 The Class Action Fairness Act of 200511
TITLE II—LEGAL CIVIL RIGHTS12
The following is a clarifying of legal rights belonging to all persons who13
participate in the U.S. judicial system, as consistent with the mention of14
said rights in the U.S. Constitution and its amendments, the Province of15
Pennsylvania’s 1682 Frame of Government and 1701 Charter of Privileges,16
and other founding documents such as the Virginia Statute for Religious17
Freedom and Declaration of Independence.18
Section 201. Right to Trial by Jury19
The right to trial by jury in both civil and criminal cases is absolute, per the20
6th and 7th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, Article III Section 2 of21
the U.S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and is a22
fundamental right per Article 15 of James Madison’s Memorial and23
Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments.24
Section 202. Right to a Speedy Public Trial in Criminal Cases25
(a) SPEED DEFINED.— The right to a speedy public trial in criminal26
cases is absolute per the 6th
Amendment to the U.S. Constitution27
and Articles V and VII of the Province of Pennsylvania’s 168228
Laws Agreed Upon in England. No person may be imprisoned in29
excess of 72 hours before their criminal case goes to trial, and that1
case may not take longer than one month for a decision to be2
reached unless both parties agree to an extension, which extension3
must be less than one month. All pleadings, processes, and records4
in courts should, as such, be short and plainly stated for ready5
understanding and rapid administration of justice. Beginning on the6
date of this Act’s enactment, any persons imprisoned in violation of7
this statute are to have all criminal charges that had been brought8
against them dropped. Any official, whether at the federal, state, or9
local level, who engages in imprisoning a person for a longer period10
than that specified, is to be permanently barred from holding any11
governmental positions at the federal, state, and local levels and,12
subject to the decision made by a trial by jury, given a fine of up to13
$5,000 and/or up to 5 years in prison.14
(b) PUBLIC DEFINED. —The proceedings of all courts are to be15
public. Public records are to be kept and made available online to16
the public. Televised video may be recorded, e.g. via C-Span, of all17
court proceedings, and broadcast to ensure transparency.18
Section 203. Equal Rights to Witnesses and Counsel19
Defendants shall always have the same privilege to obtain witnesses and20
counsel as Plaintiffs, consistent with the 5th
Privilege of the Province of21
Pennsylvania’s Charter of Privileges. The accused shall always enjoy the22
same opportunity to obtain witnesses and counsel as the accusers.23
However, there is no inherent obligation on the state’s part to help the24
accused obtain witnesses or counsel.25
Section 204. Right to a Fair Trial26
(a) PENALTIES FOR CORRUPTION.—Justice should not be sold or27
denied, per the 5th
Article of the Province of Pennsylvania’s 168228
Laws Agreed Upon in England, and a right to due process of law29
without which none may be deprived of life, liberty, or property is30
evinced from the 5th
Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.1
Therefore, any witnesses or prosecutors convicted of willful2
falsehood for their court testimony will be subject to the same3
penalties they had sought against those testified against, required to4
make double satisfaction to those they testified against, dismissed5
from all offices of trust, and permanently prevented from holding6
public office or testifying in court, consistent with the 12th
and 26th
7
Articles of the Province of Pennsylvania’s 1682 Laws Agreed Upon8
in England.9
(b) EQUAL TREATMENT FOR PRO SE.—There shall be no10
discriminatory treatment towards those who represent themselves in11
court, or who choose to have their friends or acquaintances12
represent them in court. No law may be instituted restricting the13
right of self-representation in court, or requiring educational14
qualifications to represent another in court, consistent with Article 615
of the Province of Pennsylvania’s 1682 Laws Agreed Upon in16
England.17
(c) NO EX POST FACTO.—Article 1, Section 9 of the U.S.18
Constitution prohibits bills of attainder or ex post facto laws that19
penalize past actions.20
Section 205. Right to Just Imprisonment21
All prisons and jails shall be free as to fees, food, and lodging, but prisons22
shall nonetheless serve as workhouses for felons, consistent with the 10th
23
