WHY SHOULD WE GET RID OF

THE FEDERAL DISTRICT COURTS

www.FederationofStates.org

The New World Order Establishment's ABSOLUTE KEY to the CONTROL, OPPRESSION AND HARASSMENT of our people in the various States of the United States is the Federal District Court System.

The Federal government has, over several decades, made more and more criminal laws which they say they are allowed to prosecute under various stretches of certain Constitutional provisions or theories of how and why they think they could have jurisdiction over these cases to inflict Federal trial and punishment upon individuals living within the various States.

The founding fathers very much did not want the central government in Washington, D.C. to have the power to arrest and try people in their States for alleged offenses the government suspects a person may have committed. They wanted for themselves and their posterity the freedom to enjoy Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, not essential slavery and subservience they were suffering under the King of England. They not only had the courage to stand against the abuses of the British Empire, they Abolished their political ties with England and established a new government for themselves under the Articles of Confederation. Later, in 1787, realizing that more coordination was needed to effectively function as a national confederacy, they began the process of amending the Articles of Confederation (Constitution).

There was a faction amongst them, however, that was in favor of strong federal centralization or even monarchy who were called "Federalists or Tories" and these jumped on the amendment process to try to turn the Confederacy from a Republic into a fledgling Empire.

Realizing the dangers of centralization that the Amended Constitution posed which were ratified on June 21, 1789, principle Anti-Federalists (James Madison and Thomas Jefferson and others) moved to establish a Bill of Rights as amendments to this amended and ratified Constitution of 1789 aimed at curtailing the powers of the new general government and protecting the rights of the States and their citizens from a potential King or Czar in Washington.. The Bill of Rights (Ten Amendments) were ratified in September 1789 and became effective December 15, 1791.

However, these Federalists were able to stampede the new inexperienced congressmen to permit the establishment of federal District Courts* in each State just three months after the ratification of the Amended Articles of Confederation (Constitution) to the alarm of the anti-Federalists. The Federalists got this done before the Anti-Federalist Bill of Rights including the Tenth Amendment was ratified. The Judicial Act of 1789 was clearly in violation of the spirit of the Constitution of protecting State's Rights and was considered unconstitutional by the Anti-Federalists. This Judicial Act was the Key to power for the Federalists.*(The Judiciary Act of 1789: "An Act to establish the Judicial Courts of the United States." 1 Stat. 73, September 24, 1789.)

As a measure to limit the authority of the federal District Courts operating within the States, the Eleventh Amendment was passed which was ratified on February 7, 1795.

(Eleventh Amendment. The Judicial power of the united States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by citizens of another State, or by Citizens or Subjects of any Foreign State.)

But, through the years, with the corrupting effect of public funds which Congress could vote for their own constituents advantage in the form of public works and public welfare, centralization began to make dangerous gains in Washington at the expense of States' Rights and thereby exposing the people to an increasing loss of their ability to resist Federal encroachment against their rights. The people were losing local control of their own States.

This predicted dangerous erosion of rights began showing up in the early 1800's centered around the federal District Courts and the Circuit Courts leading up to a Jeffersonian Republican Judiciary Act of 1802 which abolished the circuit judgeships and reorganized the federal courts.

Federal District Courts were still in the States, however, and the erosion of rights gained momentum during the mid 1800's, leaping ahead during the Lincoln war against the South and continuing during reconstruction, World War I and II with an ever growing Federal bureaucracy which had grown fangs with federal agencies and bureaucrats which, instead of being public servants, were beginning to arrogantly behave as the masters of the States and the people.

The new USA Patriot Act and followup USA Patriot II (Victory) Act being considered essentially take away all of the Bill of Rights granted to us by God and enumerated for us by our founding fathers led by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. If we let the bureaucrats get away with this we deserve the fate that awaits us and our posterity; abject economic slavery for all regardless of race. The unconstitutional federal District Court's illegal action ordering the removal of the Ten Commandments from the Alabama Supreme Court building is but a hint of the plans of these Federal Imperialists. We saw what these Feds did to the people, including children, of the Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas. Neither the ATF nor the FBI had any Constitutional jurisdiction to be involved inside of Texas or any other State. Our States all have Sheriffs and State police.

In the appendix of this article you will find a copy of the BILL OF RIGHTS for your review along with the Eleventh Amendment. These have been passed and ratified as part of the U. S. Constitution and were also made a part of the Confederate Constitution of 1861. These are minimum rights required by a free people.

