1st level:
Assemblies are a government created by ‘We the People’. The BILL OF RIGHTS protects the unalienable rights of the people. The United States Constitution of 1789 is the rule book for the government to follow and a guide for the people to keep our government in check. The People being governed must grant permission to be governed. This is a basic constitutional concept that has been severely overlooked.
2nd level:
Militia: Within this level there are the REGULATED MILITIA and the UNREGULATED MILITIA. The regulated militia consist of younger (18-45) able-bodied men and women, who are fully trained and supplied with defense equipment. Our federal government took over this aspect of militias and is basically the National Guard now. Unregulated militias are appointed and run by Assemblies. Once an Assembly is well established, it creates a sub-committee of its own militia, which may consist of all the assembly members, if they so choose. The unregulated militia acts out their 2nd amendment ‘Rights to Bear Arms’ and protects their community of people.
3rd level:
Common Law Grand Jury: The third level of government is the ‘Common Law Grand Jury’ granted to us by the 7th Amendment. It is separate from the judicial branch of the government. Grand Juries are defined in the Assembly’s Covenant. Grand Juries consist of 25 members who are appointed by a grand jury foreman, who is elected by the assembly. The foreman of a grand jury serves for three years. In the first year he is an apprentice, the second year, a foreman, and in the third year, he/she serves as a teacher to the new apprentice.
4th level:
The fourth level is the Legislative Branch, which consists of a bi-cameral congress, a Senate and House of Representatives. These branches of government are defined in Article One of the Constitution and has several duties, which includes making laws. This structure is designed to provide checks and balances within the legislative process, with each chamber having different powers, responsibilities, and methods of representation.
5th level:
The fifth level of the government is the President of the United States of America. This role consists of one individual, as defined in Article Two of the Constitution, who appoints a executive branch cabinet to serve under him and details the President’s powers related to appointments, treaties, and law enforcement.
6th level:
The sixth level of government is the Judicial Branch, with the Supreme Court at the top. The Judicial branch is defined in Article Three of the Constitution and it outlines the structure, jurisdiction, and key powers of the federal court system, including the appointment of judges.

What is the Difference between De Jure and De Facto?
De Jure means “by law.” It refers to something that is legally recognized, even if it doesn’t exist in practice. For example, freedom of speech. The First Amendment guarantees it de jure, but in some environments—like workplaces, schools, or even online platforms—people may feel they can’t speak freely without facing consequences. De Facto means “in fact” or “in practice.” It describes what actually happens, regardless of what the law says. Example, Sanctuary city; is not a legal term or definition.

How does one Set Up an Assembly in one’s County?
Start by forming a group of three to five men or women. Adopt a County Covenant to proclaim power over one’s own self-governance. Adopt by autographs the Declaration of Sovereign Intent of 2010 and notice the inhabitants of said county of their freedom from the county corporation.

What is Self-Governance and What’s it Look Like?
Self-governance is the ability of a person(s), group(s), or community(s) to make and enforce decisions independently, without external control. It’s rooted in the idea of autonomy—whether that’s an individual managing their own behavior, a community running its own affairs, or a nation determining its own political path.
When our country gained independence it governed itself without being ruled by another nation. The Declaration of Independence is a classic example of asserting national self-governance. At its core, self-governance is about freedom paired with responsibility. It’s not just the absence of control—it’s the presence of thoughtful, accountable decision-making.