Article of the Province of Pennsylvania’s 1682 Laws Agreed Upon in24
England.25
Section 206. Right to Religious Freedom26
All people have an absolute right to worship God according to the dictates27
of their own consciences, for Almighty God is the only Lord of Conscience28
per the Province of Pennsylvania’s 1682 Frame of Government, the29
Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, and Article 1 of the Memorial and1
Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments.2
(a) RESTRICTING GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION IN3
MATTERS OF RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.—Per the 1st
Amendment4
to the U.S. Constitution, the Province of Pennsylvania’s 1st
5
Privilege in the 1702 Charter of Privileges, and Articles 2 through 46
of the Memorial and Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments,7
Congress may not make laws that establish state religions or8
denominations to the detriment of others, or prohibit the free9
exercise of religion, so long as said free exercise does not harm the10
rights of others. A person whose religion dictates human sacrifice,11
for example, must be legally prevented from achieving a religious12
goal that harms another’s right to life. However, barring such forms13
blatant opposition to the civil rights of others, religious freedom14
shall be left unaffected by government.15
(b) RESTRICTING JUDICIAL JURISDICTION IN MATTERS OF16
RELIGION.—Per the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, civil17
magistrates who intrude their powers into the field of public opinion18
while restraining the profession or propagation of principles on19
supposition of their ill tendency will destroy all religious liberty20
because they, being judge of that tendency, will enforce their21
opinions on others. Per Article 5 of the Memorial and22
Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments the contradictory23
opinions of civil magistrates throughout history and the world24
disprove any notion that they can be competent judges of religious25
truth or employ religion as an engine of civil policy. As such,26
judges have no right to rule in matters of opinion relating to27
religious freedom separate from clear Constitutional dictate.28
(c) RIGHTS PROTECTED REGARDLESS OF BELIEFS.—Per the29
Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom one’s civil rights have no30
dependence on one’s religious opinions any more than opinions on1
physics or geometry. Article VI of the U.S. Constitution guarantees2
to all U.S. citizens of appropriate age a right to hold public office3
without facing religious tests as qualification.4
(d) FREEDOM FROM COMPULSION.—All have a right to autonomy5
in deciding which places of worship to attend and which ministries6
to support, consistent with the Virginia Statute for Religious7
Freedom. Government has no right to force people to attend8
religious locations or ministries that violate their religious9
convictions. A Jew, for example, cannot be required to attend a10
Christian church, and a Christian cannot be required to attend a gay11
wedding, as both cases would violate their freedom of religious12
conscience unnecessarily.13
Section 207. Right to Life14
(a) IN GENERAL.— All people have a right to live, so long as they do15
not by seeking to violate the rights of others necessitate and16
precipitate violence by which they must be stopped, consistent with17
the Declaration of Independence.18
(b) MITIGATING CIRCUMSTANCES.—The right to life is not so19
absolute that it cannot be violated to stop those engaging in20
felonious actions that harm the rights of others. For example, a21
serial killer who, in the process of attempting to kill a victim, dies22
because a police officer shoots to stop him from committing23
murder, has nobody to blame but himself. Those who through24
violence or force seek to infringe on the rights of others without just25
cause (e.g. self-defense) forfeit their own rights if necessity requires26
that they be stopped with violence, and bring their blood upon their27
own heads.28
Section 208. Right to Free Speech29
(a) IN GENERAL.— Per the 1st
Amendment to the U.S. Constitution1
Congress is not to abridge the freedom of speech and the press. As2
the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom declares, Truth will3
prevail so long as human interposition does not prevent Truth’s4
weapons of free speech and debate, for errors stop being dangerous5
when it is permitted to freely contradict them. Per Article 15 of6
James Madison’s Memorial and Remonstrance Against Religious7
