Seminar #5 the Natural Rights Constitution of the Liberty States of America: State Sovereignty in the Liberty States of America

Abstract

“We the People” is the single most damaging text of Madison’s Constitution, in terms of damaging state sovereignty and individual natural rights. The text has been used by the U. S. Supreme Court, for 230 years, as the justification for the Federalist conversion of the American government from a natural rights individualistic culture of individual states, to a centralized, consolidated national government. The charade of “We the People” hides the fact that there were no “We the People,” who wrote the Constitution. There were only 37 self-appointed, self-selected, financial elites who signed an unbalanced, unfair set of rules that empowered the elites with perpetual control over non-elites. Madison called for the Grand Convention in a resolution to the Virginia Legislature. Only 6 states responded to Madison’s call to amend the Articles of Confederation.