Who are ‘We the People’?
‘We the People’ refers to the peoples of the United States — the collective body of individuals who give the Constitution its authority and legitimacy. It’s the opening phrase of the U.S. Constitution’s Preamble, and it carries deep symbolic and legal meaning.
When the Founders wrote ‘We the People’, they were making a bold statement: that government derives its power from the people, not from a king, a monarch, or a distant elite. This idea is known as ‘Popular Sovereignty’ — the principle that the people are the ultimate source of governmental power

What is the Law of the Land?
The ‘Law of the Land’ refers to the complete body of valid laws that are in effect within a country or jurisdiction at a given time. It includes all statutes, regulations, court decisions, and constitutional provisions that govern how society functions and how rights and responsibilities are defined.
In the U.S., the phrase famously used is the ‘Supremacy Clause’ of the Constitution, which declares that the Constitution itself, along with federal laws and treaties made under its authority, shall be the “Supreme Law of the Land.” This means that no state law or local ordinance can override federal law when there’s a conflict.
The term has deep historical roots, too — it appears in the Magna Carta of 1215, where it was used to assert that no one could be punished or deprived of rights except by lawful judgment or the ‘Law of the Land’. That idea evolved into what we now call due process, ensuring fair treatment throughout the legal system.

How does an Assembly Operate?
In a true republic, the purpose of an assembly is to serve as the voice of the people, translating public will into law through a structured, representative process. It’s the beating heart of republican governance—where power doesn’t rest in a monarch or elite, but in elected representatives who are accountable to the citizens. In essence, the assembly is the engine room — it’s where the will of ‘We the People’ gets translated into action.
Purpose of an Assembly:
Representation:
The assembly ensures that diverse communities and interests are reflected in governance.
Law-Making:
It drafts, debates, and enacts laws that shape the nation’s policies and protect rights.
Oversight:
It checks the power of the executive and judiciary, ensuring no branch becomes dominant.
Deliberation:
It provides a forum for reasoned debate, compromise, and public discourse.
Safeguarding Liberty:
By operating under a constitution, it helps prevent tyranny—whether by a ruler or a majority.
How It Would Operate:
Elections:
Citizens elect representatives at regular intervals. These elections are free, fair, and open to all eligible voters.
Sessions:
The assembly meets in scheduled sessions to introduce and debate legislation.
Committees:
Smaller groups within the assembly study specific issues in depth—like education, defense, or health.
Debate & Voting:
Proposed laws are debated publicly, amended if needed, and then voted on.
Checks & Balances:
In bicameral systems, both chambers must agree on legislation. The executive may have veto power, which the assembly can override.
Transparency:
Proceedings are open to the public, and records are published to ensure accountability.
In short, a true Assembly is not just a law factory — it’s a Guardian of Liberty and a mirror of the people’s will, operating within a constitutional framework that limits power and promotes justice.

What is the role of the Postmaster General?
The role of a Postmaster General is to establish communication between the UPU (Universal Postal Union) and the country’s post office (US Post Office). Additionally, one cannot fully explain the role of the postmaster without first citing the Universal Postal Union (UPU) and the magnitude of its authority. The UPU, located in Berne, Switzerland, was founded in 1874. It was created by treaty between its member nations; only those members adhering to international admiralty law may engage in commerce and resolve disputes between said nations.
The Articles of Confederation set forth that all the original 13 states were Sovereign and Independent of one another. For this reason, the United States could not be recognized as a country and impeded the states from becoming a member of the UPU. Why is this significant? Because it barred them from trading internationally. Today, international admiralty is the private jurisdiction of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which is the creditor of 191 countries around the world. To these countries, the “Golden Rule” applies: “He who owns the gold makes the rules.” Johnny Hart. All UPU nations engage in reciprocal banking and commercial relations, making them the most prolific global contract agent in the world.
How does this apply to sovereign statesmen or stateswomen? By utilizing the power of a simple definative postage stamp, one can become the Postmaster of any contract to which the stamp, along with an autograph and thumbprint (both in purple or red ink) is affixed. Whom ever receives said contract is thensubordinate to the Postmaster as party to the UDU in accordance with international law and treaty.

