The People are the
Creators of the Federal and State governments in the United States and in the united States. The
People as the Creators, are the Sovereign: The government is the
Created;
The government is a subservient tool for the purpose of protecting
the Life, Liberty, and Property of the Sovereign.
Sovereignty itself is, of
course, not subject to law, for it is the
author and source of law; but in our system, 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.
Supreme Court - Yick Wo v. Hopkins, 118 U.S. 356 (1886) |
- Sovereignty remains
with the people.
- The people are the author and source of law.
- Sovereign powers are delegated.
- Government exists and acts for the people.
I am one of the People. As
one of the People, I am
one of the authors and source of law. You are one of the People. As one
of the People, you are one of the authors and source of law.
Thus, It is OUR POWER that is
delegated
to the government. Government
is OUR Agent,
we are the Principals.

Article 1, Section 1 of
the U.S.
Constitution
All legislative Powers
herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United
States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.
|
All legislative Powers
herein granted...
In other words, all the powers that We the People consent to give to
government in government's rule and law making authority.
We hold these truths to
be self-evident, that all men are created
equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with inherent and
unalienable rights; that among these, are life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness; that to
secure these rights, governments are
instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the
consent of
the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive
of these ends, it
is the right of the people to alter or abolish it,
and to institute new government,
laying its foundation on such
principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them
shall
seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.
- Declaration of Independence.

I am the Sovereign. I have Sovereignty. The government is the
