Our forefathers, weary of the oppressive measures that King
George III's government forced upon them, in common declared
their independence from England in 1776. They were not expected
to be successful in that resistance. The moneyed people had
backed England for two major reasons. First, our forefathers
wanted a rigid, written Constitution "set in concrete." They
were familiar with the so-called Constitution of England which
consisted largely of customs, precedents, traditions, and
understandings, often vague and always flexible. They wanted the
principle of English common law, that an act done by any official
person or law-making body beyond his or its legal competence was
simply void. Second, the thirteen little colonies desired to
base their union on substance (gold and silver) -- real money.
They well knew how the despotic governments of Europe were
mortgaged to the hilt -- lock, stock, and barrel, the land, the
people, everything -- to certain wealthy men who controlled the
banks, the currency, and all credit, who lent credit but did not
loan gold and silver!
The United States of America was made up of a union of what is
now fifty sovereign States, a three-branch (legislative,
executive, and judicial) Republic known as The United States of
America, or as termed in this article, the Continental United
States. Its citizenry live in one of the fifty States, and its
laws are based on the Constitution, which is based on Common Law.
Less than one hundred years after we became a nation, a loophole
was discovered in the Constitution by cunning lawyers in league
with the international bankers. They realized that a separate
nation existed, by the same name, that Congress had created in
Article I, Section 8, Clause 17. This "United States" is a
Legislative Democracy within the Constitutional Republic, and is
known as the Federal United States. It has exclusive, unlimited
rule over its citizenry, the residents of the District of
Columbia, the territories and enclaves (Guam, Midway Islands,
Wake Island, Puerto Rico, etc.), and anyone who is a citizen by
way of the 14th Amendment (naturalized citizens).
Both United States have the same Congress that rules in both
nations. One "United States," the Republic of fifty States, has
the "stars and stripes" as its flag, but without any fringe on
it. The Federal United States' flag is the stars and stripes
with a yellow fringe, seen in all the courts. The abbreviations
of the States of the Continental United States are, with or
without the zip codes, Ala., Alas., Ariz., Ark., Cal., etc. The
abbreviations of the States under the jurisdiction of the Federal
United States, the Legislative Democracy, are AL, AK, AZ, AR, CA,
etc. (without any periods).
Under the Constitution, based on Common Law, the Republic of the
Continental United States provides for legal cases (1) at Law,
(2) in Equity, and (3) in Admiralty
