the oral oath for an office that would be appointive, if the Constitution of September 17, 1787 had been adopted by all the members of Congress and a President by taking proper written oaths.  The Constitution of September 17, 1787 has been ratified, but not adopted

Have you had to pay retail all your life?  No one would sell you so much as a scooter on your oral promise to make installment payments.   Barack Hussein Obama, the person currently holding the  office of President of the United States of America  and one employment of President of the United States  was put in charge of an entire country on the strength of an oral promise to “preserve, protect and defend” the Constitution of the United States.

Long thought to have been repealed, replaced and superseded by the Constitution of the United States, the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 is still a mighty force of law to be reckoned with, when States such as the State of  Arizona claim government power over Americans, who just happen to be in a place in America called Arizona.

Article IV of the Articles of Confederation prohibits the States of the United States of America from denying privileges and immunities to Americans, who do not declare themselves to be citizens.  In other words, a State cannot require a person to be a citizen, in order for that person to enjoy all the privileges and immunities of citizenship.  This is exactly what Arizona’s new tough immigration law is trying to do.  When this law is fully implemented, it will likely place many native Americans in government custody just for refusing to claim U.S. citizenship.

The Constitution of September 17, 1787 is the fourth Organic Law.  The other three are the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776, the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 and the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787.  All four laws constitute the foundational Organic Law of the United States of America.  These four laws limit the State governments and the federal government in ways not thought possible, while these laws were believed to be subsumed by the Constitution of September 17, 1787.

My recent research has proven that even ratification by all thirteen States of the original thirteen States was insufficient to adopt the Constitution of September 17, 1787 and impose on any federal government any obligation to support that Constitution. 

There are no Article III judicial courts and even if there were such courts only Citizens could be parties to law suits in such courts.  To learn more about the law and government contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com  to enroll as a Student.

All the written laws enacted by the House of Representatives and Senate must conform to all four Organic Laws of the United States of America not just the Constitution of the United States. 

These four 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 are the positive Organic Laws that are the basis of the 50 Titles of the United States Code.

 

Positive law is defined in Black’s Law Dictionary 4th Ed. “Positive Law.  Law actually and specifically enacted or adopted by proper authority for the government of an organized jural society.”  When the four Organic Laws of the United States of America are read and understood as integrated positive law, the interdependence of the first and second and the third and fourth is quite obvious.  

 

A thoughtful and thorough reading of the Declaration of Independence and Articles of Confederation leaves the reader with only one conclusion neither document supported the establishment of a strong central government.

 

The Northwest Ordinance without question establishes a temporary government for the lands owned by the United States of America and the Constitution of the United States makes that temporary government permanent.

 

Article IV of the Articles of Confederation makes citizenship optional, so for the federal government to grow the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 must be made to go away.  The claim is universal: the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 were repealed and replaced by the Constitution of the United States.  A good story, but totally without foundation and without documentary evidence.

 

How do prove something to be true, when everyone believes the older model has been replaced by the New an Improved more perfect model?  You ask the expert, which in the case of Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 and the Confederacy known as the United States of America, is anyone of the 100 Senators.  This is exactly what my Students have done and here is the first correspondence:

Senator Bill Nelson

716 Hart Senate Office Building

Washington, DC 20510-0903

 

Dear Senator Nelson:

 

I am writing you today requesting you instruct me in the appropriateness of my assumption that the Articles of Confederation are and always have been well established as part of the Organic Documents. I can find no evidence that the Articles of Confederation have been repealed, replaced and or superseded by the Constitution of the United States.

 

Yes or no answer is all that is required by the following questions; however, if you prefer, please respond with the proper documentation featured in your response.

 

Is there any evidence of the Articles of Confederation being repealed?

 

Is there any evidence of the Articles of Confederation being replaced by the Constitution of the United States?

 

Is there any evidence of the Articles of Confederation being superseded by the Constitution of the United States?

 

By answering the above questions you will be assisting me in my quest and I would like to thank you in advance for your prompt reply.

 

Sincerely,

 

Ken the Inhabitant

 

 

 

Dear Mr. Inhabitant:

Thank you very much for sending me your request for information regarding the Articles of Confederation. Unfortunately, due to time constraints and the large amount of correspondence I receive, I will not be able to process your request. I recommend that you conduct research at your local library or go online to http://thomas.loc.gov/ to find this information.

Sincerely,
Senator Bill Nelson

 

This effort to put the Senators on the Articles of Confederation spot has just begun, if you want to get in on the fun, enroll as one of my Students.  Contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com

By requiring its law enforcement officers to make a legal status inquiry of those persons detained, the State of Arizona will be violating Article IV of the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777:

The better to secure and perpetuate mutual friendship and intercourse among the people of the different states in this union, the free inhabitants of each of these states, paupers, vagabonds and fugitives from Justice excepted, shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of free citizens in the several states; and the people of each state shall have free ingress and regress to and from any other state, and shall enjoy therein all the privileges of trade and commerce, subject to the same duties, impositions and restrictions as the inhabitants thereof respectively,

Any person of the different states of the first and perpetual Union in any part of the United States of America not owned by United States of America has an “unalienable Right” not to be a citizen and still enjoy all the privileges and immunities of free citizens in the several states.

