Requirement for Consent

Whatever happened to "... governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the 1 governed...”? 2

As some of you may already know, none of the protections set forth in the U.S. Constitution has any application 3 whatsoever upon the enforcement and carrying out of "Administrative Law." So we shout with outrage at the government, 4 "You're violating my Constitutional rights," and you ask, "What gives? Is Administrative Law superior to, and above, the 5 Constitution of the United States, which is the supreme Law of this Land?" 6 I am now going to pull the veil off the mystery of "Administrative Law," and let you in on a secret that no government 7 wants you to know. Some of you are going to laugh at the simplicity of the matter, once I tell you. "Administrative Law" is 8 not some esoteric law passed by some legislative body. "Administrative Law" simply means "Contract Agreement." But if 9 government called it what it really was, everyone would know what is going on. But by the government calling it 10 "Administrative Law," few understand it, and think, "Oh my goodness, I don't want to go to jail because I violated 11 Administrative Law." What you must implicitly remember is that Administrative Law and Police Powers are diametrically 12 opposed to each other. They cannot co-exist in the same context. Like oil and water, they can never mix. But governments 13 do not want you to know that. If there were any form of police power exerted to enforce "Administrative Law," it would 14 clearly fly in the face of the Constitution. So all governments exercise fraud when they take "Administrative Law" beyond 15 "the consent of the governed," Declaration of Independence. 16 Every time you hear the term "Administrative Law," you must correctly think "Contract Agreement." If everyone thought 17 that way, people would automatically ask themselves the logical question: "Where's the contract?". But government does 18 not want you to think in terms of "Contracts," nor the fact that there can ever be police powers involved in the enforcement 19 of a contract. If you fail to show up for work, can your boss call up the police and send them out to arrest you? No! This is 20 true even if your boss happens to be the city, or the chief of police. Police powers are limited only to criminal acts, never 21 contract disputes. These are totally separate and exclusive jurisdictions. 22

The U.S. Constitution specifically forbids all fifty states of this country from passing any law that interferes with any 23 individual's right of contract, or, if the person so chooses, the right not to contract. 24

"No state shall...make any...law impairing the obligation of contracts."

25

[Constitution, Article 1, Section 10, Clause 1]

26

The right to contract necessarily establishes the right not to contract. Just like the First Amendment to Congress: 27

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;"

28

[First Amendment]

29

so also in Article 1, Section 10, it says that no state shall make any law that impairs the free exercise of the right to contract 30 or not to contract. Now how does this Constitutional prohibition to states apply to such state administrative agencies as the 31 "State Contractor's License Board?" Ah, yes, and note, we are not here even challenging this as an Administrative Law, but 32 rather the very authority of the State itself to even "make" such an administrative agency that presumes to govern the right 33 to contract. In other words, the Legislature was acting unconstitutionally when they even considered "making" such a law, 34 whether the law passed by a majority vote or not. In other words, it was null and void the very moment it was "passed." 35 One could just imagine the untold hundreds of billions of dollars that would invigorate the entire economy of this country if 36 states could not interfere with, or tax our constitutional right to contract, or not to contract, with whosoever we pleased. 37 Contracts are very much a necessary part of all of our lives, and we all understand the meaning of agreements and keeping 38 our word. Contracts always must contain a consideration, and are made voluntarily for the mutual benefit of each of the 39 parties entering them. 40 I am going to explain the legitimate uses of contracts, and then proceed to what they have been transmuted into by the 41 State. In a legitimate contract, for instance, and I speak to those married, remember the days when you went out on dates 42 with that special person that made your heart throb? You fell in love and the two of you decided, for the mutual benefit of 43 both of you, to get married. You voluntarily appeared before a minister who asked you the question, "Do you, Sharon, take 44 Steven to be your lawfully wedded husband?" In which you replied, "I do!" You were under no obligation to agree. 45 Remember, wherever one may say "Yes" or "I do" they equally have the right to say, "No," or "I don't," to wit, "Do you, 46 Steven, take Sharon to be your lawfully wedded wife?" which could equally be responded to with, "No, I do not!"
