Principles of Freedom
- No one has the right to tell you what to do without your consent.
- We are governed and policed -
by consent. - The giving or withholding of consent is an individual right.
- We each have an obligation to uphold the (common) Law.
- If we do not uphold the Law we are deemed to be outlaws and have no right to expects its protection.
- We can consent to statutes , however, they can not be imposed upon us.
- We consent to statutes by agreeing to remain members of a society.
- Laws protect our rights, our property and our Lives.
- Laws apply to every one -
equally. - Statutes (rules, regulations and acts of parliament) control: they bring order to a society without which there might be chaos.
- Statutes may apply differently to different groups within a society.
- Being a member of a society, while being a birthright, is not a compulsion.
- Good governance requires that statutes are balanced and reasonable. When they become onerous, oppressive and excessive we have the right to withdraw our consent to being controlled by them.
- Where a statute has been based upon a Common Law then it is deemed to be a Law.
- No statute can override or diminish a right.
- Rights are inalienable and absolute.
- We have an obligation to come to the defence of rights of others on the assumption they will come to defend ours.
- Outlaws do not lose their rights, only their ability to defend their rights.
- A man may encroach upon the rights of another when he is defending his own rights.
- There is no authority on Earth which can impose itself on any one such as to grant or remove rights.
- No one has any right to break the Law.
- No authority has any right to break the Law.
- No authority can give immunity to Law breakers.
- If any individual’s rights are infringed, or the individual is a victim of a breach of the Law, that individual may bring a claim against any other individual.
- There is no compulsion to bring a grievance before a court.
- A grievance by sworn statement is judgement when not rebutted.
- Government by others can never be a compulsion.
- Governments are not elected into power to rule -
- Governments never gain power -
they are burdened with responsibility and duties. - No government may legislate power to others.
- There is no such thing as ‘police power’ except in a police state (which is unlawful) as the police, as with the government, have a duty to serve, not to control.
The above list, though not yet complete, attempts to redefine the principles upon which a new constitutional settlement may be used to both explain and improve our existing constitution which is being systematically destroyed by politicians and the judiciary.
