There are many organizations claiming to “restore” The United States of America ‘Republic’ with some common law provenance; or justification to alter; or abolish government altogether; However, few are asking questions more fundamental than government, i.e. what restores “a people”?
Intro
This article will overview grand juries, common law assemblies, institutional government, and how ‘a people’ referee;
United States v Williams 112 S.Ct. 1735 (1992) Justice Scalia writes:
"[R]ooted in long centuries of Anglo-American history," the grand jury is mentioned in the Bill of Rights, but not in the body of the Constitution. It has not been textually assigned, therefore, to any of the branches described in the first three Articles. It" 'is a constitutional fixture in its own right.'" In fact the whole theory of its function is that it belongs to no branch of the institutional Government, serving as a kind of buffer or referee between the Government and the people.
When a Supreme Court Justice defines the grand jury a constitutional fixture belonging to no branch of the institutional government, take notice. The US Supreme Court recognizes a “constitutional referee“ between Government and ‘the people’; Most lawyers will tell you common law is what the courts have decided (stare decisis); now you have a legal precedent.
British Common Law, recognized its citizen/subjects’ responsibility to the State/Crown, as well as to the international brotherhood of [Man]/[Adam/People/Mankind(Gen5:2)] (the people). Restoring a nation’s foundation requires context, especially when a Supreme Court case refers to institutional government, ‘the people’, and grand juries.
Prior to the American Revolution, colonials assembled Committees of Safety, convened grand juries, and were successful in peacefully jailing Officers of the Crown. The American Republic’s founders operated in these Committees, encoded them in the Bill of Rights, and confederated them in 1777 as “The United States of America” in an internationally recognized perpetual union.
“We, the People” of the US Constitution began prior to 1787.
Governeur Morris.. whom.. was entrusted the re-writing of the constitution.. changed these words, “We, the people of the states,” etc., as adopted by the convention, to “We, the people of the united states,”.. declared.. “the constitution was a compact, not between individuals, but between political societies,.. each enjoying SOVEREIGN power, and, of course, equal rights.
The form of a people may be defined in bi-lateral common law compact; and with American common law, being founded by ‘the people of the states’, the goal of reconstituting a national republic under a 1787 constitutional government may be an impossibility for any single “people”.
An Appeal to Heaven
Mat 13:35 KJV
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
The Law of Nations posits the primary duty of the State is to protect its people in order they achieve ‘happiness’ of a perfected soul; and then may engage in commerce, only insofar as commerce did not detract from its primary goal.
The current corporate structure of government is proof the current "State" has all but abdicated this primary responsibility to its people, going so far as to change the form of its people to mere business (person) entities held to statute and code, and placed un-a-lien-able rights under the thumb of a fee for license and tax structure.
Any mechanisms of protection may be gained are through the Creator by which all un-a-lien-able rights are derived. Additionally, any rights one exercises must be in-line with the Laws of Nature & Nature's God that has written them; Meaning one cannot claim a "right" counter to Nature and/or Nature's God.
Unlike other schools of thought teaching an individual as ‘absolute Sovereign’, ‘the people’ (such as in BCBSC Compact) are defined in their natural identity, as endowed by the Creator before the foundation of the world; meaning the individual is endowed to participate within the Sovereignty of the Creator, therefore NOT endowing any single individual with the illusion of being "The Sovereign".
Jhn 17:24 KVJ
Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
Ecclesiastic foundations are necessarily distinct from any other, such as Sharia, in that rest (Heb 4:3) of certainty Christ gives to those He has chosen to be holy and without blame before him in love (Eph 1:4) Know: the pursuit of Happiness for a perfected soul can only come by or through Christ’s Creator nature; an appeal to heaven cannot be without honorable recognition to the Son. Especially, if “we the body” are to properly function on earth, in perichoresis with the three witnesses of heaven, as “a people”.
Additional context can also be given to ‘Blessings of Liberty’ being changed to meaning the freedom to do whatever you desire, from the blessings of the fruit of the Holy Spirit who is ‘Liberty’ (2Cor 3:17). Believe in Her Son and reap the blessings of their presence.
With these foundations set, "the people" defined, may move in accordance with Nature’s God toward pursuing the happiness of perfected souls, emerge to form a Common Law Grand Jury, send affidavits to legislature, initiate Notices of Liability, increase public awareness, or any other measure "the people" decide to take expedient to peaceful remedy.
