Dear Justice Scalia and the U.S. Supreme Court,
When you claim that the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution establish no legal precedence, do you make the claim that it is unthoughtful? Below are examples of Aristotilian formal logic which establish the self evident truths and inalienable rights as a greater power than the corrupt power of tyranny (the necessary evil of legal precedents).
Major Premise: Government divides itself into civil and legal matters
Minor Premise: Legal precedents have no purpose outside of the exploitation of the people through the establishment of power rightfully or wrongfully as laws, rules, regulations . . .
Conclusion: Therefore, the only purpose is civil or *Civil Purpose.
*The founding fathers defined tyranny extensively in both the Declaration of Independence and in the U.S. Constitution. One of the dialectical truth engines used by them to do so was Plato's "Theory of the Forms" which was a thought process used to create "Best Principled Statements." These Best Principled Statements were expressed in both American documents as greater thoughts made distinctive and seperate through the use of lessor informal transitions. While the formal thoughts were capitalized, the informal transitions were not.
Examples of this are expressed below:
Preamble of the Declaration of Independence:
(We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their) [Creator] (with certain inalienable) [Rights], (that among these are) [Life], [Liberty] (and the pursuit of) [Happiness].
(Informal transitions)
[Formal best principled statements]
Preamble of the U.S. Constitution:
(We the) [People] (of the United States), in [Order] (to form a more perfect) [Union], (establish) [Justice], (insure domestic) [Tranquility], (provide for the common defence, promote the general) [Welfare], (and secure the) [Blessings of Liberty] (to ourselves and our) [Posterity], (do ordain and establish this) [Constitution] (for the United States of America).
(Informal tranisitions)
[Formal best principled statements]
Major Premise: The power of the self evident truths and inalienable rights is greater than the corrupt power of tyranny. (The truth will set you free)
Minor Premise: The corrupt power of tyranny expresses itself in legal precedents.
Conclusion: The greater power of the self evident truths and inalienable rights is expressed as a Civil Purpose.
Defining the corrupt power of tyranny by juxtaposing it with the greater power of the undeniable, self evident truths and the inalienble rights that are written on the conscience of every American soul is how We the People control the government. We don't control the corrupt power of tyranny through the use of a greater corrupt power of tyranny.
Major Premise: Government expresses itself as power.
Minor Premise: The claim to power is established rightfully or wrongfully (by law makers and lawyers) as legal precedence.
Conclusion: A greater power exists other than legal precedence.
Why would one proclaim legal precedence unless there exists a greater power?
Major Premise: Government expresses itself only through the corrupt power of tyranny.
Minor Premise: No power is allowed greater than legal precedence.
Conclusion. No claim of legal precedence need be established. (by law makers and lawyers)
In lessor tyrannies outside of the boundaries of the United States, the only power expressed is through the corrupt power of legal precedence. Therefore, because no Civil Purpose exists in such inferior places, there exists no reason for such places to proclaim legal precedence over the people.
Major Premise: The greater power is concrete.
Minor Premise: The lessor corrupt power of tyranny is dynamic and changing while it is part of the greater concrete power.
Conclusion: The lessor corrupt power of tyranny is needed as a necessary evil to pass legal measures to dispense the Civil Purpose to the people as the greater concrete power.
This was the burden of our founding fathers. We can see this burden when we sit together at the national dinner table. Because of the divorce decree of the Declaration of Independence and the marriage decree of the U.S. Constitution, the mediating people have been established as the greatest power. As the greater power of the people (commoners) have been granted the power to regulate liberty by binding the master (the king) to remain at the same table as the uncomely slave (the untouchble) has been granted liberty to come to it. So, when the uncomely untouchable thirsts at the national dinner table, we divorce the tyrant and establish a new king.
Finally, in regards to thoughtfulness, notice how the tyrant is expressed in the dialectic commonly known as the "Socratic Teaching Method"?
Socrates: What is a tyrant? What is tyranny?
Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness of his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
The Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution define tyranny extensively by juxtaposing its lessor corrupt power to that of the greater power of the self evident truths and inalienable rights which are written on the conscience of every human soul. This greater power establishes the Civil Purpose of the people over the lessor corrupt powers of the legal precedence of tyranny.
The incredible thoughtfulness in the formal documents of the United States has empowered the people. This mediating power of the people is being threatened today by legal counterfeit being created by the corrupt power of tyranny. The debt of the people in the sixteenth ammendement takes precedence over the legal counterfeit of tyranny whether it be foreign or domestic. Therefore, the people and their posteriety should not be held responsible to pay the legal counterfeit of any tyranny.
