Bodies of Law that apply to State citizens as opposed to U.S. citizens.
Restored freedom, and shrinking the federal gov.
Below is a table which attempts to show what bodies of law might apply to a citizen depending on whether they claim US citizenship or State citizenship. The bodies of law are in the second (for State citizens) and third (for US citizens) columns. Backed up by quotes from court cases in the fourth column. Red is undesirable, Green is desirable. At the end of this short article, there are some legal details that are required to fully understand the information in the Table.
Bottom Line
For US citizenship:
Because US citizenship is ‘paramount and dominant’ over State citizenship, you are potentially subject to US Titles (statutes) that are NOT positive law, because Congress is NOT limited by the US Constitution when passing laws for the District of Columbia and you’re a citizen of the District of Columbia. This is why as US citizens we need ‘civil rights’.
For State citizenship:
HALF of the US Code Titles likely cannot be applied because of the constitutional limitations of the US Constitution when Congress passes laws for the 50 States; those Titles do not fall under the delegated powers in the US Constitution. Take any of the 27 Titles that are NOT positive law and find one that specifically applies to State citizens… I would bet there are none.
Legal Details
The term ‘United States’ has 3 legal definitions. We are only concerned with two of them:
United States = District of Columbia
OR
United States = 50 States of the Union.
The distinction is clearly illustrated in this quote by SCOTUS in Hooven and Allison Co. v. Evatt, when defining the two types of legislative powers of Congress:
“The United States [District of Columbia] may acquire territory by conquest or by treaty, and may govern it through the exercise of the power of Congress conferred by Section 3 of Article IV of the Constitution ... In exercising this power, Congress is NOT subject to the same constitutional limitations, as when it is legislating for the United States [50 States of the Union].”
I cannot emphasize the IMPORTANCE of the above quote in clarifying the difference between LEGAL definitions. I added the [ ] in the above quote to help clarify the point but remember that a non-woke reader would see ‘United States’ twice, thinking they mean the same thing – THEY DON’T! This is a clear example where a legal term, ‘United States’, is used in the same sentence, but the term has two different LEGAL meanings.
To put it simply, Congress is limited by the U.S. Constitution when legislating for the 50 states of the Union but is NOT limited within the area over which it has exclusive legislative jurisdiction, aka, the District of Columbia.
Reading your in depth analysis cuts through decades of legal clutter (designed to keep us confused, submissive and enslaved).
Thank you for this research and pointing out your most salient conclusions. My take away from your post:
GIVE ME LIBERTY (aka State Citizenship) or
GIVE ME DEATH (Federal Citizenship)..
does kinda put things into simplified format!