Assessments, freedom of the press is a fundamental right that8
should not be restricted.9
(b) RESTRICTIONS.—There are nonetheless restrictions to speech10
when that speech is used to unjustifiably harm the rights of others.11
Per Schenk v. United States, there is no right to yell fire in a12
crowded theater when no fire exists, thereby inciting a riot and13
possible trampling deaths of innocent people.14
Section 209. Right to Peaceful Assembly and Redress of Grievances15
(a) IN GENERAL.—Per the 1st
Amendment to the U.S. Constitution,16
Congress is not to restrict the right of the people to peacefully17
assemble and petition the government for resolution of grievances.18
(b) RESTRICTIONS.—Not all locations are suitable for assembled19
protests. Protesting another’s funeral near the funeral location, for20
example, infringes on the rights of a family to mourn their loved21
ones. Forms of slander and false advertising can similarly be22
restricted and by dishonestly deceiving others harm them and their23
inalienable rights.24
Section 210. Right to Participate in Politics25
(a) IN GENERAL.—Governments, according to the Declaration of26
Independence, derive their just authority from the consent of the27
governed to the extent that governments which do not protect the28
inalienable rights of the people, given by our Creator, may be29
altered or abolished by the people. Legislative representation is a30
right formidable to tyrants only. Suffrage, the right to vote, is a1
fundamental right per Article 15 of James Madison’s Memorial and2
Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments. One’s religious3
opinions should not affect their right to run for office or vote, per4
the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom.5
(b) CONDITIONS.—There may nonetheless be age requirements6
placed on voting and running for office to ensure maturity, and7
citizenship/residency requirements for voting and running for8
office.9
Section 211. Right to Equal Opportunity at Citizenship10
The United States, per Article 9 of James Madison’s Memorial and11
Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments, was originally intended to12
serve as an asylum to the persecuted. There must be equal opportunity in13
pursuing citizenship apart from discriminations such as religious14
profession, race, and ethnicity, although severe infectious diseases are a15
valid basis for exclusion. As such, country-specific immigration quotas,16
which have been used historically with racist intent, e.g. the 1882 Chinese17
Exclusion Act, Immigration Act of 1924, and Page Act of 1875, are18
unconstitutional.19
Section 212. Right to Keep and Bear Arms20
The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed per the21
2nd
Amendment to the United States, given its necessity to the security of a22
free state. While advanced assault weapons may plausibly be restricted, the23
right of all to own basic weapons and firearms shall not be restricted.24
Section 213. Right to Physical Safety25
(a) IN GENERAL.—A right to autonomous security from unreasonable26
searches and seizures is clearly seen from the 3rd
and 4th
27
Amendments to the U.S. Constitution which prohibit quartering of28
soldiers in peacetime without the homeowner’s consent, prohibit29
quartering of soldiers in time of war without legislative basis; and30
prohibit unreasonable searches and seizures absent warrants based1
on probable cause. Per the 4th
Amendment, the people have a2
fundamental right to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and3
effects. A guarantee against domestic violence in Article IV4
similarly protects the right of the people to personal security.5
(b) MITIGATING CIRCUMSTANCES.—Clearly criminal activity6
creates a reasonable necessity for violating the security of persons7
and their houses, papers, and effects, or no criminal could ever be8
punished. Nonetheless, warrants for arrest or violation of one’s9
property or personal belongings that require entering a person’s10
property must be based upon probable cause, supported by oath or11
affirmation, and describe in specifics the location to be searched12
and items to be seized; consistent with the 4th
Amendment to the13
Constitution.14
Section 214. Right to Fair Taxation15
(a) IN GENERAL.—A right to fair legislatively-based taxation is16
evident both from the Declaration of Independence and Article 6 of17
the Province of Pennsylvania’s 1682 Laws Agreed Upon in18
England. Article 1, Section 9 of the U.S. Constitution declares that19
no money shall be drawn from the Treasury except by20
