What is this Thing Called "Freedom" in America.

According to Thomas Paine, “The cause of America is in great measure the cause of all mankind.”

Freedom, as the natural state of being for all living organisms including humans, can only be subject to unwritten law or what is called in the Declaration of Independence the “Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God.”

Why There Can Be No Written Law of Freedom

The Organic Laws Limit Legislation to Land Owned by the United States of America

Common sense in legislation means reducing the size of a broken federal government by using the Organic Laws to limit laws to the territory owned by or subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States of America. Reading and understanding the Organic Laws of the United States of America would immediately reduce the size of the broken federal government, if the common sense of the Organic Laws were written into the Bills ultimately passed by Congress. You can be sure that few in Congress have read the Constitution of September 17, 1787, as amended and fewer still have read the remaining three Organic Laws. - Dr. Eduardo M. Rivera

The Congress of the United States and President of the United States Are Limited by and to the Constitution of the United States You Are Not

We may safely conclude that neither the Congress nor the President of the United States have read all four Organic Laws of the United States of America. It should surprise no one that the absence of any intellectual curiosity about the contents of the Organic Laws of the United States of America has contributed significantly to the continued broken state of the federal government and the diminution of personal freedom. The Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776 and Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 protect the unalienable rights of the free inhabitants. The Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 and Constitution of September 17, 1787 confer certain rights determined by government to inhabitants on the territory or other property owned by or subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States of America. - Dr. Eduardo M. Rivera

The Importance of Territorial Jurisdiction

Common Sense Limits Supreme Law to Federal Territory

OLI supplies the proof that ordinary common sense knowledge of natural law trumps even the “supreme Law of the Land,” when that “Land” was nothing more than the kind of land which was the subject of the Northwest Ordinance. The broken federal government does not use regular common sense because the Congress of the United States and the President of the United States are making law for the “United States” but writing that law so it can be mistakenly applied to people living and working on territory not owned by the United States of America. The “Land” where the Article VI “supreme Law” has been supreme is the Northwest Territory. The “district” has been constantly diminishing in land mass while its population of citizens of the United States grows as they are counted in the federal census and they register to vote. - Dr. Eduardo M. Rivera

Q & A

Question: I have never paid attention to the Oath of Office administered to local officials until I heard Bill Clinton swear in the Mayor of New York. He actually used the words in the Article VI Oath -- to SUPPORT this constitution. It of course was oral, but I have never heard the word "support" in an oath before and was wondering your opinion. I also have a question about Bill Clinton administering this oath. He is an impeached President so can he be considered a public official or just a public person? Is it not a requirement that a public official administer this oath? - JK

Answer: The Constitution of September 17, 1787 is a mix of invocations, alterations and amendments. It invokes Article IX and X of the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777, so the new Senate can operate as a Committee of States. It alters the Articles of Confederation by adding a President of the United States of America and Vice President it amends the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 to include a President of the United States and Vice President and a Congress of the United States, thus creating a Constitution of the United States.

This mix of activities makes it impossible for one person “to uphold the Constitution” ( an active role), so Article VI properly uses “to support this Constitution.”

William Jefferson Clinton was impeached, but not convicted. A person who officiates at an oath merely prompts the person actually taking the oath. The law imposing the oath of office may impose conditions on how the oath is taken. If no conditions are set, the oath may be taken any way that satisfies written law.

Question: As written, the Constitution of September 17, 1787, reveals that the People of the several States (appear 8 times vs. 1 time for several State) shall choose the House of Representatives’ Members, while it reveals that the Legislature of each State shall choose the Senators. And Article II, Section 2, Clause 1 reads: “The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.”

Would you please enlighten me as to the differences between “several States,” “several State,” “United States,” and “each State,” as found in the written Constitution? - EE

Answer: The Constitution of September 17, 1787 is both a revision of the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 and the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777. The differences you have noted relate to one or the other. Note the reference to “this Union” in Article I Section 2 Clause 3 and “the Union” in Article II Section 3 Clause 1. “This Union” refers to the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 and “the Union” refers to the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777.
