THE ENGLISH COMMON LAW IS THE LAW IN 49 STATES
November 25, 2008 by edrivera
English colonists brought the English common law with them, when they came to America. The common law remained the law after July 4, 1776 and even after the 1783 Treaty of Paris recognized the thirteen states as free and independent of Great Britain, the English common law was still the law of the people.
Only in Louisiana is the law not the common law. Readers new to my research and writing are wondering about all the written law they know to exist. What is the place of written law? In America, all written law is law for government. The President of the United States really does run the country, if you want to believe that. The truth is the President’s country is defined in the written law and you are not in it.
The New Year’s resolutions you wrote down and promised to follow are laws for government. They are self-imposed rules, but they were made to govern you. The English common law allows you to rule yourself, provided you know the law that rules the king. The English King, according to the Declaration of Independence violated his rules.
The purpose of the English common law is to, also, govern behavior by making rules that are enforced by the people themselves sitting in grand and petit juries. Questions of a common law marriage have to be determined by common law jurors, when the married partners can’t resolve them without resort to legal process.
Traditionally, the sheriff facilitated the operation of the common law by assembling the jurors for a common law trial. Today, sheriffs operate the county jail and perform written law enforcement. The people are not taught the law or its history, so they are doomed to repeat all the mistakes. I am trying to teach them so they can qualify as common law jurors.
Shortly, after the people defeated the British and removed the King of England from power here, government began to encroach on the rights of the people just as had been described in the Declaration of Independence.
George Washington led the forces that began the destruction of the common law with the substitution of written government law. That process is a frequent topic here, so it will not be discussed in detail. The so-called Founding Fathers created a law making system and law enforcement system called the United States Government that begins to systematically create written law system for the people of the United States as soon as nine States ratify the Constitution.
George Washington was trusted and thought to be honest by most people, so he was able to publically take an oath that would require him to “preserve, protect and defend” the property of the government without regard to the “unalienable Rights” of the people. The oath taken by the President of the United States is the model for the United States Government, as well as, all the other oaths in States and local governments.
Because every President of the United States of America has appointed himself to be President of the United States, every President performs the only oath he has taken as if he is an occupying military commanding officer. As a military occupation is incompatible with the English common law, the common law has been ignored, as written government law has been extended beyond government property.
Codes written by State governments have sought to replace the common law for the people within the state. State Constitutions are subordinated to “this Constitution” by the language in Article VI: “This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all the Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.”
“This Constitution” and the State constitutions which are established pursuant to Article VI are the exclusive sources of authority for all the law written for government. Close examination of all State constitutions will reveal that they only apply to government, to government property and on government land