appropriations made by law. There should be no taxation without21
representation, and according to the U.S. Constitution’s Article 1,22
Section 7, all bills for raising revenue are to specifically originate in23
the House of Representatives. Taxation should not be imposed24
without the people’s consent according to the Declaration of25
Independence. Furthermore, all legislative, i.e. law-making26
authority rests with Congress according to Article 1, Section 1 of27
the Constitution, and this power includes taxation per Article 1,28
Section 8; therefore it follows that the Executive and Judicial29
branches lack such a taxation power. According to Article 6 of the30
Province of Pennsylvania’s 1682 Laws Agreed Upon in England, no1
money shall be raised or paid through taxes, customs, or2
contributions without specific legislative basis; and anyone who3
levies or collects any money contrary to this is a traitor who violates4
the people’s civil rights.5
(b) STATE APPLICATION.—Any county, district, city, or village that6
needs to raise revenue must have basis for doing so from either7
Congress or the state legislature.8
(c) INTERSTATE COMMERCE.—No taxes or duties may be laid on9
articles exported from another state unless necessary for supporting10
the state’s inspection laws per Article 1, Section 9 of the U.S.11
Constitution. According to Article IV, Section 2 of the U.S.12
Constitution the citizens of a given state are entitled to all the13
privileges and immunities they would have in a different state.14
Section 215. Right to Private Property15
(a) IN GENERAL.—A right to private property free from unreasonable16
searches and seizures or quartering of troops save in time of war as17
prescribed by Congress is evident from the 3rd
and 4th
Amendments18
to the U.S. Constitution.19
(b) SEVEN YEARS POSSESSION.—Seven years of quiet possession20
shall give an unquestionable right to land consistent with the 16th
21
Article of the Province of Pennsylvania’s 1682 Laws Agreed Upon22
in England.23
(c) ESTATE DEBT.—All lands shall be liable to pay debts per the 14th
24
Article of the Laws Agreed Upon in England, and in cases of25
felonies to make satisfaction to wronged parties of twice the value,26
per the 24th
Article of the Province of Pennsylvania’s 1682 Laws27
Agreed Upon in England.28
(d) WILLS.—All wills in writing attested to by at least two witnesses29
shall be of equal force concerning the bequeathment of property30
consistent with the 25th
Article of the Province of Pennsylvania’s1
1682 Laws Agreed Upon in England. In the case of felons such as2
traitors and murderers, one third of the estate will go to the next of3
kin to the victim, and the remainder to the next of kin to the4
criminal.5
TITLE III—RESTRUCTURING THE JUDICIARY6
PART A—THE JURY7
Section 301. Jury composition8
(a) NUMBER.— All trials shall consist of 12 jurors with the exception9
of felony criminal trials pursuing life imprisonment or the death10
penalty, which shall require 24 jurors with at least half who must11
agree per Art. VIII of the Province of Pennsylvania’s 1682 Laws12
Agreed Upon in England.13
(b) JUROR CHALLENGES.—Challenges shall always be allowed14
against jurors upon reasonable grounds, to question their honesty15
and integrity. Educational and career qualifications are irrelevant,16
but a person who has displayed a pattern of dishonesty, particularly17
in judicial proceedings, is not fit to be a juror.18
Section 302. Jury selection19
(a) LOCATION.— In a criminal case, the jury is to consist of persons20
who reside in the state and district where the crime was committed21
per the 6th
Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.22
(b) RANDOM POOL.—Jurors are to be randomly selected from a pool23
of all voting age persons in the district which have clean criminal24
backgrounds absent of felonies per Article VIII of the Province of25
Pennsylvania’s 1682 Laws Agreed Upon in England.26
(c) INSTRUCTIONS.—Congress and state legislatures may decide on27
a booklet of relevant information to uniformly provide juries to28
assist them in deciding cases. Judges and other courtroom personnel29
may not give case-specific rules of instruction to juries.30
PART B—JUDGES1
Section 303. Tenure2
Beginning two years from the date of this bill’s enactment, all Federal3
Judges will be released from federal employment unless reappointed by the4
President, restriction of judicial tenure being consistent with Article 3,5
Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution and the 17th
and 18th
Articles of the6
