REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT AND THE RIGHT TO VOTE ARE NOT IN THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

Voting is not one of the “certain unalienable Rights,” because the right to vote conflicts directly with the self-evident Truth “that all Men are created equal.” A majority of voters cannot deny or abridge the Rights of Men “endowed by their Creator.” According to the precepts set out in the Declaration of Independence, the vote of 80 million men and women would be equal to one non-voter, therefore, representative government is not the law of the land of the free. A democratic republic with a representative government is incorporated into the written law in the territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America.
Written law is the only law that can be taught in the regimented law schools of the world, because written law favors the ruling class. There is a big problem with teaching written law exclusively. The exclusion of unwritten law leads to the assumption by legal scholars that representatives elected by the people can make laws for everyone and everything. Law in America is not taught, as I teach it, using the Organic Law of the United States of America, as the source of all written law. My approach to the teaching of law exposes the obvious territorial limitations to all written law.
The first and second Organic Laws of the United States of America, the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776 and the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 establish a Confederacy of completely free states, where only the “Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God” apply to the people.
The third and fourth Organic Laws, the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 and Constitution of September 17, 1787 create, first, a temporary government and then a permanent Union of federal territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America. By act of the United States in Congress assembled, the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 establishes a representative government in the Northwest Territory:
So soon as there shall be five thousand free male inhabitants of full age in the district, upon giving proof thereof to the governor, they shall receive authority, with time and place, to elect a representative from their counties or townships to represent them in the general assembly: Provided, That, for every five hundred free male inhabitants, there shall be one representative, and so on progressively with the number of free male inhabitants shall the right of representation increase, until the number of representatives shall amount to twenty five; after which, the number and proportion of representatives shall be regulated by the legislature: Provided, That no person be eligible or qualified to act as a representative unless he shall have been a citizen of one of the United States three years, and be a resident in the district, or unless he shall have resided in the district three years; and, in either case, shall likewise hold in his own right, in fee simple, two hundred acres of land within the same; Provided, also, That a freehold in fifty acres of land in the district, having been a citizen of one of the states, and being resident in the district, or the like freehold and two years residence in the district, shall be necessary to qualify a man as an elector of a representative.
The representatives thus elected, shall serve for the term of two years; and, in case of the death of a representative, or removal from office, the governor shall issue a writ to the county or township for which he was a member, to elect another in his stead, to serve for the residue of the term.
The Constitution of September 17, 1787 made the kind of representative government provided for in the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 permanent for the federal territory then owned by the United States of America and any future territory that might be acquired by the United States of America.
The Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 made the Northwest Territory part of the Confederacy known as the United States of America the other United States of America was the territory of the people. When, on February 4, 1789, George Washington was elected President of the United States of America, he knew no one would be eligible to fill the Constitution’s Article II Section 1 Clause 5 Office of President. He also knew that with the help of his fellow conspirators he could take the oral oath of Office of President of the United States and everyone else would believe he had filled the Constitution’s Article II Section 1 Clause 5 Office of President. Taking an oral oath freed Washington from any obligation “to support this Constitution.”
The original Congress, the United States in Congress assembled, of the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777, has secretly met since March 4, 1789 as the Senate. The House of Representatives and direct taxes were, according to Article I Section 2 Clause 3, to “be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union.” The States of that Union and all future federal States will be comprised of territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America.
The Organic Laws of the United States of America tell the stories of two United States of America. The United States of America created by the Declaration of Independence and protected by the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 describes a place where all inhabitants are entitled to all the privileges and immunities of citizens, so they don’t have to become part of government. The second United States of America, the Confederacy together with the territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America describe a political organization for citizens of the United States accounted for by a decennial census.
My Students are taught how government since July 4, 1776 has been limited to those who take an oath of Office or who contract with it. To learn how today’s government is limited to territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America, contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com