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. ~Declaration of Independence 1776
Common Law Compact
THE TEXT OF THE MAYFLOWER COMPACT:
In the name of God, Amen. We whose names are underwritten, the loyal subjects of our dread Sovereign Lord King James, by the Grace of God… etc.
Having undertaken for the Glory of God and advancement of the Christian Faith and…in the presence of God and one of another, Covenant and Combine ourselves together in a Civil Body Politic, for our better ordering and preservation and furtherance of the ends aforesaid; and by virtue hereof to enact, constitute and frame such just and equal Laws, Ordinances, Acts, Constitutions and Offices from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the general good of the Colony, unto which we promise all due submission and obedience…
Assembling, expressed as/in a Civil Body Politic, are ‘a people’, by God’s Grace, Covenanted and Combined in ‘the people of the [Mayflower] compact’.
To be a referee between people and government, the form of “the people” must be expressed, in order to serve as a hedge against any presumption made against any single individual member. The Social Compact is seen as the singular indispensable manner by which such expressions may gain legal recognition, if need be.
This obligation, so natural to each individual of God’s creation, is not derived to nations immediately from nature, but from the agreement by which civil society is formed: it is therefore not absolute, but conditional, - that is to say, it supposes a human act, to wit, the social compact. ~Law of Nations 1758, Emmerich de Vattel
As distinguished from equity law, ‘common law’ is a body of rules and principles, written or unwritten, which are of fixed and immutable authority, and which must be applied to controversies rigorously and in their entirety, and cannot be modified to suit the peculiarities of a specific case, or colored by any judicial discretion, and which may rest confessedly upon custom or statute, as distinguished from any claim to ethical superiority.
Maryland Constitution, Declaration of Rights
Article 1. That all Government of right originates from the People, is founded in compact only, and instituted solely for the good of the whole; and they have, at all times, the inalienable right to alter, reform or abolish their Form of Government in such manner as they may deem expedient.
Whereas Adam has been interpreted as ‘male’, ‘they were Adam’ in Gen 5:2 implies a plural mankind [ish/male & isha/female]; much as Elohim is singular with a plural tense, [el+], where spirit(ruah), water(mayim), and light are pre-eternal. Compacts are representative expressions, pluralistic by nature, i.e. of the same kind.
This delineation has been primarily forgotten, as the ecclesiastical foundations of American society have slowly degraded into a cacophany of corporate entities, masquerading as government over lesser franchised persons in the form of its people as businesses. Corporatism over divine expressions of providence bearing the blessings of liberty and exercising authority in the name above all names.
Any Compact making sovereign claims outside the above mentioned authority will end up void, regardless if all authority may be derived by any other human or institutional recognition.
Whereas "a people in compact" reason ‘signatories’ exist, the ‘bi-Lateral Social Compact’ recognizes each signatory as being included in/as "the people"; and others as "inhabitant"; peaceably expressing w/o force or need of any other expression.

People’s Consent, or Persons of War?
28 The Charming Betsy, 6 U.S. 64, 118 (1804) (Marshall, C.J.) (“It has also been observed that an act of Congress ought never to be construed to violate the law of nations if any other possible construction remains, and consequently can never be construed to violate neutral rights or to affect neutral commerce further than is warranted by the law of nations as understood in this country. These principles are believed to be correct, and they ought to be kept in view in construing the act now under consideration.”)
Congress, representative of ‘a population’, cannot violate the law of nations; as the law of nations proscribes ‘a people’ necessary in forming nations, and the duty of all government offices being to help the individual achieve the happiness of a perfected soul.
Compact signatories are expressed as "the people in compact"; However, there is also a tacit "people" of custom within a county, not party to the compact, i.e. US Citizen persons, etc;
‘A people’ are the foundation government authority rests upon, in a trust indenture; a person is an agent given authority or recognition within institutional government jurisdiction.
Maritime ‘Person’(a)s’ cannot usurp a lawful civil authority upon which ‘a people’ exist. Any statue, so enacted, can only be done on behalf of a/the living/life. Habeas denotes a legal process upon a lawful being; until/unless adjudicated differently… Persons [de]note a contract value..
A people, not otherwise defined, become subject to presumptions of custom. If the presumption of custom is to treat all of ‘a people’ as individual persons, then what recourse does an individual have other than announcing themselves as being defined within ‘a people’ or ‘body politic’, or some other similar word to describe the natural grantors for a governmental trust indenture; such as within law of nations?