BUT, NOW MUST WE ACCEPT THE LOSS OF OUR FREEDOMS FOR ALLEGED SECURITY FROM THE TERRORISTS? SOME SAY YES. BUT, WHICH TERRORISTS WILL THREATEN US THE MOST IN YEARS TO COME? SURELY THEY WILL NOT BE OUR VERY OWN TERRORISTS; OUR OWN ANTI-TERRORIST POLICE UNDER HOMELAND SECURITY? WHY DOES "HOMELAND" SOUND A LOT LIKE "FATHERLAND"? ARE THERE ENOUGH GREY HEADS STILL OUT THERE WHO KNOW OF THE FATHERLAND AND THE THIRD REICH - - THE ONE WITH THE GESTAPO AND ADOLF HITLER? THINK ABOUT IT BEFORE YOU GIVE AWAY TOO MUCH POWER.

The U. S. Constitution does allow for the Federal government to have jurisdiction in certain situations. But, it fails to authorize Federal Courts within our States. Oh yes, our Congress has erroneously assumed the power to delegate more and more Jurisdiction inside of our States to the Federal Judiciary. But, these grants by Congress have been entirely UNCONSTITUTIONAL and are therefor, according to law, VOID.

The U. S. Supreme has looked the other way and allowed this shameful unconstitutional practice to continue in all of the States of the Union. But, a two thirds majority of the States can overrule the entire U. S. Government because the States created this government and a majority of States can abolish it or a portion thereof as well.

The people are the ultimate moral authority as to who rules them or the type of government under God that they are willing to establish. Of course, a mere handful of the people only have a little say.

However, a demand by an overwhelming number of people have the say. And the power to abolish any government even within a State or to abolish a portion of it that they may deem dangerous and unconstitutional is our Right of Abolishment cited in the Declaration of Independence. In such a case, Congress or a State Legislature can either obey the will of the people, or be replaced or even overrun. Remember the tanks shooting into the Russian parliament building in Moscow causing the fall of the U.S.S.R? It happened in Romania too, since their totalitarian (Communist/Centralist) parliament arrogantly also refused to listen to their people.

It should not be necessary nor prudent for the people to abolish the U.S. Government, but only the unconstitutional federal District Court System within the various States of the Union.

We are sorry about the somewhat dry and difficult reading of law in this article below, but isn't your freedom and the freedom of your family worth the effort? Below we show the pertinent authority given by the Constitution to Congress and we critique where error lies for the assumption of power and usurpation of authority: (Our approving comments are shown in blue text and the critique against the Federal power grab is shown in red italicized text.)(We have bolded or underlined certain key phrases or words in the Constitutional provisions printed below. We have added inside of [brackets], words for clarification.)(Strikeout of text '~~text'~~ or grey highlighting 'text' shows portions of the Constitution overruled by Amendment XI.)

ARTICLE I, (U. S. Constitution)

SECTION 8. The Congress shall have Power:

(Primary grants of power are listed below allowing Federal Jurisdiction.)

To regulate [fair, legal and balanced] Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes; (This says nothing about establishing Federal Tribunals/Courts within the States. The States already had Courts and could try Federal laws regulating commerce required of them by this Federal power.)

To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States; (This says nothing about establishing Federal Tribunals/Courts within the States. The States already had Courts and could try Federal laws regulating Naturalization and Bankruptcies required of them by this Federal power.)

To provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States; (Reasonable)(However, there is still no grant of authority to establish Federal District Courts or Federal Grand Juries within the States. The State Courts could try Federal laws regarding counterfeiting, etc. upon indictments issued by State Grand Juries.)

To constitute Tribunals inferior to the supreme Court; (This says nothing about establishing Federal Tribunals / Courts within the States. The States already had Courts and could try cases in violation of Federal laws.)

To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offenses against the Law of nations; (It makes sense for the Federal government to handle crimes committed on the high seas).

To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces; (Good).

To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions; (Repelling invasions makes sense.) (But the Federal power to suppress Insurrections [inferring within the States] was a reach beyond the Federal limit which was overturned by the Eleventh Amendment. Governors of States have National Guard units and State Militia to use in case of riots an even insurrection within the State.)

