ARE THERE “TWO NATIONAL GOVERNMENTS?”

(Oct. 4, 2015) — We will meet again on Saturday, 17 October at Shiloh’s Restaurant in Cortez, Colorado at 10:00 AM to renew our studies of our Constitution, Bill of Rights and founding era.
We will first look at what those who called themselves Federalists wrote, spoke and promoted as to what the Constitution of 1787 was, as opposed to what those who were called Anti-federalists predicted the government created by that same constitution would become.
Then we will take a closer look at the Preamble to the Constitution. One of the things we will discuss is the difference between “We the people of the United States” in the beginning of the document and “for the people of the United States of America” at the conclusion. Did those who wrote our Constitution delineate a difference in the United States and the United States of America?
We do know the United States is in fact a corporation as is defined in 28 USC 3002 15 (A).
Then we will examine closely the most interesting parts of a 1901 US Supreme Court ruling which contains the following:
“The idea prevails with some–indeed, it has found expression at the bar—that we have in this country substantially or practically two national governments; one to be maintained [in a limited sense] under the Constitution, with all its restrictions [on government power]; the other to be maintained [in the federal zone] by Congress outside and independently of…[the Constitution] by exercising such [despotic] powers as other nations of the earth are accustomed to exercise.”
Does our Congress actually work for two nations; one, the corporation known as the United States, and another, the supposed Union of Sovereign States of America?
Words do have meanings. Think of the difference in whether you are the man of the house or a man in the house.
Suggested reading material is the following; although not directly on this subject, it is extremely relevant to our country today.
We are set for an interesting class—-hope to see you there.
In Rightful Liberty
