Constitution 2000 for
The Republic of Georgia

Declaration of Intent

I. We hold that God's Law is the Supreme Law of the Land, above and beyond any mere constitution or act of man, and that from these Supreme Laws come our God-given Rights.

II. We hold that crimes are against God and the victim, not against any form of government. We hold that victims should be compensated, in court where possible, or under court order, in accordance with the scriptures and judgment of a Common Law Jury. We hold that this compensation shall come from the party or parties found guilty as punishment for their crime. We hold that government shall not profit from acts of crime. All references to a Jury in this constitution refer to a Common Law Jury of twelve jurors selected randomly from the men and women citizens of the respective county in Georgia.

III. We hold that the people of Georgia are free to create a new government in accordance with the precedents set by the following authorities:

1. The fundamental principles of Free Government cannot be too well understood, nor too often recurred to.

2. God has ordained that men shall live under government; but as the forms and administration of civil government are in human, and therefore, fallible hands, they may be altered, or modified whenever the safety or happiness of the governed requires it. No government should be changed for light or transient causes; nor unless upon reasonable assurance that a better will be established.

3. Protection to person and property is the duty of Government; and a Government which knowingly and persistently denies, or withholds from the governed such protection, when within its power, releases from the obligation of obedience.

17. Legislative Acts in violation of the fundamental law are void; and the Judiciary shall so declare them.

27. The enumeration of rights herein contained shall not be construed to deny to the people any inherent rights which they have hitherto enjoyed."

---

IV. We hold that the foundation of this nation is that an individual's body, life, labor, ideas, thoughts, and material possessions that the individual has created or acquired without coercion are that individual's property and that no individual, majority, society, or government may legitimately take or control an individual's property without that individual's consent. We hold that the word 'individual' in this constitution means every man, woman, child, or fetus.

V. We hold that the foundation of our economy shall be the free market system unfettered by intrusions of government and based upon the free and voluntary exchange of goods and services.

VI. We hold that peaceful relations with other nations is based upon the concept of mutual respect and that war and other interference in the affairs of other nations serves only to destroy such peaceful relations. It is therefore declared that Georgia shall remain neutral in the affairs of, and between, other nations.

Preamble

We, the people of Georgia, in order to form a lasting government, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, acknowledging and invoking the guidance of Almighty God, the Author of all good government, do ordain and establish this constitution for the Republic of Georgia:

Article 1. Declaration of God-given Rights

Section 1. In order that the general, great, and essential principles of God-given Rights associated with Life, Liberty, Property and a true Republic may be recognised and established we declare that this declaration of Rights is a part of this Constitution and of our Contract, and shall never be violated under any pretense whatsoever. In order to guard against the transgression of the powers we have delegated to government, we declare that every Right defined in this Declaration of Rights is reserved to the people. Rights not enumerated, including God-given Rights not yet expressed or conceived, exist to the extent that no Right as such may impose an obligation on any individual except to respect that Right in others. All such non-enumerated Rights are reserved to the people. All powers not specifically delegated to Government are reserved to the people. The specification of these Rights in a certain order is not intended to prioritize the Rights or to indicate a hierarchy of Rights, but is provided for convenience.

Section 2. Each individual has the inherent God-given Right to life and of life from physical conception to natural death.

Section 3. Each individual has the inherent Right of liberty, which is the unrestrained exercise of free will and the freedom to act without prior permission, which shall never be infringed provided the exercise thereof does not violate the Rights of any other individual. Liberty consists of the freedom to do everything which injures no one else; hence the exercise of the natural Rights of each man has no limits except those which assure to the other members of the society the enjoyment of the same Rights.

Section 4. Each individual's body, life, labor, ideas, thoughts, and possessions that the individual has Lawfully created or acquired are that individual's property. Each individual has the inherent Right of the ownership, non-coercive acquisition, and use of property. Since property is an inviolable and sacred Right, no one shall be deprived thereof except where public necessity shall clearly demand it, and then only on condition that the owner shall have consented and been compensated under contract entered freely, knowingly, and competently.

Section 5. Each individual has the inherent Right of defending the life, liberty, or property of any individual using whatever force is necessary, through whatever means available, including the use of deadly force.

