The Full Story
Road To the Republic
"We The People"
A term that declares that the constitution derives its power, not from the king, president or congress, but from the people themselves!
Constitution
The original Constitution of 1788 contained very few specific restrictions on the ways in which the power of the national government could be exercised against the people.
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
The Tenth Amendment’s simple language—“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people”
Bill Of Rights
At the 1878 Constitutional Convention, the state delegates maintained that inclusion of a bill of rights would be dangerous, because it might suggest that the national government had powers that it had not actually been granted. As Alexander Hamilton put it, bills of rights “would contain various exceptions to powers not granted; and on this very account, would afford a colourable pretext to claim more than were granted. For why declare that things shall not be done, which there is no power to do?” Moreover, any list of rights would be incomplete. Such a list might indirectly endanger any rights not included on it.
Grand Jury
Common Law Grand Jury
- Is a lawful body, based on natural rights -
-
It requires 25 barons in accordance with article 61 of the Magna Carta, dated 1215.
-
It was agreed by the English barons with king John. It was used as a foundational common law tool by the 13 colonies in America and is still in force today; most recently Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia affirmed the GJ’s supremacy in US vs Williams in 1992.
-
Its purpose is to stand between the accused and accuser to allow the lawful process to determine a true bill or no bill based on a presentment provided to 25 barons of the common law grand jury.
-
When a de Jure People’s assembly is unsuccessful with a Petition for Redress of Grievance (PFROG) or other lawful notices, it may refer a presentment to the Grand Jury for further action.
-
The Grand Jury may or may not take a presentment under consideration depending on the merits of a claim.
-
An investigation may ensue under the oversight of 4 administrative investigators .
-
It may find that the facts merit a true bill , in which case it would generate a probable cause or even an indictment to be issued.
-
The case would then be considered by 12 jurors, and deliberations would be kept secret.
-
Last, but not least, a Grand Jury has the duty and obligation to regularly audit all functions of government and render a report about its findings.