198 LIEBER CODE art. 27 (“The law of war can no more wholly dispense with retaliation than can the law of nations, of which it is a branch. Yet civilized nations acknowledge retaliation as the sternest feature of war. A reckless enemy often leaves to his opponent no other means of securing himself against the repetition of barbarous outrage.
Assemble
Being ‘a people’ requires maintaining association; whether by private membership, or through public filing. However any group may choose to peacefully organize; proving operational consistency by taking minutes, electing officers, and publishing content; publicly interfacing “as a body” requires commitment.
Committees of Safety (CoS), operating on behalf of ‘the people’, must at a minimum have an email to correspond. Each CoS being established, may then resolve to create a common law grand jury to referee between institutional government and ‘the people’.
NGO’s have profited the most from designating a cause, or class, justifying the basis for their ‘refereeing’. If this same energy were redirected toward local and state governments by grassroot CoS whom all associate in reciprocal acknowledgement of existence by social compact, institutional government will bend.
Exercising the right to assemble, as endowed by the Creator, serves as the basis for multiple-simultaneous focuses. Meaning ‘causes’, or classes, may be addressed in tandem or separately from one another. How each committee assembles or operates are determined by the rules of each assembly, as well as recommended by any public social compact.
Also keep in mind concepts of protest, petition, lawful assembly, etc. may be presented in a media vernacular or narrative, separate from the reality of those choosing to peacefully assemble, or investigate, possible harms and trespasses by institutional government or agents thereof. Making the distinction between institutional government and their agents is key, because if any action were to be taken on a private entity then civil jurisdiction may be applied in an institutional court for statutory indemnity, remedy, or relief.
Either way, the assembly, or ‘Committee’, is the smallest unit capable of representing ‘a people’. From a practical standpoint, one example would be Buncombe County Committee of Safety/Asheville Assembly - https://ashevilleassembly.net/ - They have also organized a “Committee of Safety Starter Guide” telegram channel complete with template documents - https://t.me/+T2TjQGA067tjNWMx
With a people’s foundation firmly established, remedy from institutional government may then be framed in a beneficiary to trust indenture relationship, where institutional government’s duty to do no harm nor trespass may be lawfully applied.
Post-Liminium
The right of postliminium is that, in virtue of which, persons and things taken by the enemy are restored to their former state, now coming again into the power of the nation to which they belonged.
If ‘restoration of the republic’ were a goal for any national organization claiming sovereignty over “The United States of America”, its sole purpose must be the dissolution of its own powers to the ‘people of the states’ in order to repopulate the original republic of the states.
Recently, SGAnon’s official statement summarizing "Re-inhabited:", attested “Republic for the United States of America” (RUSA) is Corporately connecting private interests with the Republic, declaring executive appointments absent advice and consent of the Senate, has no Senate majority quorum, & operated unconstitutionally by RUSA’s own reasoning.
Organizations claiming a family seal grants them divinely recognized sovereign authority over “The United States of America” or “The Government” therein has missed the point that federal authority were only meant to be organized in the event of invasion, emergency within the states, or foreign interaction; i.e. AVR…
Individual ‘status correction’ does NOT make one ‘sovereign’; it only makes one competent in commerce, which does nothing to bring one closer to the happiness of a perfected soul. Commercial competence being valuable in its application is one thing, but complete absolution from institutional government also forfeits any trust indenture claim; and the requirement to organize at the state level remains.
These critiques are meant to help delineate the basis of claims others are making and focus on the sovereign being presented, that may be lawfully actionable. Independent assemblies, choosing to associate under Compact with the Creator as Sovereign is the best basis to seek any right of postliminium.
Whereas many will focus on the individual commercial applications of the law, which are extremely valuable in the current corporatist, Clearfield Doctrine era, it is important to remember the primary duty of any State, and perhaps ask the question, “What happens when a people recognize itself as within ‘The Kingdom of Creator’”?
The sovereign is bound to protect the persons and property of his subjects, and to defend them against the enemy. When, therefore, a subject, or any part of his property, has fallen into the enemy’s possession, should any fortunate event bring them again into the sovereign’s power, it is undoubtedly his duty to restore them to their former condition,— to re-establish the persons in all their rights and obligations, to give back the effects to the owners,—in a word, to replace every thing on the same footing on which it stood previous to the enemy’s capture.
~Many Blessings
