Citizen-Subject or Citizen-Sovereign

An amendment

was added to the

Constitution for

the United States of America

after the war between the States

defining

a citizen of the United States

to be

“all persons

born

or naturalized

in

the United States

and

subject to

the jurisdiction

thereof . . .”.

In law,

every word

is important

in understanding
the intent

of the law.

Each element

has significant meaning

and purpose.

The 14^th Amendment

is no different.

It defines

a political body:

“persons born or naturalized

in the United States

and subject to

the jurisdiction

thereof,”

and then assigns

the status of citizenship

to that political body:

“are citizens of

the United States,

and of the state

wherein they reside.”

Prior to

the 14^th Amendment

members of

the sovereign body politic

did not derive their

citizenship

from
the Constitution for

the United States of America.

Neither did they

after the adoption

of the 14^th Amendment.

Neither do they now.

A second class

of citizenship

was created and established

after

the Civil War,

by the government

who was created and established by

the American People.

Americans,

members of the

sovereign body politic

are not members

of the political body

created by

and established under

the 14^th amendment.

Citizenship under the 14^th amendment

is a membership benefit

derived from the 14^th amendment.

Citizenship

in the sovereign body politic

is a membership benefit

derived from the Creator.

Eliminate either

the Creator

or the sovereign body politic

from the equation

and America is

a conquered nation,

a mere idea

of the past.
