In the United States, if you believe that your basic Rights came from our nation’s Founders in the U.S. Constitution, as in “constitutional rights,” you’re wrong. The Constitution only grants government certain limited rights and authorities, not you.
If you think your Rights come from the Bill of Rights, you’re still wrong. That document is a list of subjects which the Federal government is strictly prohibited from ever touching. Again, the document provided you with no Rights. The document only prohibits government from having any right or authority over those matters, because those matters involve your “Natural Rights” as a free people.
In just the 1st Amendment alone, our government (Congress shall make no law) is prohibited from any effort to regulate or infringe upon;
- establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof
- 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.
These Natural Rights and many more are protected by the 2nd Amendment;
- the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Now, before the atheists and socialists knee-jerk react here, nowhere in our Charters of Freedom will you find any reference to the phrase “separation of church and state” or a prohibition of faith-based influence in our government. In fact, the title and subject of this piece comes directly from the preamble in our Declaration of Independence, and the 1st Amendment prohibits government from regulating the “free exercise of religion and faith based beliefs.”
That’s because foundationally, our Rights either come from man, or they come from a power greater than that of men. In the case of the United States, from the Mayflower Compact through the Charters of our Freedom, it was firmly established that all of our Rights are derived from The Laws of Nature and Nature’s God, often referred to as Natural Law, and “endowed by our Creator.”
Our Rights as legal American citizens are not from man. They are not regulated by man. They are not subject to the political whims of man.
As a result, no American should object to this foundational reality, unless of course, it doesn’t serve their desire to control others, which is the end objective of every government on earth, including ours.
It’s the Declaration of our Independence as a free sovereign people, that established this foundation on July 4, 1776…
“The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them;”
Because our Rights are “endowed by our Creator” derived from “The Laws of Nature and Nature’s God,” they are “inalienable” (not to be confused with a similar, but not the same term, unalienable) by any governmental authority.
Natural Rights
Our Founders established Rights granted from “Nature’s God” and not mere mortals, simply because that which is given by man, can be taken by man. In stark contrast, that which is given by God, no man or men have the authority to take away.
This is the true source of “freedom” and “liberty.” It does not come from men seeking authority over others, it is “endowed by our Creator,” Nature’s God.
Natural Birthright Citizenship
Likewise, the Laws of Nature dictate that a natural right of citizenship is derived from the same source as the source of our freedom and liberty, the Laws of Nature.
As a result, “birthright citizenship” is not derived from man either, through any acts of government. The enumerated powers of Congress in Section VIII of Article I, do not include any right or power to regulate or infringe upon the natural right of every child to be born into the country of their natural birth Father. It only grants Congress the power to establish a standard “naturalization” process for non-citizens at birth.
Therefore, the 14th reconstruction Amendment pertaining to former slaves and their families, has nothing whatsoever to do with “birthrights.” It is a mass naturalization amendment intended to grant legal citizenship status to former slaves and their families, following the 13th Amendment granting freedom, and preceding the 15th Amendment which granted the same group voting rights.
These Amendments, 13, 14 and 15, do not apply to anyone today as we have not had slavery in our country since. They are obsolete today.
Natural Born Citizen
The only type of citizen eligible for the Oval Office in Article II, is a true “birthright citizen,” the opposite of any “naturalized citizen” via congressional act or court opinion.
The truth in this regard is quite interesting. It’s well known but openly opposed by people at both extremes of the debate today.
THE ANTI-AMERICAN EXTREME LEFT VIEW
The “14th birthright concept” is an open attempt to destroy all foundations in the USA and broaden these terms to include people entering our country illegally, whom they hope will vote for them in the future. This view is based upon a single sentence intentionally interpreted out of proper context…
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” 14th Amendment
Using an intentional misinterpretation of this single sentence to establish “birthright citizenship” via the 14th totally ignores the reality that the 14th was only designed for former slaves and their families, as were the 13th and 15th amendments. It also ignores The Laws of Nature as well, which is the true source of all Natural Birthrights.
THE EXTREME RIGHT VIEW
Similarly, the extreme right in our country wants to invent its own definition as well. They too rely upon an intentional misinterpretation of just one sentence, properly borrowed from the Law of Nations, an internationally acclaimed treatise on the subject of Natural Law and its effects on humankind, intentionally taken out of proper context…
“The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens.”
A group desperately trying to disqualify Sen. John McCain for the Oval Office in 2008, cherrypicked this single sentence out of The Law of Nations treatise in order to make the claim that John McCain was not a “natural born Citizen” because he was born in Panama in a hospital close to a U.S. Naval Base, and not “born in the country.”
These claims caused the U.S. Senate to adopt a Resolution declaring John McCain a natural born Citizen of the USA eligible for the office, based upon his natural birth Father, who was at the time, Naval Commander in charge of the Panama Naval Base, which is why John was born in Panama.
Senate members, including Barack Obama at the time, voted 99-0 to affirm McCain a natural born Citizen based upon the bloodline of his birth Father, and the fact that he was born in Panama only due to his Father’s service to the U.S. Navy.
“Permit me to hint, whether it would be wise and seasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of Foreigners into the administration of our national Government; and to declare expressly that the Commander in Chief of the American Army shall not be given to nor devolve on, any but a natural born Citizen.” – John Jay letter dated July 25, 1787
The words that follow the single sentence misused in the attempt to disqualify McCain are immediately proven false in the words that follow in that same document.
- “As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights.”
- “The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children;
- “I say, that, in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen;
- “Their children follow the condition of their fathers;”
- “By the law of nature alone, children follow the condition of their fathers, and enter into all their rights (§ 212); the place of birth produces no change in this particular,”
- “The natural, or original settlement, is that which we acquire by birth, in the place where our father has his;”
Both extreme false interpretations are equally dangerous.
NOTE: No such Senate Resolution was ever taken up on behalf of Barack Hussein Obama, whose Oval Office eligibility was also in question at the time, due to his stated birth Father, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., never being a citizen of the United States.
Both extreme’s based upon a single sentence taken out of context in both cases, caused the basic clear term “natural born Citizen” to appear “ambiguous,” and therefore, open to interpretation.
But like all Rights in Nature, these rights follow the bloodline of the Father, and they are “endowed by our Creator,” inalienable to any governmental authority.
The Foundations of Freedom and Liberty will always be The Laws of Nature and Nature’s God, or they will no longer exist at all.
The only scholarly work recognized around the world, used by our Founders and even listed in Article I of the U.S. Constitution, is the international treatise known as The Law of Nations. Everything our Founders established at the beginning, and every Natural Right of a free people, depends upon the proper interpretation and enforcement of our Charters of Freedom.
All acts to undermine these foundations, are acts of treason against the United States and every true Citizen of the United States. It cannot be allowed to stand.
But for people to protect their freedom and liberty for all posterity, they must first know the true source of their freedom and liberty.
The Laws of Nature and Nature’s God!
If We the People fail to get the proper foundations right, we will get everything else wrong!
