The Principles of Liberty Series Principle of Liberty # 18 A Written Constitution... Throughout history, many nations and peoples have managed their affairs without written laws. Relying on oral laws passed from generation to generation often left the people vulnerable to the whims of their rulers and subject to an unjust rule. When the Norman Conquerors quickly dismissed Anglo-Saxon common law and traditions, feudal lords ruled by their decrees ignoring hundreds of years of recognized oral law and customs in England. People lost their lands, paid oppressive taxes, and were no longer considered free men. Henry the First began to restore some of the Anglo-Saxon laws in his Charter of Liberties, which sought to bind the king to the law in his treatment of the people. In 1215, the barons moved again to restrict the abuses of the king, when they forced King John to sign the Magna Charta. In America, the Pilgrims signed the Mayflower Compact, our first written charter, before they set foot on this new land. The Fundamental Orders of Connecticut was our first written constitution adopted by three townships in Connecticut and served as the model for the constitution that we adopted in 1787. Time has proven that a written constitution stabilizes a society. Law protects the rights and property of the citizens. The people are secure, knowing they are not subject to the whims of men. Our written constitution is designed to protect and secure the rights of individuals from governmental abuse of power. *note: The Principles of Liberty series is a summary of ideas presented in the book titled: 5000 year leap.

Federal Reserve Bank - bringing you inflation via Fiat Money since 1933. End the Federal Reserve and return to the GOLD Standard!

Can you say #UNCONSTITUTIONAL ? Since when does the Constitution authorize Congress to collect taxes for the purpose of re-distributing the taxes back to the taxpayers? - Minus handling fees and postage? If the Federal Government has surplus cash that they feel they need to REFUND to tax payers, why not just give me a $2000 tax credit?... https://www.breitbart.com//how-congress-can-give-american/

Today in 1913, The Federal Reserve Act was signed into law by Woodrow Wilson. One of the most deplorable laws in the history of the United States, the act allow...ed for a cartel of banks to establish a legalized monopoly on the printing of currency, assured the continual artificial manipulation of interest rates, and perpetuated the most inequitable and callous of all taxes inflation. Many of the founders were adamantly opposed to central banks for these precise reasons. Thomas Jefferson wrote that he considered such banks to be more dangerous than standing armies, and wrote that paper was the ghost of money, and not money itself. James Madison was equally disturbed by the emissions of paper money under the Articles of Confederation, remarking that restraints against paper emissions and violations of contracts are not sufficient. Under that system, the disastrous paper money experiment of the Continentals, along with inflationary state bills of credit, had produced an economic calamity. Roger Sherman made a motion in the Philadelphia Convention which would restrict the coining of money to the Congress and also prohibit both the federal government and the states from issuing paper money. Sherman considered the occasion to be an ample opportunity for crushing paper money. With very few friends of paper money in the convention, his motion was carried by a strong majority of eight states in favor. A few months later, Thomas McKean celebrated that the Constitution put an end put on the pernicious speculation upon paper emissions. The Federal Reserve Act was concocted largely in secret on an island off the coast of Georgia known as Jekyll Island, a property owned by JP Morgan. There, a secret commission of private bankers and Senator Nelson Aldrich drew up the proposed outline for the plan that would become the act in 1910. The Federal Reserve has since monopolized the printing of money despite the Constitution’s explicit requirement that only Congress has the power to coin money and prohibition against paper emissions, injected mass quantities of fiat in to the market which has depreciated the value of currency as a whole, spurred numerous boom/bust cycles, and created unsustainable, artificial markets due to a massive series of mal-investments. The Federal Reserve has gradually weakened United States currency by departing from specie standards, and compounded the dangers many of the founders warned about in the 1780s. Its consequences have been ruinous. ---------------------------------------------- Dave Benner is the author of Compact of the Republic, which covers of genesis of the decentralized US political system and the extent to which government has violated its original boundaries and orientation: https://amzn.to/2LIPFWD Dave’s American History Podcast: www.soundcloud.com/dave-benner Dave’s Patreon: www.patreon.com/dbenner Dave's website: www.davebenner.com