Section 6. Each individual has the inherent Right of owning, using, and carrying arms of any description that are capable of killing less than 100 people at one time with one instantaneous initiation of that weapon. Any weapon more effective than that is not permitted to be in the possession of any individual under this constitution, including individuals operating in a governmental capacity, so that the life, liberty and property of all individuals within the territorial jurisdiction of this constitution and other jurisdictions may be realistically and effectively protected. Items capable of killing more than 100 people at one time with one instantaneous initiation of the item must not be designed for use as weaponry.

Section 7. Law must be the same for all, whether it protects or punishes. All individuals, when they form this social compact such as a constitution, have equal Rights, and are equally eligible to all dignities and to contract for any public positions or occupations, according to their abilities, and without distinction except that of their virtues and talents.

The social compact of marriage or any act which produces a human fetus, through sexual intercourse or otherwise, is recognized to be the Lawful union of a man and a woman into a family unit which becomes one Lawful entity. This Lawful union of a man and a woman into a family unit is a compact that is superior to any mere constitution for the foundation of this natural union is built firmly upon God's Law. As such there can only be one recognized head of this Lawful entity. Unless the woman is declared to be the head of the family unit on the marriage agreement confirmation paper, the man is recognized as the head of the family under the authority of the Common Law of the Creator.

The father gives birth to his child when the mother conceives. In the case of separation or divorce of various members of a natural family, the natural father is the prime physical custodian and guardian of the children unless there is a marriage agreement confirmation paper that declares the mother to be the head of this natural family, in which case the mother becomes the prime physical custodian and guardian of the children. Children born out of wedlock are naturally recognized to have their natural father to be their Lawful prime physical custodian and guardian and are recognized by Law to carry their natural father's last name signifying the child's jurisdiction to be under his or her father's umbrella unless and until such time as the father gives written and signed approval of his child's name change in the presence of two witnesses over the age of eighteen.

Lawful prime physical custodians and guardians of children shall honor the natural bonds, ties and relationships that a child should have with both parents and make all attempts to be reasonable and allow the other parent to have equal access and secondary physical custody of the child for one-half of the time of the child's life as a minor under the age of 18 years of age unless a Common Law Jury has ruled what the restrictions to access and physical custody of the child actually are upon a guilty verdict declared by the same Common Law Jury. A natural parent being denied equal access and physical custody of a child for one-half of the time of the child's life as a minor under the age of 18 years of age shall having standing to enforce their Rights to their child by trial by Common Law Jury.

Section 8. Any individual whatsoever, of any background, religious faith, creed, ethnic or national origin, gender, or age may enter into any Lawful contract provided they do so willingly, knowingly, and competently. When the competency of any party to a contract is questioned by any other party to the contract, or by the guardians, heirs, or assigns of the party in question, a Jury of twelve will decide competency based solely on whether, in the judgement of a simple majority of jurors, the party in question is competent to understand and faithfully execute the terms of the contract as written.

Section 9. All political power is inherent in God, the Father, Creator of the Universe, and all true Republics are founded on God's Authority, the Author of all true Law, and instituted for the people's benefit and exist by the will of God and the people to support the will of God; and although each individual has at all times the unalienable Right to alter, reform, or abolish his form of government in any manner they believe proper, at any time, the individual has no authority to attempt to change the true Laws of God, the Creator, hereby referred to as the Common Law of God found in the Christian Holy Scriptures. The standard reference for the Common Law of God for this Constitution shall be found in the King James Version with reference to 'The New Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible', Copyright 1984 by Thomas Nelson Publishers, ISBN 0-8407-5360-8, for indepth meaning and intent. The interpretation of the meaning and intent of the Common Law of God found in the Scriptures and the degree of application of the Law to the facts of each case is left up to local people at the county level through their powers on the people's Common Law Jury.

