Core Constitutional Concepts
The United States Constitution guarantees a republican form of government, not a democracy. This distinction is crucial for understanding how constitutional rights are protected from majority tyranny.
Key Points:
- • Republics protect individual rights through law
- • Democracies allow majority rule without limits
- • Founders explicitly chose republican government
- • Article IV, Section 4 guarantees this form
Corporations have been legal entities since the founding era. However, in 1886, a court reporter's fraudulent headnote—not an actual Supreme Court holding—fraudulently extended constitutional rights to corporations, allowing them to claim protections intended for natural persons.
Key Points:
- • Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad
- • Court reporter J.C. Bancroft Davis's conflict of interest
- • Enabled corporate capture of government
- • Foundation of current corporatocracy
Article VI, Clause 3 requires all government officers to take an oath to support the Constitution. Many states also require official bonds. Officers without proper oaths and bonds lack lawful authority.
Key Points:
- • Constitutional oath is mandatory for all officers
- • 35 states have automatic vacancy provisions
- • Bonds provide financial accountability
- • Enforcement through public records requests
Unalienable rights are inherent, God-given rights that cannot be surrendered, transferred, or taken away. They exist prior to government and are the very reason government is instituted—to secure these rights, not to grant them.
Key Points:
- • Rights exist prior to government
- • Government secures rights, doesn't grant them
- • Natural law vs. positive law distinction
- • Protection from government overreach
Delegated powers are the specific authorities that the Constitution grants to the federal government. Understanding how power is delegated—and where it comes from—is essential to recognizing when government exceeds its constitutional authority.
Key Points:
- • All power comes from the Constitution
- • Different jurisdictions have different legal frameworks
- • Insurrection Acts have strict limits
- • Exceeding authority is unconstitutional and void
Quo Warranto (Latin: "by what authority?") is a legal proceeding that challenges an official's right to hold office. It's a powerful tool for holding government officials accountable when they fail to meet constitutional prerequisites.
Key Points:
- • Challenges official's right to hold office
- • Enforces oath and bond requirements
- • Actions without authority are void
- • Citizens can file quo warranto actions
For over 100 years, individuals and businesses have challenged the Federal Reserve's constitutional authority. Learn why these challenges consistently fail on procedural grounds—not because the constitutional arguments lack merit.
Key Points:
- • Standing doctrine blocks most challenges
- • Appointments Clause arguments never addressed
- • Credit River case and bank admission
- • Constitutional merit vs. procedural barriers
