We the People

Most people are aware that "We the people" are sovereign in America.
"...at the revolution the Sovereignty devolved on the people; and they are truly the
sovereigns of the country, but they are sovereigns without subjects ......and have none to
govern but themselves; the citizens of America are equal as fellow citizens, and as joint
tenants in the sovereignty." Chisholm v Georgia, 2 Dall. 440, at pg 471;
"The words "people of the United States" and "citizens" are synonymous terms, and
mean the same thing. They both describe the political body who, according to our
republican institutions, form the sovereignty, and who hold the power and conduct the
Government through their representatives. They are what we familiarly call the
"sovereign people," and every citizen is one of this people, and a constituent member of
the sovereignty." Dredd Scott v Sandford, 60 US 393, at pg 404;
So what does it mean to be sovereign? It means that you have all of the rights of the
King.
"People of a state are entitled to all rights, which formerly belong to the King by his
prerogative." Lansing v Smith, (1829) 4 Wendell 9,20 (NY).

"The people or sovereign are not bound by general word in statutes, restrictive of
prerogative right, title or interest, unless expressly named. Acts of limitation do not bind
the King or the people. The people have been ceded all the rights of the King, the former
sovereign,.....It is a maxim of the common law, that when an act is made for the common
good and to prevent injury, the King shall be bound, though not named, but when a
statute is general and prerogative right would be divested or taken from the King (or the
people) he shall not be bound." People v Herkimer, 4 Cowen (NY) 345, 348 (1825)
"It will be admitted on all hands that with the exception of the powers granted to the
states and the federal government, through the Constitutions, the people of the several
states are unconditionally sovereign within their respective states." Ohio L. Ins. & T. Co.
v. Debolt, 16 How. 416, 14 L.Ed. 997.
Every nation on the planet, is a nation of Kings and Queens. Many people will find this
hard to believe but the courts have affirmed this on numerous occasions. This is because
of what is known as common law.
In fact, the courts have ruled that there is NOTHING that the government can do to
affect "the people".
"Sovereignty itself is, of course, not subject to law, for it is the author and source of law;
….." Yick Wo v Hopkins, 118 US 356, at pg 370;
Inasmuch as every government is an artificial person, an abstraction, and a creature of
the mind only, a government can interface only with other artificial persons. The
imaginary, having neither actuality nor substance, is foreclosed from creating and
attaining parity with the tangible. The legal manifestation of this is that no government,
as well as any law, agency, aspect, court, etc. can concern itself with anything other than
corporate, artificial persons and the contracts between them.
Penhallow v. Doane's Administraters 3 U.S. 54; 1 L.Ed. 57; 3 Dall. 54, (1795)
In fact the courts have also ruled that the ONLY authority held by the government is
authority that is "delegated" by the people.
"…., while sovereign powers are delegated to the agencies of government, sovereignty
itself remains with the people, by whom and for whom all government exists and
acts." Yick Wo v Hopkins, 118 US 356, at pg 370;
The ONLY legitimate authority that any government has is delegated by "we the
people", so what does that mean?
Can I delegate to the government the authority to take some money from you and give it
to the guy down the street because he is broke?
NO!