Being an inhabitant and refusing to be a citizen, is the only way to enjoy real freedom in America.  To find out why and how to do it, enroll in my Basic Course in Law and Government, by contacting me at edrivera@edrivera.com

Immigration is a natural human activity.  It is inherent in the human species to explore the earth, so written laws that limit human movement must be examined to determine any territorial limitations.

The identity of the United States of America has been tracked in these Posts from the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776 to the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777.  The inhabitants of those United States of America are free to remain clear of government control or they may become citizens.  Inhabitants who decide not to become citizens nonetheless are entitled to all the privileges and immunities of citizens.

The identity of the United States has also been tracked in these Posts from the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 to the Constitution of September 17, 1787.  The first Constitution of the United States is the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and part of Minnesota.  As the United States of America acquires new territories this Constitution of the United States expands.

The other Constitution of the United States is first established on June 21, 1788, when New Hampshire becomes the ninth State to ratify the Constitution of September 17, 1787.  When eleven States have ratified the Constitution of September 17, 1787, elections for the Senate and House of Representatives are held and Congress meets for the first time in New York City on March 4, 1789. 

George Washington is elected February 4, 1789 to the Article II Section 1 office of President of the United States of America.  On April 30, 1789, Washington takes the oral oath of office of President of the United States, the Article I Section 7 President, who must approve or object to Bills passed by the House of Representatives and Senate.  George Washington hatched the plot to combine the executive power of the office of President of the United States of America with the legislative office of President of the United States, while presiding over the secret Constitutional Convention.  His intentions were obvious to conflate the two offices to cause the country’s people to erroneous conclude that Bills passed by a Congress of the United States and approved by the President of the United States applied in the United States of America.

The truth is different.  Federal law applies to the United States, the land owned by the United States of America.  This is the United States defined in Title 8—Aliens and Nationality of the United States Code, Section 1101(38) “ The term ‘United States’, except as otherwise specifically herein provided, when used in a geographical sense, means the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands of the United States.”

The Resolution of April 23, 1784, which the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 repealed and replaced made the lands owned by the United States of America part of the United States of America, the United States and subject to the administration of the President of the United States.  The Bills passed by the Congress of the United States are limited to the United States, the lands owned by the United States of America.   There can be no federal immigration reform, because immigrants are not entering the United States illegally.

The History Channel in its premier two-hour “Story of Us” managed to refer to the “unalienable Rights” of the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776 as “inalienable Rights” and then concluded the episode by claiming that George Washington was inaugurated “President of the United States of America” on April 30, 1789.

The oral oath of office Washington took on April 30, 1789 was for the office of President of the United States, as anyone who bothers to read Article II Section 1 Clause 8 of the Constitution of September 17, 1787 will readily see.  For those, like the folks at the History Channel, too busy to examine the written record, this is what witnesses reported to be his spoken words:

“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.”

Washington was elected President of the United States of America on February 4, 1789 and took that office immediately, as neither the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777, nor the Constitution of September 17, 1787 require the President of the United States of America to take any oath.  The Article VI oath of the Constitution of September 17, 1787 is required to be taken by the person who is to fill the Article II Section 1 Clause 5 Office of President.  Washington couldn’t take that Office until after July 4, 1790, the date the “fourteen Years a Resident within the United States” requirement could first be met.

The errors could have been easily avoided, if someone at the History Channel had enrolled in my Basic Course in Law and Government.  Don’t you make that mistake contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com to enroll.

The “Freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances” found in the First Amendment to the Constitution for the United States of America, which is part of the Bill of Rights, is the kind of freedom that can be limited by the Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.”  This is the Congress of Article I Section 1: “All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.”  Only the specific freedoms protected from legislative tampering are safe from Congressional meddling.  Where this Congress has power to make laws, there can be no Right to be left alone. 

The Right to be left alone is yours only, if you pick the other Congress, the United States in Congress assembled, which is limited by the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776 and the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777.  To be unlimited in your freedom, you must decide to be an inhabitant instead of a citizen of a State or of the United States.

No other law course in the world teaches that the Right to be left alone is the unique form of American Freedom secured by the basis of all written law in the United States of America.  To begin my instruction, the Basic Course in Law and Government, contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com

Governor of the State of Arizona, Jan Brewer, did something that many Americans wish Barack Hussein Obama would do; she signed a bill that would require the police in the State of Arizona to ask people about their immigration status, if the officers have any reason to suspect that they are in the State of  Arizona illegally.