To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such (not exceeding ten Miles Square) District [District of Columbia] as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress become the Seat of Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings;--And (This is reasonable and please notice that it requires Consent of the State Legislature to sell land to the Federal government for such usage.) (Yet, this still does not grant authority to establish federal Courts or Federal Juries within the State for cases outside of the Federal property.)

To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof. (This general grant of authority still does not authorize the establishment of a Federal District Court System within a State.)

ARTICLE III. (U. S. Constitution)

SECTION 1. The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. (Inferior Courts may be authorized in the District of Columbia and Military Courts on Federal government Forts built on Federal property and Federal Territories. The Federal government has jurisdiction over the troops in Federal buildings, on Federal property or within Federal Territories.) (This does not authorize Congress to establish Inferior Federal Courts within a State other than in or on Federal property nor for jurisdiction reaching out from that property into the State of which such Federal property exits.)

SECTION 2. The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority;--to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls;--to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction;--to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party;--to Controversies between two or more States;--between a State and Citizens of another State;--between Citizens of different States,--between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects. (Clearly, the grant of Judicial Power here is justified, except that Amendment XI forbids Federal Jurisdiction -between a State and Citizens of another State;--between Citizens of different States,--between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects. This amends and removes the authority for the words in Article II, Section 2 just stated in red bolded text.)

. . .

The Trial of all Crimes, except in Cases of Impeachment, shall be by Jury; and such Trial shall be held in the State where the said Crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed within any State, the Trial shall be at such Place or Places as the Congress may, by Law, have directed. (This is a reasonable grant of authority and requirement for a Jury trial which must be held within the State where the Crimes shall have been committed, but no authority is given to establish Federal District Courts within the State to try such crimes, leaving the State Courts the responsibility and authority).

ARTICLE IV. (U. S. Constitution)

SECTION 2.

The Congress shall have Power to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property belonging to the United States; and nothing in this Constitution shall be so construed as to Prejudice any Claims of the United States, or of any particular State. (Here is a grant of power to Congress control, make rules and regulate affairs and claims within a Federal Territory. This is reasonable).

SECTION 4. The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence. (Congress gave the Federal government the duty to protect a State from domestic Violence upon the formal request of the State Legislature or the Governor thereof.)

(Again, however, no authority was given to Congress to establish Federal District Courts nor Marshals within the State.)

ARTICLE VI. (U. S. Constitution)

... This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all 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.. . .(Here is proof that the writers of the Constitution intended for State Courts to carry out Federal law within the State).

NOW LET US STUDY THE FOLLOWING AMENDMENTS BY OUR FORE FATHERS TO THE CONSTITUTION WHICH NOT ONLY ALTERED ERRONEOUS GRANTS OF AUTHORITY IN THE MAIN BODY OF THE CONSTITUTION IN FAVOR OF THE STATES , THEY FORTIFIED THE RIGHTS OF THE STATES AND THE PEOPLE AGAINST POWERS OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AS FOLLOWS:

AMENDMENT IX.

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. (The people certainly retain the right of self determination in the face of governmental tyranny under whatever excuse such tyranny may attempt to be justified and this includes most assuredly the rights and duties of the people granted to the people in the Declaration of Independence of 1776 of Abolishment.)

AMENDMENT X.

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 Constitutional grant of powers to Congress and the Judiciary listed above clearly have never delegated authority to the United States to establish Federal District Court Systems within the States for general Federal control, oppression and harassment of the people within the States. These unauthorized and therefore unconstitutional Federal District Court Systems in the States include not only Federal Judges, but the Marshals, U.S. Attorneys and none of the federal agencies such as the FBI, DEA, BATF, SEC, FTC, EPA Secret Service, and yes, even the Department of Homeland Security, etc. are authorized by the Constitution to be in the States or any place other than only in Federal Districts and Territories wherein they have jurisdiction.)

AMENDMENT XI. (This amendment makes clear that our arguments in italicized red text are correct.)

The Judicial power of the united States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by citizens of another State, or by Citizens or Subjects of any Foreign State.

This amendment overturns a portion of Article III, Section 2. shown below in strike out where Judicial power had been given to the United States to extend to suits in law or equity ~~between a State and Citizens of another State;--between Citizens of different States,--between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects.~~ (Amendment XI, which was ratified in 1798, was necessary to limit those in Washington, D.C. in their reach for jurisdiction within the States for various differing circumstances. Clearly, the Federal Judiciary was to stay out of the States who created the government in the first place. Any supposed excuse for U. S. District Courts and their associated entourage of agents and marshals to establish themselves or to remain established in a newly admitted State is negated by this Constitutional amendment.)

