Requirement for Consent

For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up

in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law .

"With all [our] blessings, what more is necessary to make us a happy and a prosperous people? Still one thing more, fellow citizens-- a wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is

"The makers of our Constitution undertook to secure conditions favorable to the pursuit of happiness. They recognized the significance of man's spiritual nature, of his feelings and of his intellect. They knew that only a part of the pain, pleasure and satisfactions of life are to be found in material things. They sought to protect Americans in their beliefs, their thoughts, their emotions and their sensations. They conferred, as against the Government, the right to be let alone - the most comprehensive of rights and the right most valued by

civilized men. "

If there is not injury party, then all of the above types of civil franchises have no “force of law” against a non-consenting 24 party and any legal proceeding to enforce them constitutes an INJUSTICE rather than JUSTICE. 25

PAULSEN, ETHICS (Thilly's translation), chap. 9.

26

“Justice, as a moral habit, is that tendency of the will and mode of conduct which refrains from disturbing the lives and interests of others, and, as far as possible, hinders such interference on the part of others. This virtue springs from the individual's respect for his fellows as ends in themselves and as his co equals. The different spheres of interests may be roughly classified as follows: body and life; the family, or the extended individual life; property, or the totality of the instruments of action; honor, or the ideal existence; and finally freedom, or the possibility of fashioning one's life as an end in itself. The law defends these different spheres, thus giving rise to a corresponding number of spheres of rights, each being protected by a prohibition. . . . To violate the rights, to interfere with the interests of others, is injustice. All injustice is ultimately directed against the life of the neighbor; it is an open avowal that the latter is not an end in itself, having the same value as the individual's own life. The general formula of the duty of justice may therefore be stated as follows: Do no wrong yourself, and permit no wrong to be done, so far as lies in your power; or, expressed positively: Respect and

protect the right.”

Some questions you can ask to reveal the false presumptions protecting that enforcement and the illegality of that 40 enforcement of the above types of “rules” include the following: 41

"At this point it behooves us to consider the myth of the “social contract”. Many apologists for the status quo assert that we are all born as parties to a contract – and that, as a consequence, we are all subject to liabilities defined by the state or [national] government. In other words, in return for the various benefits, real or imagined, that we receive from the government, we owe the government a portion of whatever resources we derive from our experience of life. We should note that the only people who promote this myth are those who want to spend our money or to exercise power over us through the enforcement of edicts forbidding mala prohibita. They would have us believe that they have a valid claim on the money that we receive in exchange

for our creativity and productivity.”

Those enforcing the social contract or statutory franchise “benefits” are therefore demanded to answer the following questions on the record to justify and validate the alleged “force of law” they claim to have be

50

51

exercising:

52

1. Isn’t it a violation of due process of law to PRESUME that I consented? Aren’t all presumptions that

53

prejudice constitutional rights UNCONSTITUTIONAL and a violation of due process of law?

54

2. When and how did I sign or consent to this so-called contract?
