Walter Goodman Quote

The de jure States united's originating jurisprudence was to be: "the laws of nature and of nature's God" (Declaration of Independence) — a limited form of natural law. A line through the defining tapestry(s) of natural law (science, math, relationships, etc.) by all philosophers on the subject of natural law describe a regularity of action sufficiently similar as to determine a rule.

The term "God" in the Declaration of independence was understood to be an extra human intelligent design by the founders. By way of legal application, the term "god" is simply a reference to that which is outside the control of corporeal man (by example for insurance purposes, damage by tornado is an act of god). Above, Logan's expressions are spot on. At natural law, man can not make or create laws. Law already exist so corporeal man can only create codes, ordinances, regulations, rules, statutes, etc. to define the law that already exists for justice and administrative purposes ONLY. The natural law (regularity of nature's God — again, science, math, relationships, etc.) intended by the founders was each individual was sovereign with inalienable rights and liberty at natural law.

A “right” is: tangible matter’s eternally omnipresent warrant; A right is an enabling conveyance of nature’s inherent rectitude; A right is the congenital prerogative to act without restriction at/in each and every, any and all way(s) harmonious at, of or with organic justice - just locutions (non-infringement of/on another’s rights); peculiar to each and every specific person, identified by law, equity, life, liberty, property and happiness. Right(s) more closely associate with the domain of justice than law.

Liberty is: “The power of acting as one thinks fit, without any restraint or control, except from the laws of nature.” (Bouvier’s Law Dictionary) Liberty is the “exemption from extraneous control.  The power of the will, in its moral freedom, to follow the dictates of its unrestricted choice, and to direct the external acts of the individual without restraint, coercion, or control from other persons.  Liberty is the right which nature gives to all mankind of disposing of their persons and property after the manner they judge most consistent with their happiness, on condition of their acting within the limits of the law of nature, and so as not to interfere with an equal exercise of the same rights by other men.” (Black’s Law Dictionary 1st ed.). Clarifying original fact, natural law intent, and de jure jurisprudence: “Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law,' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.” (Thomas Jefferson) “The Natural Liberty of Man is to be free from any Superior Power on Earth, and not to be under the Will or Legislative Authority of Man, but to have only the Law of Nature for his Rule.” (John Locke - second most quoted source for creation of the Constitution) “Personal liberty, or the Right to enjoyment of life and liberty, is one of the fundamental or natural Rights, which has been protected by its inclusion as a guarantee in the various constitutions, which is not derived from, or dependent on, the U.S. Constitution, which may not be submitted to a vote and may not depend on the outcome of an election. It is one of the most sacred and valuable Rights, as sacred as the Right to private property ⋯ and is regarded as inalienable.” (16 C.J.S., Constitutional Law, Sect.202, p.987). Liberty, under “the laws of nature and of nature’s God” (Declaration of Independence) – natural law, is the state of exercising all inalienable rights. “All men are created equally free and independent, and have certain inherent rights, of which they cannot, by any compact, deprive or divest their posterity; among which are the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing the obtaining of happiness and safety.” (George Mason)

Corruption is an act done with an intent to give some advantage inconsistent with official duty, liberty and the rights of others.

The guaranteed representative “republican form of government” (Article IV, Section 4 U.S. Constitution) was to be a body politic to enhance and protect individual sovereign’s inalienable rights and liberty at natural law; recognize all else to be corruption. AND, because I am a hard core believing Christian, I here set forth that the LORD'S law of inalienable rights and liberty is good. Thank you Logan for setting up an opportunity to define and explain.