THE CONCLUSION OF THE STUDY OF OUR CONSTITUTION MAKES IT OVERWHELMINGLY CLEAR THAT THE FOUNDING FATHERS GRANTED NO CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY TO THE UNITED STATES TO ESTABLISH FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT SYSTEMS WITHIN ANY OF THE STATES IN THE UNION. THOSE PEOPLE WHO WOULD CHOOSE TO REMAIN FREE MUST ACT NOW, WITH URGENCY. ABOLISH THE FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT SYSTEM!

Here is why. After many decades of encroachment and abuse of discretion and authority, the Federal Government has reached the point where those in control of our elected officials are demanding the rest of their goal, the total subjugation of the People of the United States of America into a totalitarian form of government subservient to the United Nations to establish a New World Order Empire (A World Plantation of worker slaves with just enough privileges to keep them going and a very substantial police state enforcement (Gestapo Style) against the people for any resistence that the Federal Government might imagine or perceive.)

Below are listed the first Eleven Amendments (often referred to as the Bill of Rights). We are showing you these because these are the rights you are about to lose to the Patriot Acts, the mother of all totalitarian acts passed thus far save the act that created the Federal Reserve Bank. In red italicized text we shall briefly show how this act will remove these rights from you, leaving you only the pretext of them which might be allowed to you as a privilege from time to time if you cooperate with the masters.

U. S. Constitutional AMENDMENT I.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. (You have been seeing religion attacked by the Federal Government, not just the recent Ten Commandment ordeal in Alabama where a Federal District Court ordered the Chief Justice of the State Supreme Court to remove those Ten Commandments from public view, what about Mt. Carmel, Waco, Texas? What about prayer in our Schools, what about the anti-religious teachings of homosexuality and Darwanistic Evolution? Police and Sheriff Deputies are being denied their freedom of speech, as well as their freedom of religion. These rights are going going and nearly gone.)

U. S. Constitutional AMENDMENT II.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. (Notice this amendment refers to a free "State" and not a free "Nation" nor a free "Federal Government". Requiring stiff registration restrictions upon the people for their firearms is certainly an infringement of their right to keep and bear Arms.)

U. S. Constitutional AMENDMENT IV.

The right of the people to be secure in their person, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. (NOTE: The USA PATRIOT Act declares that search warrants are no longer required, when the Feds have "reasonable suspicion" that national security is involved. How would you feel, if your home were searched, without a search warrant, perhaps late at night? Many homes are unconstitutionally being entered, nationwide, without the occupants being notified prior to or afterwards. This Amendment IV is being illegally and blatantly violated.) (Who decides if there is reasonable cause or suspicion that national security might be at risk? What is the definition of national security? Just who is it that makes the decision to raid your home or to seize you?)

U. S. Constitutional AMENDMENT V.

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation.

(NOTE: Many hundreds and possibly thousands of people are being jailed for months and sometimes years, "without due process" and without their relatives being told that they have been arrested. Records and personal possessions are being copied and often taken, without a search warrant.) (This does not refer to those taken prisoner in the Afghan war and who are being detained at Guantanamo Naval Base, Cuba under military law.)

U. S. Constitutional AMENDMENT VI.

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining Witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.

(Note: This does not authorize Federal District Courts within the State nor does it authorize Federal Grand Juries within the State.) (Many hundreds and possibly thousands of people are being jailed for months and sometimes years, "without due process" and without their relatives being told that they have been arrested. Records and personal possessions are being copied and often taken, without a search warrant.)(Most of the 1,200 arrested concerning 9-11 have not been allowed "the right……to a speedy and public trial!" In fact, most have never been charged with a crime; yet they've been jailed for more than one year and many have not been allowed to speak to a "counsel" or attorney of their choice. The Patriot Acts will take your rights. Would you agree that this is a clear violation rights and a threat to everyone's and possibly your's or a loved one's future;

"This Right is Denied!……to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation"?
"This Right is Denied!……to be confronted with the witnesses against them"?
"This Right is Denied!……to have the assistance of counsel"? (Many are not allowed to speak to their counsel, attorney or anyone; And if they do, their conversations are illegally recorded.)