Section 10. All individuals have a natural and indefeasible Right to worship God according to the dictates of their own consciences; no individual shall be compelled to attend, erect, or support any place of worship, or to maintain any ministry against his consent; no human authority ought, in any case whatever, to control or interfere with the Rights of conscience in matters of religion; no preference shall ever be given by Law to any religious or philosophical societies or mode of worship, however it is the proper role of government to prevent infiltration by those who are of foreign loyalties due to the fact that they have taken extra-judicial oaths and would they would destroy proper and Lawful government by being subservient and bound to those extra-judicial oaths; it shall be the duty of the Government to protect every religious denomination in the peaceable enjoyment of their own mode of public worship, if any; nothing in this Right and its associated obligations is intended to limit the Right to proselytize, teach one's own faith, or express intolerance of evil.

Section 11. The free communication of ideas and opinions is one of the most precious of the Rights of man. Every individual may, accordingly, speak, write, print and communicate by other media with freedom, but shall be responsible for such abuses of this freedom as shall actually cause harm, as determined by a Jury, and only to the extent of the harm actually caused. The government shall never curtail or license or limit or regulate or in any manner infringe the liberty of speech or of the press, nor of any form of communication by any medium whatsoever.

Section 12. In all suits whatsoever, where the value in controversy shall exceed one troy ounce of silver, the Right of trial by Jury shall be preserved.

Section 13. No fact tried by a Jury shall be otherwise reexamined in any court except to appeal a conviction.

Section 14. No individual shall be accused, arrested, or imprisoned except in the cases and according to the forms prescribed by this constitution. As all individuals are held to be innocent of all accusations until they shall have been declared guilty by a Common Law Jury of twelve, if arrest shall be deemed indispensable, all harshness not essential to the securing of the prisoner's person shall be severely repressed. No individual shall be held for indictment by a people's grand Jury to answer for any criminal charge without a confirmation of an accusation by an accuser. No individual shall be held for trial without first being held for and receiving an indictment by a people's grand Jury. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the Republic of Georgia, or any place subject to its jurisdiction.

Section 15. In all cases where an accused shall be tried by Jury, the Jury shall have the Right to determine the Law, the facts and the penalty in every particular whatsoever as they pertain to the accused by applying the following applications of Law in the following order:

First: There must be a victim who has been caused hardship or damage. Crimes that are solely against God, are left for God to deal with.

Second: The Supreme Law of the Land known as the Common Law of God is to be found in the Christian Holy Scriptures and applied to the facts of the case, tempered by the wisdom and observations of the Jury, and

Third: This Constitution, being the supreme Law in Georgia under the Supreme Law of the Land known as the Common Law of God, must be adhered to, and

Fourth: The terms, conditions and responsibilities of any Lawful contract, properly agreed to by the parties, must be applied.

Fifth: All other forms of law that are foreign to the Common Law of God, such as maritime, admiralty, statutory, commercial, or equity and others not named herein, are hereby abolished.

Section 16. In all criminal prosecutions, the accused must be afforded a speedy public trial, by an impartial Jury of twelve of his peers in the county wherein the crime shall have been committed, unless the accused consent to another county; the accused shall have the Right to demand the nature and cause of the accusation; the accused shall not be compelled to give evidence against himself; the accused shall have the Right of being heard by himself or counsel, or both; shall be confronted with the witnesses against him who may not testify anonymously, and shall have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor; shall have access to evidence relating to the accusation and adequate time to prepare a defense; any individual may serve as counsel for any accused individual according to the choice of the accused and the consent of the individual chosen as counsel. Government may not impose qualifications or license requirements on counsel nor otherwise limit the Right to counsel.

Section 17. All prisoners shall be bailable by sufficient sureties, unless for accusation of criminal acts resulting in the death of any individual, when the proof is evident or the presumption great; this provision shall not be so construed as to prohibit bail after the indictment is found to be returnable on a writ of habeas corpus, as provided in the Constitution below; excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel or unusual punishment unknown to the Common Law of God inflicted; all Government courts shall be open, and every person, for an injury done him in his lands, goods, person, or reputation, shall have remedy by due process of Law; no person, for the same offense, shall be twice put in jeopardy of life, limb, liberty, or property, nor shall a person be again put upon trial for the same offense after a verdict of not guilty; and the Right of trial by Jury shall remain inviolate. No individual shall be deprived of life, liberty, property, or privileges, outlawed, exiled, or in any manner disfranchised by government, except by due course of Law.