The office of governor of the State of Arizona is patterned after the office of President of the United States.  Bills passed by the State of Arizona legislature must be presented to the governor for her approval or objection.  In the case of the bill she signed today, she approved, so she signed it.  The bill is now law, but where is it law?

The belief that the States have rights is a fiction fostered by federalism for the purpose of extending legislative power beyond the land owned by the United States of America.  The first Union, the United States of America, had no legislative power, because the States of that Union had none to give.  Federalism got its first legislative power from King George III in the Treaty of Paris.  The United States of America extended its legislative reach in the only way possible—land acquisition.

The federal courts will, of course, strike down the bill the Governor of the State of Arizona signed today, but don’t look for an honest explanation.  The Congress of the United States and State of Arizona legislature make laws for the same land in Arizona, the land owned by the United States of America.   The job of the federal courts is to keep the Congress of the United States free of competition.

There will never be real immigration reform until the people of America are the ones who determine who can be an Inhabitant under Article IV of the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777.  Right now federal immigration law prohibits entry only into the United States, because that is the limit of its territorial jurisdiction that also happens to be the limits of the State of Arizona’s legislative reach.  There is a humane solution to all human problems and we are finding out why government does not provide the answers.  “You shall know the truth,” should be an eleventh Commandment.   To know the truth about law and government, enroll in the Basic Course in Law and Government by contacting me at edrivera@edrivera.com

On April 20, 2010 the United States Supreme Court struck down a federal law that made it a crime to make or sell videos of dogfights or other depictions of animal cruelty.  The Court’s 8-to-1 decision was based on the protection afforded free speech by the First Amendment:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The first ten amendments were ratified by the required number of States on December 15, 1791, as the Bill of Rights.  These amendments were necessary to placate those, who at that time felt there was little to control Congress.   Such feelings were well grounded in law, but, unfortunately, not well understood.

There are two legal systems operating in the United States of America freed from monarchical rule by the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776: written and unwritten law.  The English common law is the unwritten law in 49 of the 50 states.   All written law is thought to be derived from the Constitution of September 17, 1787, which was first established on June 21, 1788.  The First Congress began meeting in New York City on March 4, 1789 and by June 1, 1789 had produced a statutory oath for the Government of the United States.  The Constitution of September 17, 1787, in Article I Section 7 imposes on the Congress the duty of presenting to the President of the United States all Bills, which have been passed by the House of Representatives and Senate.  Most certainly that process was followed with the animal cruelty video law that was just struck down.

The federal legislative process is itself a dog and pony show.  While the States have ratified the Constitution of September 17, 1787, none of the officers of the Government of the United States have taken an Article VI oath “to support this Constitution.”  Instead, the President of the United States takes an oral oath to “preserve, protect and defend” the Constitution of the United States, which is limited territorially to the land in each state owned by the United States of America.

Where does Congress get the power to make laws for practically anything it wants?  Where else would kingly powers come from, but George III, King of England, who relinquished all “Government, proprietary and territorial rights” collectively to the thirteen original States in the Treaty of Paris of 1783.  The King could only relinquish by treaty that which he possessed as the States were free of all law except the English common law. 

Those States lost all government power over Americans they had acquired through the English monarchy with the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776.  The Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 and Constitution of September 17, 1787 made it possible for both the States and a so-called national government to have a territory to which the “Government, proprietary and territorial rights” relinquished by the King of England could apply.

It would take a man with the personality of a king, but without a male heir to snatch hard won American freedom from the People.  The Constitution of the United States was the brilliant piece of work that has deceived millions, but it needed the People’s choice to get it started .  George Washington’s oral oath to “preserve, protect and defend” the Constitution of the United States didn’t include the dogs on the land owned by the United States of America, but, as government must grow or begin to die, it now covers pets and livestock.           

 The Supreme Court was a September 24, 1789 statutory creation of the First Congress to complete the three ring circus of a federal government.  This brief account of how America went to the dogs is intended to spark the interest of readers to discover how animals got to be more important than people.  If you want to find out in detail how the government got its power, contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com  to become a Student.

I have been studying government since I was in high school and I graduated in 1961.  I started law school in 1968 and I have never stopped studying the law.  That’s a lot of studying, so I, now, feel I have reached the point in my life, where I can state, whatever is left to learn can be discovered, while I help my Students and former clients attain the peace and freedom everyone wants in life.  The Right to be left alone is an unalienable Right, which is attainable with the correct knowledge.   I have this knowledge and I want to share it now.

Former Students and all the clients who paid me substantial attorney fees will now benefit from my years of research by participating, without cost, in a program to document the establishment of the status of Inhabitant under the authority of Article IV of the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777.  This program will, also, be incorporated into the Basic Course in Law and Government, without additional tuition.
