It has been over two years since I last published anything here. Have made new friends and lost some old friends, just based on my views of where we are in this struggle to regain our freedoms.
This go round I am going to post three words and there definitions as found in Blacks Law- 4th edition. Here we go!
SOVEREIGN. A person, body, or state in which
independent and supreme authority is vested; a
chief ruler with supreme power; a king or other
ruler with limited power.
In English law. A gold coin of Great Britain,
of the value of a pound sterling.
SOVEREIGN PEOPLE. The political body, consisting of the entire number of citizens and qualified electors, who, in their collective capacity, possess the powers of sovereignty and exercise them through their chosen representatives. See
Scott v. Sandford, 19 How. 404, 15 L.Ed. 691.
SOVEREIGNTY. The supreme, absolute, and un-
controllable power by which any independent
state is governed; supreme political authority;
paramount control of the constitution and frame
of government and its administration; the self-
sufficient source of political power, from which
all specific political powers are derived; the international independence of a state, combined with the right and power of regulating its internal
affairs without foreign dictation; also a political
society, or state, which is sovereign and independent. Chisholm v. Georgia, 2 Dall. 455, 1 L.Ed. 440;
Union Bank v. Hill, 3 Cold., Tenn., 325; Moore
v. Shaw, 17 Cal. 218, 79 Am.Dec. 123; State v.
Dixon, 66 Mont. 76, 213 P. 227.
The power to do everything in a state without
accountability,—to make laws, to execute and to
apply them, to impose and collect taxes and levy
contributions, to make war or peace, to form
treaties of alliance or of commerce with foreign
nations, and the like. Story, Const. § 207.
“Sovereignty” in government is that public authority
which directs or orders what is to be done by each member associated in relation to the end of the association. It is the supreme power by which any citizen is governed and
is the person or body of persons in the state to whom there
is politically no superior. The necessary existence of the
state and that right and power which necessarily follow is
“sovereignty.” By “sovereignty” in its largest sense is meant supreme, absolute, uncontrollable power, the absolute right to govern. The word which by itself comes nearest to being the definition of “sovereignty” is will or
volition as applied to political affairs. City of Bisbee v.
Cochise County, 52 Ariz. 1, 78 P.2d 982, 986
7. CONSTITUTIONAL LAW. — A state must exercise its sovereignty through the action of individuals, and it may deputize to other political organizations the duty to carry out certain functions which, though limited in their scope, are in their performance as much an exercise of sovereignty as when the corporate state itself exercises its universal sovereignty.
Government is not sovereignty. Government is the machinery or expedient for expressing the will of the sovereign power.’ Definitions of sovereignty might be almost indefinitely multiplied, but these which have been given I believe to be sufficient to give an accurate idea of its nature. This sovereign power in our government belongs to the people, and the government of the United States and the government of the several states are but the machinery for expounding or expressing the will of the sovereign power.”
Three very powerful words. Using them incorrectly can be of much detriment, using them correctly can be of much benefit. Learning and knowing how to use them correctly is the challenge. I am of the mind that there is still much to be learnt here. But, I am also of the mind that at some point, (soon), we must move forward and do our best to get it right.
It is something I have been working on for some time now. I have even reached out to a new friend with this and am hoping to hear back from them soon. It is my hope that together we can figure out the best way to move forward with this.
Wish us Luck!!!