Section 18. The sure and certain defense of a free people is a well regulated defense force; and it shall be the duty of the government to organize the people that volunteer their services into the organized defense force. Treason against this Republic shall consist only in levying war against it, or adhering to enemy belligerents, or giving them aid and support. No soldier shall be quartered in any house, without the consent of the owner, expressed in written contract for which consideration is paid by the government. The security of the Rights of Georgians requires public military forces. These forces are, therefore, established for the good of all and not for the personal advantage of those to whom they shall be intrusted.

Section 19. No title of nobility, hereditary privileges or honors, shall ever be granted or conferred by government.

Section 20. Each individual has a Right to decide, personally, as to the necessity of any consideration paid; to pay consideration freely upon entering into any contract or upon agreeing to its annual renewal. Citizens of the Republic of Georgia have a Right to know to what uses all monies paid to government are put.

Section 21. Each individual has the Right of privacy, to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and possessions from all unreasonable seizures or searches; and no warrant to search any place, or to seize any person or thing, shall issue, without describing them in particular as near as may be, nor without probable cause supported by confirmation in writing;

Section 22. The writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended;

No bill of attainder, ex post facto Law, retroactive Law, or any Law impairing the obligation of Lawful contracts shall be made.

Section 23. No person shall ever be imprisoned for debt, taxes, alimony, or 'child support' as child support has become known today as the giving of money to one's ex-mate.

Section 24. The military shall at all times be subordinate to the civil authority.

Section 25. Inheritance taxes, perpetuities and monopolies are contrary to the genius of a true Republic, and shall never be established by Government. When an individual dies without a will or trust giving instructions for the inheritance of his property, a Common Law Jury of twelve will decide the outcome with the Common Law of primogeniture found in the Christian Holy Scriptures as their guide. The Jury shall rule according to the Common Law of primogeniture but may deviate for good cause or reason. The Jury must disclose their good causes and reasons in open court for distributing the property the way they have decided. This provision shall not in any way limit the establishment of perpetuities, monopolies, primogeniture, or entailments by private contract among individuals.

Section 26. All individuals have the Right, in a peaceable manner, to assemble together for their common good, and to apply to those invested with the power of government for redress of grievances, or other purposes, by petition, address, or remonstrance.

Section 27. No power of suspending the Constitution by action of the Government exists.

Section 28. All Rights are retained by each individual and shall never be denied, infringed, or violated in any way except, in the circumstances of conviction of a crime, a tort, or a breach of contract, by due process of Law as defined in this constitution, and then only as directed in the particular case.

Section 29. This constitution can only prohibit such actions that are strictly internal to it. No one may be forced to do anything other than stand trial when accused of a crime or tort by a grand Jury unless provided for by contract, freely, knowingly, and competently entered, for which consideration has been paid.

Article 2. Powers Denied to Government

Section 1. Government has no inherent rights or powers, neither implicit nor explicit. This constitution assigns certain functions to the artificial entities called governments created by this constitution and authorizes those artificial entities to take certain actions necessary to accomplish the assigned functions. No national or county government entity or official shall assume any function or authorization not specifically assigned or authorized by this constitution.

Section 2. Government shall never infringe the rights of individuals nor modify any governmental processes, duties, responsibilities, or form of government as specified in this constitution.

Section 3. Government shall never operate outside the limits of a budget which shall never exceed ninety percent of the revenue collected the previous year.

Example:

Yr.\Georgia	Budget	Revenue
1999		0
2000	0	86,000
2001	77,400	120,000
2002	108,000	94,000
2003	84,600	5,700,000
2004	5,130,000
TOTAL	5,400,000	6,000,000

The example given shows that the total accumulated budgets will always equal 90% of total accumulated revenue. This means that the government will always have an average of a 10% surplus, will always be in the black and never in the red. Any monies not spent as budgeted must be counted as revenue for the following year.

Section 4. Government shall never grant monopolies or perpetuities nor in any way restrict or control the free flow of trade within or across the geographical boundaries of Georgia.

Section 5. Government shall never restrict individuals from assembling to train with arms for the individual or collective defense of life, liberty, or property.

Section 6. Government shall never restrict nor control the manufacture, sale, purchase, ownership, use, storage, transportation, or carrying of any arms, parts, accessories, or ammunition.

