A BRIEF HISTORY OF LIBERTY AND FREEDOM

THE HISTORY OF LIBERTY

MAGNA CHARTA--1215 A.D.
King John of England was forced at swordpoint by his own Barons to
sign the great charter which foreshadowed our present liberties.
Prior to this climactic showdown at Runnymede, Englishmen were sub
jected to arbitrary seizures and imprisonment by their rulers and agents.
The Magna Charta greatly limited the power of the rulers, and among other
things, provided that a citizen could not be dispossessed or imprisoned except
according to the law by "judgment of his peers".
The PETITION OF RIGHT (1628) curtailed the rulers' taxing powers and
reinforced other rights.
The ENGLISH BILL OF RIGHTS (1689) was still another milestone in free
doms history~ All of these were fore-runners to the American BILL OF
RIGHTS (The first 10 amendments to the Constitution).
THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION
Adopted in 1787, set up a "limited" republican form of government
with a balance and separation of powers clearly defined:
I. LEGISLATIVE
II. EXECUTIVE
III. JUDICIAL
IV. STATES RIGHTS
V. AMENDMENTS
VI. DEBT, LAW OF LAND, OATHES ETC.
VII. RATIFICATION
"""""""""""
BILL OF RIGHTS
I. RELIGION, SPEECH, PRESS, GRIEVANCES
II. MILITIA AND RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS
III. QUARTERING OF TROOPS
IV. PRIVACY
V. INDICTMENT,DOUBLE JEOPARDY, SELF_WITNESS, DUE PROCESS
VI. SPEEDY TRIAL
VII. JURY TRIAL
VIII, BAIL, FINE, IMPRISONMENT
IX. RIGHTS RETAINED BY THE PEOPLE
X. POWERS RESERVED TO THE STATES OR THE PEOPLE

Today, instead of a "separation of powers" of the three branches of

the Constitutional government we are seeing an increasing cooperation and
collusion, which is serving to trash and distort and begin to take on the
policies and r am s f Lc a t i o n s of just another form of "dictatorship".
When ..... the government(judicial branch) is allowed to dictate the
"standards of a trial" ... it dictates the results of the trial even though
jury may be present. The judge, by means of determining what evidence may
.' presented along with various other rulings then becomes no less than a
Soviet style dictator!!!
Judge: You can't see all the evidence, or facts, and I'LL tell you
what the LAW is all about!
Jury: Why does he need US? Where's our rubber stamp?
THE JURY IS EVEN INTENDED TO JUDGE THE LAW!!!
The U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights was designed to hold the
.Jlovernment "in check". If the American people continue to ignore and remain
lnorant of the Constitution, evil men will ~ thwart these built-in checks
dnd laws and policies will be put in place leaving the people once again in
the mercy of dictatorial type government.
How many people know that a jury has the power to 'aquit" even if
contrary to the law! THE PEOPLE HAVE THE FINAL SAY!!!
You won't be told this by any judge, and because the judges know you
know practically nothing regarding the Constitution or how our judicial
system is truly set up to operate, they practically run the store as they see
fit.
The judges should be telling the juries that it is their right-indeed
their duty-- to be judging laws pertaining to court trials as well as the
guilt or innocence of who ever is on trial.
1. The jury must decide the "meaning" of intent of the law.
2. The jury must be deciding the "justness" of the law.
3. The jury must be deciding the "application" of the law to the
trial in case.
Many judges have seen fit to be the judge of those on trial, IT IS THE
JURY WHO HAS THE DUTY AND OBLIGATION OF JUDGING THE GUILT OR INNOCENCE
OF THOSE ON -TRIAL. THE JUDGE IS PRESENT TO EN SURE AN ORDERLY COURT AND
TRIAL PROCEDURE WHEN THE JURY IS PRESENT. IF A PERSON WAIVERS HIS RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY THEN THE JUDGE MUST JUDGE THAT PERSONS GUILT OR INNOCENCE
~ASED SOLELY ON THE JUDGES KNOWLEDGE OF THE EVIDENCE AND FACTS AVAILABLE
lD ACCORDING TO THE LAWS AND PROCEDURES PROVIDED.
TYRANNY WILL TREMBLE BEFORE AN ACTIVE AND INFORMED CITIZENRY!!1
Faith without works is dead!
Responsible citizenship begins with us.

You cannot be a passive patriot, nor can you compromise truth and
justice and hope to remain free.
You as a citizen and juror are the real judge, judging law and fact
in the light of the U.S. Constitution the intent of the lawmaker, and your
moral conscience, to the end that "justice and justness" be served for all
of us. THE PEOPLE IN THIS WAY WERE GIVEN THE ABILITY AND RIGHT OF NULLIFYING
ANY UNCONSTITUTIONAL OR UNJUST LAW, TREATING IT AS IF IT NEVER EXISTED!!!
The American people must now wake up to the real threat imposed on
not only the freedoms and future of their children, but very soon now, even
those of themselves!!!!!!