U. S. Constitutional AMENDMENT VII.

In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise reexamined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law. (Even before the Patriot Act, as led by the Federal District Courts, the policy of "Summary Judgments" has entered allowing the Judge to negate the right of trial by jury and to simply rule on the case himself.)

U. S. Constitutional AMENDMENT VIII.

Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. (Even before the Patriot Act, the Federal government had established the policy of excessive bail, often in the $50,000 to $100,000 in range.)(Would you agree that it is cruel and unusual punishment to hold someone in jail for months or even years without charges or indictment which they could then defend themselves in court against or the possibility of reasonable bail? The Federal government has been and is now committing these atrocities.)

Under the Patriot Acts peaceful(anti-war) political activists could be arbitrarily labeled "terrorists" and arrested without warrants. The Patriot Act allows government to keep track of all of a person's credit card records, bank transactions, car rental receipts, gun purchases, passport applications, magazine subscriptions, medical prescriptions, academic grades, bank deposits, trips everyone books, events we attend, drivers licenses, bridge toll records, judicial and divorce records, rental car records, telephone records, internet traffic and complaints by nosy neighbors.

Instead of preserving our freedoms, this legislation has been implemented to destroy them.

The inappropriately named USA PATRIOT Act was devised to circumvent the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. It is touted as legislation to protect our unalienable and constitutional rights; on the contrary, it is a giant step toward a police state and not just an American Police State, but an International Police State that would operate right here in America against the people.

Folks, we aren't talking about Nazi Germany or Communist China, we are talking about the Federal Empire of the United States. These crimes being executed against our people by the Federal government are being approved and conducted through FEDERAL DISTRICT COURTS in YOUR STATE.

The ABSOLUTE KEY to the CONTROL, OPPRESSION, SUBJUGATION AND HARASSMENT of our people in the various States of the United States is the Unconstitutional FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT SYSTEM.

IT MUST BE ABOLISHED!

The teeth of obnoxious and unconstitutional Federal laws against our State citizens would be dulled if Court Orders for such enforcement had to be obtained from our State Courts and if the persons targeted had to be tried in the State and districts where the crime occurred. The absolute key to the Control, Oppression, Subjugation and Harassment of our people in the various States by the unconstitutional and tyrannical Federal government would be broken and freedom and security would return to our land for us and our posterity.

Some folks and even attorneys who make their living practicing in the Federal District Courts, may say: "We've had these courts for a long time; why hasn't someone complained before now? How will we be able to operate and keep order without them?"

The answer to the first submission is that in the past Jeffersonian Anti-Federalists have fought tooth and nail to oppose the imposition of these federal Courts within our States, while the Federalists (Centralists) have fought not only to keep these Courts at our doorsteps, but to increase their power to oppress us. Its our fight now!

States have no need for a federal Court nor does Constitutional justification exist for the maintenance of the Federal power system in such State which is centered around each federal District Court and the U. S. Attorney assigned therein.

To answer the second submission, after those unconstitutional Federal District Courts are abolished, then when disputes between parties in two or three separate States occur, there is no reason why those States cannot convene temporary special interstate Courts made up of State Supreme Court Justices from the States in dispute equally, with a Judge from a different State that is not involved acting as moderator. The case could be very justly decided without inviting invasion of these States with unconstitutional Federal District Courts. In such cases, appeals from the decision of such "special interstate" Court would need to be filed in the appropriate and Constitutional U. S. Court of Appeal.

The Judges of the various States are already Constitutionally charged with the responsibility of upholding Federal law, thus any cases that might arise against parties within a State and by the Federal government over supposed Federal violations of law would Constitutionally be held in State District Court and not in unconstitutional Federal District Courts. That would be a correct system. The abuse to our judicial system is the unconstitutional federal District Court System and its entourage of hoards of armed Federal agents within our various States.

Local Juries should be deciding the cases involving Federal law which should be held in State District Courts presided over by State Judges. For criminal complaints, State Grand Juries should be used to decide upon No Bills or Indictments, even for Federal complaints against persons and entities within any State. Federal Grand Juries operating within a State are also an unconstitutional abuse of Federal power and must be abolished along with their unconstitutional federal District Courts. ("In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed. . .")

U. S. Constitutional AMENDMENT XI. (Added in 1798)

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE 1776

In Congress, July 4, 1776

The First Three Paragraphs

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America:

When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another , and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain 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 to 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. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. to prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
