Requirement for Consent

form that consent takes so that they receive reasonable notice of the rights they are surrendering by engaging in PRIVATE 1 business activity with a government that has made a BUSINESS out of effectively STEALING from you under the color 2 but without the actual authority of law. This is the biggest travesty of justice in our time. Through this constructive fraud, 3 they have effectively criminalized private property, personal responsibility and exclusively enjoying your own life, liberty, 4 and property, thus making slaves out of us all. The Civil War did not end slavery by any means. It has simply taken a 5 slightly altered and more “stealthy” form. Some things never change, do they? Of this FRAUD and abuse of law to 6 deceive and enslave people, Lysander Spooner said: 7

"What, then, is legislation?

8

It is an assumption by one man, or body of men, of absolute, irresponsible dominion over all other men whom

9

they can subject to their power.

10

It is an assumption by one man, or body of men, of a right to subject all other men to their will and their

11

service.

12

It is an assumption by one man, or body of men, of a right to abolish outright all the natural rights, all the natural liberty of all other men; to make all other men their slaves; to arbitrarily dictate to all other men what they may, and may not do; what they may, and may not, have; what they may, and may not, be.

13

14

15

It is, in short, the assumption of a right to banish the principle of human rights, the principle of justice itself,

16

from off the earth, and set up their own personal will, pleasure, and interest in its place.

17

All this, and nothing less, is involved in the very idea that there can be any such thing as legislation that is

18

obligatory upon those upon whom it is imposed."

10.4 Invisible consent: The weapon of tyrants

22

There are many situations in which we create at least the APPEARANCE of consenting and may not even realize it. Here 23 are some legal definitions and maxims that demonstrate this process of invisible consent: 24

“SUB SILENTIO. Under silence; without any notice being taken. Passing a thing sub silentio may be evidence

25

of consent”

26

[ Black’s Law Dictionary, Fourth Edition, p. 1593]

27 28

“Qui tacet consentire videtur.

29

He who is silent appears to consent. Jenk. Cent. 32.”

30

It is very important for us to understand how the process of procuring your consent works so that it can be reversed and 33 used in your defense against tyrants in government who want to abuse their delegated authority to STEAL from you. 34

We established throughout this document that only consent in some form can produce a “law” within a Republican 35 government populated by Sovereigns. This is also confirmed by the following maxim of law: 36

Consensus facit legem.

37

Consent makes the law. A contract [INCLUDING a “social compact”] is a law between the parties, which can

38

acquire force only by consent. [Bouvier’s Maxims of Law, 1856;

Where The People are Sovereign, the only way you can lose rights is to give them away by exercising your right to 42 contract. The type of consent manifested determines the type of “law” that is produced by the act of consenting. Collective 43 consent produces “public law”. Individual consent produces “private law” or “special law”. Section 9.10.1 earlier showed 44 that within the realm of private law, the consent that produces the individual contractual obligation can be manifested or 45 implied in several ways: 46
