Alexander Hamilton Quote

"But as the plan of the convention aims only at a partial union or consolidation, the State governments would clearly retain all the rights of sovereignty which they before had, and which were not, by that act, EXCLUSIVELY delegated to the United States."

Each State, as an independent extension of sovereign individuals, in the form of a representative (of individual sovereign rights) republic may at any time it chooses, select those States that it will associate with. "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 governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government," (Declaration of Independence)  -- Mike, Norwalk      5

" Retain All the Rights of Sovereignty " that would also hold true for the "Individual Sovereign". Now we see President Trump trying to delegate authority back to the States, Of course democrat and republican socialist on the dole within the parties have a problem with dismantling such gross overreach of centralized government. A Representative Republic at natural law [ Is ] that Form which Good is. Plato's epistemology can be seen and understood.  -- Ronw13, Oregon      4
Will the American sovereign citizens of the American sovereign states take their stand in the years to come? Rather than NAFTA and CAFTA, all that the North, Central, and South American states need to do is return to true sovereign status. Canadian, US, and Mexican governments are confederations of sovereign states -- something Quebec has been defending since Canada's founding. Once beholden to a central bank, sovereign states/countries lose their sovereignty -- it's called totalitarianism. I see the world citizens waking up, something has got to give. The US cannot carry the burden of Liberty for the world -- look to other nations for the Liberty movement to come to fruition.  -- E Archer, NYC      4
Mike, good to see you are alive and well. If the US wants reform, then ban ALL money in Politics and make it a crime to bribe government officials, with heavy prison sentences.  The shutdown of the Epstein files and the Trump wars are the real reason why he was made president. The people have the right to recluse Trump from his presidency.  Take care and be safe....  -- Robert Edwards, Sarasota
The closer the cohesiveness we acquire in our territorial arrangements the closer cohesiveness we retain in our psychological, social, and moral arrangements.    -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown      1
Robert, good to see you again.  -- Mike,, Norwalk
El Salvador, Argentina, and the African Union are all making tremendous strides in cutting the ties to the banking cartel ruling the world.  We need more of this!!  -- E Archer, NYC      1
Hey, Robert, great to see you back!  Heck, lets start with banning Federal Reserve Notes!  Why hack at the branches when we should be cutting the root!  A return to sound money (requiring sound money management...) is the true solution.  A tall order indeed, but when the interest to pay on the issuance of US currency is greater than any federal program, is it not clear who the real masters are?  This was the actual cause of the American Revolution — issuing colonial script rather than being forced to use British script.  When issued interest-free in proportion to that needed for trade and commerce, fiat currency works very well, as long as a commodity-backed currency is also allowed to circulate with a non-fixed exchange value with the fiat script.  Cash and credit can work together as long as sellers have the option of accepting one or the other as terms for trade.  -- E Archer, NYC      1
