Requirement for Consent

8. Government kidnaps your civil legal identity and transports it to a legislatively foreign jurisdiction by enforcing 1 legislatively foreign law upon you. They do this by: 2 8.1. Quotes or enforces foreign law not from your domicile against you. 3 8.2. Violates Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 17(b). 4 8.3. Uses irrelevant law or case law from a foreign jurisdiction as the equivalent of “political propaganda” designed to 5 mislead people into obedience to it. 6 8.4. Violates or misrepresents choice of law rules. 7 9. Government PRESUMES that any or all of the above are a “benefit” and then forces you to pay for it in the form of 8 “taxes”, even though YOU identify it as an INJURY and NOT a “benefit”. All such “presumptions” are a violation of 9 due process of law. 10

Rousseau’s description of the Social Contract/Compact

18

The terms of the “social compact” at the heart of every civilized society are exhaustively described in the following classic 19 book by Jacques Rousseau written just before the U.S. Constitution was written: 20

The Social Contract or Principles of Political Right , Jean Jacques Rousseau, 1762 HTML: http://famguardian.org/Publications/TheSocialContract-Rousseau/Rousseau%20Social%20Contract.htm PDF: http://famguardian.org/Publications/TheSocialContract-Rousseau/The_social_contract.pdf

Rousseau is also widely regarded as the father of socialism. In chapter 8 of the above book he even describes all 21 governments as what he calls a “civil religion”. Here is the way Rousseau describes the “social compact” that forms the 22 foundation of all societies: 23

There is but one law which, from its nature, needs unanimous consent. This is the social compact; for civil association is the most voluntary of all acts. Every man being born free and his own master, no one, under any pretext whatsoever, can make any man subject without his consent. To decide that the son of a slave is born a

26

slave is to decide that he is not born a man.

27

If then there are opponents when the social compact is made, their opposition does not invalidate the contract, but merely prevents them from being included in it. They are foreigners among citizens. When the State is instituted, residence constitutes consent; to dwell within its territory is to submit to the Sovereign. 31

Apart from this primitive contract, the vote of the majority always binds all the rest. This follows from the contract itself. But it is asked how a man can be both free and forced to conform to wills that are not his own.

31

32

How are the opponents at once free and subject to laws they have not agreed to?

33

I retort that the question is wrongly put. The citizen gives his consent to all the laws, including those which are passed in spite of his opposition, and even those which punish him when he dares to break any of them. The constant will of all the members of the State is the general will; by virtue of it they are citizens and free 32 . When in the popular assembly a law is proposed, what the people is asked is not exactly whether it approves or rejects the proposal, but whether it is in conformity with the general will, which is their will. Each man, in giving his vote, states his opinion on that point; and the general will is found by counting votes. When therefore the opinion that is contrary to my own prevails, this proves neither more nor less than that I was mistaken, and that what I thought to be the general will was not so. If my particular opinion had carried the day I should have achieved the opposite of what was my will; and it is in that case that I should not have been free.

31 This should of course be understood as applying to a free State; for elsewhere family, goods, lack of a refuge, necessity, or violence may detain a man in a country against his will; and then his dwelling there no longer by itself implies his consent to the contract or to its violation. 32 At Genoa, the word Liberty may be read over the front of the prisons and on the chains of the galley-slaves. This application of the device is good and just. It is indeed only malefactors of all estates who prevent the citizen from being free. In the country in which all such men were in the galleys, the most perfect liberty would be enjoyed.
