Requirement for Consent

“The idea prevails with some, indeed it has found expression in arguments at the bar, that we have in this country substantially two national governments; one to be maintained under the Constitution, with all of its restrictions; the other to be maintained by Congress outside the independently of that instrument, by exercising such powers [of absolutism] as other nations of the earth are accustomed to.. I take leave to say that, if the principles thus announced should ever receive the sanction of a majority of this court, a radical and mischievous [SATANIC] change in our system of government will result. We will, in that event, pass from the era of constitutional liberty guarded and protected by a written constitution into an era of legislative absolutism.. It will be an evil [SATANIC] day for American liberty if the theory of a government outside the supreme law of the land finds lodgment in our constitutional jurisprudence. No higher duty rests upon this court than to exert its full authority to prevent all violation of the principles of the Constitution. ”

WHICH of the two social compacts are you party to? Your choice of domicile determines that. It CAN’T legally be both 12 because you can only have a domicile in ONE place at a time. Furthermore, if you have been deceived by corrupt 13 politicians and “words of art” into becoming a party to BOTH social compacts, you are serving TWO masters, which is 14 forbidden by the Holy Bible: 15

“ No one can serve two masters [two employers, for instance]; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon [government]. ”

We might also add that franchises and the right to contract that they are based upon cannot lawfully be used to destroy the 21 separation between these two distinct jurisdictions. Preserving that separation is, in fact, the heart and soul of the United 22 States Constitution. That is why the U.S. Supreme Court held the following: 23

“Thus, Congress having power to regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian tribes, may, without doubt, provide for granting coasting licenses , licenses to pilots, licenses to trade with the Indians, and any other licenses necessary or proper for the exercise of that great and extensive power; and the same observation is applicable to every other power of Congress, to the exercise of which the granting of licenses may be incident. All such licenses confer authority, and give rights to the licensee. But very different considerations apply to the internal commerce or domestic trade of the States . Over this commerce and trade Congress has no power of regulation nor any direct control . This power belongs exclusively to the States. No interference by Congress with the business of citizens transacted within a State is warranted by the Constitution, except such as is strictly incidental to the exercise of powers clearly granted to the legislature . The power to authorize [e.g. LICENSE as part of a franchise] a business within a State is plainly repugnant to the exclusive power of the State over the same subject. It is true that the power of Congress to tax is a very extensive power. It is given in the Constitution, with only one exception and only two qualifications. Congress cannot tax exports, and it must impose direct taxes by the rule of apportionment, and indirect taxes by the rule of uniformity. Thus limited, and thus only, it reaches every subject, and may be exercised at discretion. But, it reaches only existing subjects. Congress cannot authorize [e.g. LICENSE] a

Notice the language “ Congress cannot authorize [e.g. LICENSE] a trade or business within a State in order to tax it. ” . 41 All licensed activities are, in fact, franchises and excise taxes are what implement them and pay for them. The income tax 42 itself, in fact, is such a franchise. See the following for exhaustive proof: 43

On the subject of whether Christians can be party to or consent to what the courts call "the social compact" and contract, 44 God Himself says the following: 45

“ You shall make no covenant [contract or franchise] with them [foreigners, pagans], nor with their [pagan government] gods [laws or judges]. They shall not dwell in your land [and you shall not dwell in theirs by becoming a “resident” or domiciliary in the process of contracting with them], lest they make you sin against Me [God]. For if you serve their [government] gods [under contract or agreement or franchise], it will surely
