domicile within any municipal government in the country. You can also be a statutory "nonresident alien" in relation to the 1 national government and yet still have a civil domicile within a specific state of the Union, because your DOMICILE is 2 foreign, not your nationality. 3

Consistent with the above analysis of how one transitions from FOREIGN to DOMESTIC through CONSENT are the 4 following corroborating authorities. 5

1. The Declaration of Independence, which says that all JUST powers derive ONLY from the “consent of the governed”. 6 Anything not consensual is therefore unjust and does not therefore have the “force of law” or any civil jurisdiction 7 whatsoever against those not consenting. 8

DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, 1776

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the

The concept of “comity” in legal field:

comity . Courtesy; complaisance; respect; a willingness to grant a privilege, not as a matter of right, but out of deference and good will. Recognition that one sovereignty allows within its territory to the legislative, executive, or judicial act of another sovereignty, having due regard to rights of its own citizens. Nowell v. Nowell, Tex.Civ.App., 408 S.W.2d. 550, 553. In general, principle of "comity" is that courts of one state or jurisdiction will give effect to laws and judicial decisions of another state or jurisdiction, not as a matter of obligation, but out of deference and mutual respect.

See International Shoe Co. v. 25 Washington, 326 U.S. 310 (1945). 26 5. The Longarm Statutes within your state. Each state has statutes authorizing nonresidents and therefore foreign 27 sovereigns to waive their sovereign immunity in civil court. 28 Going along with the notion of the Separation of Powers Doctrine, U.S. Supreme Court is the concept of “sovereignty”. 29 Sovereignty is the foundation of all government in America and fundamental to understanding our American system of 30 government. Below is how President Theodore Roosevelt, one of our most beloved Presidents, describes “sovereignty”: 31

“We of this mighty western Republic have to grapple with the dangers that spring from popular self-government tried on a scale incomparably vaster than ever before in the history of mankind, and from an abounding

material prosperity greater also than anything which the world has hitherto seen.

As regards the first set of dangers, it behooves us to remember that men can never escape being governed. Either they must govern themselves or they must submit to being governed by others. If from lawlessness or fickleness, from folly or self-indulgence, they refuse to govern themselves then most assuredly in the end they will have to be governed from the outside. They can prevent the need of government from without only by showing they possess the power of government from within. A sovereign cannot make excuses for his failures; a sovereign must accept the responsibility for the exercise of power that inheres in him; and where, as is true in our Republic, the people are sovereign, then the people must show a sober understanding and a sane and steadfast purpose if they are to preserve that orderly liberty upon which as a foundation every republic must

In this section, we will cover some very important implications of sovereignty within the context of government authority 45 and jurisdiction generally. We will analyze these implications both from the standpoint of relations WITHIN a government 46 and the relationship that government has with its citizens and subjects. This is expanded upon the subject of sovereignty in 47 the context of taxes in sections 5.2.2 and 5.2.3 of the Great IRS Hoax , Form #11.302. 48

Sovereignty can exist within individuals, families, churches, cities, counties, states, nations, and even international bodies. 49 This is depicted in the “onion diagram” below, which shows the organization of personal, family, church, and civil 50