Province of Pennsylvania’s 1682 Frame of Government. All future Federal7
Judges will receive 8-year terms, to which they may be reappointed by the8
President.9
Section 304. Pensions10
Retired Federal Judges who have not been successfully impeached shall11
receive $60,000 annual retirement pensions as funded by the U.S. Treasury.12
Section 305. Responsibilities13
(a) KEEPING ORDER.—A judge is to keep order in the court, and14
oversee hiring of courtroom personnel for maintaining that end.15
(b) APPOINTING CLERKS, COURT REPORTERS AND16
TRANSLATORS.—A judge is to appoint clerks of court that will17
maintain records and dockets, manage court information technology18
systems, pay all moneys received into the U.S. Treasury, send19
official court notices and summonses, and provide courtroom20
support services; court reporters that will report the details of cases;21
and translators who can resolve language difficulties that arise from22
having non-English speakers testify in the courtroom.23
PART C—SUPREME COURT JUSTICES24
Section 306. Term limits25
All Supreme Court Justices henceforth are subject to 20-year terms. Those26
which have been Supreme Court Justices longer than 20 years are hereby27
ordered to retire.28
Section 307. Pensions29
30
Retired Supreme Court Justices shall receive $80,000 annual retirement1
pensions as funded by the U.S. Treasury.2
Section 308. Number3
The number of Supreme Court Justices shall be nine, consistent with4
historical precedent.5
Section 309. Jurisdiction6
(a) ORIGINAL JURISDICTION.—The Supreme Court’s original7
jurisdiction shall extend, per Article III, Section 2 of the U.S.8
Constitution, to all cases involving ambassadors or other public9
ministers and consuls and to international disputes between nations10
to which the United States is a party.11
(b) APPELLATE JURISDICTION.—The Supreme Court’s appellate12
jurisdiction shall extend, per Article III, Section 2 of the U.S.13
Constitution, to all cases in law and equity relating to the14
Constitution, laws of the United States, and treaties; to all cases15
involving navies or oceanic disputes; to disputes between two or16
more states; to disputes between citizens of different states; to17
disputes between states and its citizens; and to disputes involving18
foreign states, citizens, or subjects with such exceptions and19
regulations as Congress shall make. Such regulations and20
exceptions are declared here:21
(1) NO JUDICIAL REVIEW.—All legislative, law-22
making authority and powers are vested in the legislative23
branch according to Article I, Section 1 of the U.S.24
Constitution. The President, whose responsibility it is to25
appoint Justices of the Supreme Court, is required to take26
care that the laws of the United States are faithfully executed27
per Article III, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution. As such,28
those he appoints must likewise be expected to uphold the29
laws passed by Congress, or the President by appointing30
those who would violate them would himself be violating his1
own oath of office. Judges are explicitly commanded to2
uphold all laws passed by Congress under Article VI of the3
U.S. Constitution. That Congress has power over the4
Judiciary, to regulate it, not the Judiciary to regulate5
Congress, is further evident from the Constitution’s6
delegation of control to Congress in defining the Judiciary’s7
appellate jurisdiction (Art. III, Sec. 2), provision of a lengthy8
list of powers to Congress which are never provided to the9
Judiciary (Art. I, Sec. 8), delegation of authority to Congress10
in constituting all courts below the Supreme Court (Art. I,11
Sec. 8), allowance of the Senate to authorize the appointment12
of Supreme Court Justices (Art. II, Sec. 2), delegation of the13
power to impeach Supreme Court Justices to Congress (Art.14
I, Sections 2 and 3), and authorization of Congress to define15
trial locations of interstate crimes such as those presided over16
by the Supreme Court. (Art. III, Sec. 2) That the Supreme17
Court has overstepped its constitutional bounds in18
tyrannically opposing the democratic will of the American19
people is evident from Obergefell v. Hodges when the20
Supreme Court overturned the ballot referendum-based laws21
of 30 states that had been voted upon by the American22
people. As such, the Supreme Court’s jurisdiction is hereby23
restricted from declaring any laws passed by Congress24
unconstitutional, and only those laws passed by state25
legislatures which directly contradict by the strictest letter of26
the law that which is in the Constitution or laws passed by27