What is the Difference between Legal and Lawful?
These two words often get used interchangeably, but they carry distinct shades of meaning that can matter a lot, especially in discussions about justice and governance.
Legal
Something is legal when it complies with the written laws—statutes, regulations, and codes—enacted by a governing authority. It’s about the letter of the law. If a rule is on the books and you follow it, your action is legal, even if it might seem unfair or unethical.
Lawful
Something is lawful when it aligns not only with written law but also with broader principles of justice, fairness, and morality. It reflects the spirit of the law — what the law is meant to achieve, not just what it says on paper.
So, while all lawful acts are legal, not all legal acts are necessarily lawful. One follows the rulebook; the other follows the compass of justice.

What is the Difference between Freedom and Liberty?
The words freedom and liberty are often used interchangeably, but they carry subtle differences in meaning — especially in political and philosophical contexts.
Freedom
Freedom generally refers to the absence of restraint. It’s the raw ability to act, speak, or think without interference. It’s more personal and internal — about what you can do.
Liberty
Liberty, on the other hand, is more about the structured protection of that freedom within a society. It’s freedom within a system of laws — freedom that’s recognized and safeguarded by a government or constitution.
In short: Freedom is the power to act; Liberty is the condition that allows that power to exist safely and fairly in society.

What is the Significance of something called the Post?
The Post inside of the Post Office is more than just a mail carrier — it’s a civic institution that embodies democratic values like equal access, public service, and national unity.
The Post ensures that every citizen, no matter how remote or rural their location, has access to communication, government services, and commerce. That’s foundational in a republic, where all voices are meant to count equally.
From delivering ballots to distributing government notices, the Post plays a direct role in enabling participation in self-governance. It’s a neutral, trusted channel that connects people to their government.
The Post in short isn’t just about delivering mail — it’s about delivering democracy.

What is the Difference between the Corporate PO vs. UPU?
The U.S. Post Office (officially the United States Postal Service or USPS) and the Universal Postal Union (UPU) serve very different but complementary roles in the world of mail and communication.One keeps the country connected (USPS); the other keeps the world in sync (UPU).
U.S. Post Office (USPS)
National Focus: USPS is the domestic postal service of the United States.
Independent Agency: It operates as a self-supporting government entity, delivering mail and packages across the U.S.
Services: Offers everything from first-class mail and package delivery to money orders and PO boxes.
Mission: To provide reliable, affordable mail service to every American address—urban or rural.
Universal Postal Union (UPU)
Global Focus: The UPU is a United Nations agency that coordinates international mail delivery among 192 member countries, and is the highest law in trust and equity.
Founded in 1874: It’s one of the oldest international organizations and is headquartered in Bern, Switzerland.
Role: Sets global standards for mail exchange—like postage rates, addressing formats, and customs rules—to ensure smooth cross-border delivery.
Membership: The USPS is a member of the UPU, which allows it to send and receive mail internationally under agreed-upon rules.

What is Signified by the Different Colors of Ink and Stamps?
By using a stamp properly on documents with your autograph, you invoke the power of the postal service. The postal office and its postmaster general are the most powerful entity on Earth. They are in charge of international trade and stand way above the court system.
The highest Purple denotes fiduciary (trust law/air juris).
Next is Red signifies a living man or woman on the land.
And last is contracts and corporate documents are signed in blue (water juris- i.e. admiralty law).
‘Wet ink by your hand is stronger than anything no matter the color. And even stronger than that is your spoken word’. ‘Via parole.’
‘Your intention is ultimately everything’.
Amount of stamps: The 7th amendment states: ‘In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law’.

What is meant by the term Nation-State in our documents?
People use the term ‘nation-state’ in documents — especially legal, political, and academic ones — because it captures a very specific concept: a sovereign state whose peoples are united by shared elements like language, culture, ethnicity, or history.
Saying ‘nation-state’ distinguishes it from just a ‘state’ (which is a political entity) or a ‘nation’ (which is more about shared identity). A nation-state blends both: a political structure and a cultural identity.
So when people use ‘nation-state’ in documents, they’re often signaling a particular model of governance — one where political boundaries are meant to align with cultural or ethnic ones.
