First Flaw
an excerpt from Try, Try Again, in the February 2019 issue of the Frontiersman.
The U.S. constitution is a contract to which all of the rules of contracts apply.

no copy or other inferior evidence will be received. —from EVIDENCE Bouvier's Law Dictionary, 1889 |
Most formal references to the U.S. constitution are to The Constitution of the United States of America. The original document doesn't have that title. It doesn't have any title at all. It begins immediately at what we call the Preamble. Even the Preamble isn't labeled as such. The Preamble refers to the document simply as "this Constitution for the United States of America". Grammatically, that doesn't exclude the possibility of other such constitutions. It simply refers to "this" constitution, which might admit the possible existence of other constitutions besides "this" one.
| The intention of the parties is the pole-star of construction; but their intention must be found expressed in the contract and be consistent with rules of law. The court will not make a new contract for the parties, nor will words be forced from their real signification. —from CONTRACT Bouvier's Law Dictionary, 1889 |
The intended title isn't found in writing and, therefore, the original intentions of the writers are mere speculation. The only way that a specific title could have been added later is by amendment. Unless such an amendment can be discovered, any copy of the document that bears the title The Constitution of the United States of America is a falsification. I suggest that any legal document, process, procedure, and so forth that relies for its validity on a reference to The Constitution of the United States of America is null and void from its inception, and of no legal effect. That would invalidate most of the American political landscape....

| ^ | In Search of the Supreme Flaw of the Land: The Bill of Rights
This essay was first completed on Monday, December 9, 1991. This essay examines the U.S. Bill of Rights on two levels. On the surface, it's an examination of language, construction, and effect. On that level, it challenges much of the myth and misinformation generally associated with the U.S. Bill of Rights. More fundamentally, the essay offers a beginning into the arcane art of understanding government and recognizing it for what it really is. Such understanding eventually suggests the necessity of an alternative. 42 Pages