Congress may be declared unconstitutional.28
(2) NO RULING ON RELIGIOUS MATTERS.—The29
Judiciary is hereby prohibited from interpreting anything30
whatsoever regarding religious freedom separate from laws1
passed by Congress. Thomas Jefferson’s legislation the2
Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom warned that allowing3
the civil magistrate to intrude their powers into the field of4
opinion, restraining the profession or propagation of5
principles on supposition of their ill tendency, would destroy6
all religious liberty since they being judges over such7
tendency would tyrannically enforce their opinions on others.8
James Madison in Article 5 of his legislation Memorial and9
Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments rejected the10
notion that civil magistrates can be competent judges of11
religious truth or employ religion as an engine of civil policy,12
calling the first an arrogant pretension falsified by the13
contradictory opinions of rulers in all ages, and throughout14
the world, and the second an unhallowed perversion of the15
means of salvation. Allowing judges to determine the16
boundaries of religious freedom thus results in tyranny as17
they destroy the fundamental right to religious freedom to18
force their own beliefs upon others.19
PART C—COURT PROCEEDINGS20
Section 310. Oaths or affirmations21
(a) JUDICIAL OFFICERS.—All judicial officers, including judges,22
clerks of court, etc., are required by oath or affirmation to testify23
upon first entering employment that they will support the U.S.24
Constitution and take care that its laws will be faithfully executed,25
consistent with Article VI and Article II, Sections 1 and 3 of the26
U.S. Constitution.27
(b) PLAINTIFFS.—All plaintiffs must first solemnly declare in court28
that they believe in their consciences that their cause is just, per the29
6th
Article of the Province of Pennsylvania’s 1682 Laws Agreed1
Upon in England.2
(c) WITNESSES.—All witnesses called to testify are first required to3
promise they will speak the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but4
the truth concerning the matter or thing in question, per the 26th
5
Article of the Province of Pennsylvania’s 1682 Laws Agreed Upon6
in England.7
Section 311. Judgments8
(a) IN GENERAL.—The jury shall reach a decision of either guilty or9
not guilty.10
(b) PLEA BARGAINS PROHIBITED.—Plea bargains are prohibited11
as a form of coercion. Reduced sentencing for pleading guilty shall12
not be used to coerce the innocent to admit guilt, thereby waiving13
their constitutional rights to a speedy public trial by jury; if there is14
enough evidence to convict, then let them be found guilty, if not,15
then let them be found guiltless.16
(c) SENTENCING GUIDELINES.—Sentencing is to be determined17
solely by jury decision, however Congress or state legislatures may18
declare specific sentencing guidelines for certain crimes within19
which jury decisions must abide.20

     The JudiciaryAct of 18011  The Judiciary Act of 18022  The Judicial Circuits Act of 18663  The Judiciary Act of 18694  The Judiciary Act of 18915  The Judicial Code of 19116  The Judiciary Act of 19257  The Rules Enabling Act of 19348  The Federal Courts Improvement Act of 19829  The Supreme Court Case Selections Act of 198810  The Class Action Fairness Act of 200511 TITLE II—LEGAL CIVIL RIGHTS12 The following is a clarifying of legal rights belonging to all persons who13 participate in the U.S. judicial system, as consistent with the mention of14 said rights in the U.S. Constitution and its amendments, the Province of15 Pennsylvania’s 1682 Frame of Government and 1701 Charter of Privileges,16 and other founding documents such as the Virginia Statute for Religious17 Freedom and Declaration of Independence.18 Section 201. Right to Trial by Jury19 The right to trial by jury in both civil and criminal cases is absolute, per the20 6th and 7th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, Article III Section 2 of21 the U.S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and is a22 fundamental right per Article 15 of James Madison’s Memorial and23 Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments.24 Section 202. Right to a Speedy Public Trial in Criminal Cases25 (a) SPEED DEFINED.— The right to a speedy public trial in criminal26 cases is absolute per the 6th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution27 and Articles V and VII of the Province of Pennsylvania’s 168228 Laws Agreed Upon in England. No person may be imprisoned in29
  • 4.