Section 7. Government shall never issue charters, licenses, certificates of competency, nor any form of recognition or registration for any organization or individual.

Section 8. Government shall never of its own accord, without a Jury verdict pertaining to the instant case, promote, control, nor interfere with any religious or philosophical organization or activity, except in the interiors of government buildings not designated for such use.

Section 9. Government shall never of its own accord, without a Jury verdict pertaining to the instant case, restrict nor control the free flow of ideas using any present or future form or medium of expression.

Section 10. Government shall never invade the privacy of any individual without probable cause, a proper and duly authorized warrant, and other protections of due process of Law unless the officer is in hot pursuit or the officer is a witness to an actual Common Law crime committed in his presence.

Section 11. Government shall never operate, own, control, nor fund any means of education not specifically related to performing the functions of government authorized by this constitution.

Section 12. Government shall never infringe the right of the free movement of individuals within or across the geographical boundaries of Georgia without probable cause, a proper and duly authorized warrant, and other protections of due process of Law unless the officer is in hot pursuit or the officer is a witness to an actual Common Law crime committed in his presence.

Section 13. Government shall never pledge the assets of individuals or non-governmental organizations nor borrow money unless loaned voluntarily by a willing creditor to the government at zero interest.

Section 14. Government shall never offer nor provide gifts, subsidies, or assistance of any kind to any individual, group of individuals, organization, or nation other than that provided for in this constitution.

Section 15. Government shall never accept gifts, subsidies, or assistance of any kind from any foreign government, organization, or nation other than that provided for in this constitution.

Section 16. Government shall never issue currency nor cause currency to be issued. This does not prevent government from paying in currency.

Section 17. No organization established, controlled, employed, or enabled by government shall violate any part of this constitution.

Section 18. Government shall never own title to any real property which is not specifically authorized by this constitution.

Section 19. Government shall never of its own accord, without a Jury verdict pertaining to the instant case, restrict individuals from freely associating or assembling, except in the interiors of government buildings not designated for such use.

Section 20. Government shall never extend payment, credit, gifts, subsidies, endowments, retirement benefits, nor anything else of value or worth to any individual beyond the time of actual service to the government in whatever capacity.

Section 21. Government shall never impose taxation of any kind.

Section 22. Government shall never regulate the use of publicly owned rights of way.

Section 23. Government shall never impose emergency powers nor suspend any part of this constitution, neither in time of war nor for any other reason.

Article 3. The Law

Section 1. A crime is any action taken by an individual wherein the individual intentionally initiates physical force, fraud, or theft which results in damage to another individual or damage or loss of another individual's life, liberty, or property without the consent of that individual; or an action taken by a government official in violation of this constitution.

Section 2. A tort is defined herein as 'a private or civil wrong or injury arising out of a civil duty independent of contract.' The elements of a tort claim are: (1) a duty owed by the defendant to the plaintiff; (2) a breach of that duty; (3) injury to the plaintiff; and (4) whether the defendant's conduct was the proximate cause of that injury. To recover in tort all the elements of a tort claim must be proved. There must be proof of both liability and damages. Liability depends on duty, breach and proximate cause.

Section 3. Remedies for breach of contract may be for damages or for specific performance or both.

Section 4. No body of Law other than the Law defined in this constitution has any force or effect on anyone on or under the soil of Georgia, on or in the waters of Georgia, or in the airspace of Georgia unless all parties to an action have previously knowingly, voluntarily, and intentionally agreed to that body of Law by contract.

Section 5. The obligations of contracts shall not be impaired provided only that all parties to the contract entered the contract knowingly, willingly, and voluntarily.

Section 6. Except in the case of a crime in progress, no individual shall be detained, imprisoned, nor held against his or her will in any manner, unless a Lawfully executed warrant supported by confirmation of an accusation by an accuser specifying the charges has been issued in accordance with this constitution. Any detained individual will be informed of the reason for detention in writing within six hours of being detained.

(2) the grand Jury has in its possession at the time a confirmation by an accuser that named specific evidence of a crime is located at the place to be searched or that the person to be seized is accused of a crime. Any property seized must be evidence of the crime described in the warrant.