    excess of 72hours before their criminal case goes to trial, and that1 case may not take longer than one month for a decision to be2 reached unless both parties agree to an extension, which extension3 must be less than one month. All pleadings, processes, and records4 in courts should, as such, be short and plainly stated for ready5 understanding and rapid administration of justice. Beginning on the6 date of this Act’s enactment, any persons imprisoned in violation of7 this statute are to have all criminal charges that had been brought8 against them dropped. Any official, whether at the federal, state, or9 local level, who engages in imprisoning a person for a longer period10 than that specified, is to be permanently barred from holding any11 governmental positions at the federal, state, and local levels and,12 subject to the decision made by a trial by jury, given a fine of up to13 $5,000 and/or up to 5 years in prison.14 (b) PUBLIC DEFINED. —The proceedings of all courts are to be15 public. Public records are to be kept and made available online to16 the public. Televised video may be recorded, e.g. via C-Span, of all17 court proceedings, and broadcast to ensure transparency.18 Section 203. Equal Rights to Witnesses and Counsel19 Defendants shall always have the same privilege to obtain witnesses and20 counsel as Plaintiffs, consistent with the 5th Privilege of the Province of21 Pennsylvania’s Charter of Privileges. The accused shall always enjoy the22 same opportunity to obtain witnesses and counsel as the accusers.23 However, there is no inherent obligation on the state’s part to help the24 accused obtain witnesses or counsel.25 Section 204. Right to a Fair Trial26 (a) PENALTIES FOR CORRUPTION.—Justice should not be sold or27 denied, per the 5th Article of the Province of Pennsylvania’s 168228 Laws Agreed Upon in England, and a right to due process of law29 without which none may be deprived of life, liberty, or property is30
  • 5.
    evinced from the5th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.1 Therefore, any witnesses or prosecutors convicted of willful2 falsehood for their court testimony will be subject to the same3 penalties they had sought against those testified against, required to4 make double satisfaction to those they testified against, dismissed5 from all offices of trust, and permanently prevented from holding6 public office or testifying in court, consistent with the 12th and 26th 7 Articles of the Province of Pennsylvania’s 1682 Laws Agreed Upon8 in England.9 (b) EQUAL TREATMENT FOR PRO SE.—There shall be no10 discriminatory treatment towards those who represent themselves in11 court, or who choose to have their friends or acquaintances12 represent them in court. No law may be instituted restricting the13 right of self-representation in court, or requiring educational14 qualifications to represent another in court, consistent with Article 615 of the Province of Pennsylvania’s 1682 Laws Agreed Upon in16 England.17 (c) NO EX POST FACTO.—Article 1, Section 9 of the U.S.18 Constitution prohibits bills of attainder or ex post facto laws that19 penalize past actions.20 Section 205. Right to Just Imprisonment21 All prisons and jails shall be free as to fees, food, and lodging, but prisons22 shall nonetheless serve as workhouses for felons, consistent with the 10th 23 Article of the Province of Pennsylvania’s 1682 Laws Agreed Upon in24 England.25 Section 206. Right to Religious Freedom26 All people have an absolute right to worship God according to the dictates27 of their own consciences, for Almighty God is the only Lord of Conscience28 per the Province of Pennsylvania’s 1682 Frame of Government, the29
  • 6.
    Virginia Statute forReligious Freedom, and Article 1 of the Memorial and1 Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments.2 (a) RESTRICTING GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION IN3 MATTERS OF RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.—Per the 1st Amendment4 to the U.S. Constitution, the Province of Pennsylvania’s 1st 5 Privilege in the 1702 Charter of Privileges, and Articles 2 through 46 of the Memorial and Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments,7 Congress may not make laws that establish state religions or8 denominations to the detriment of others, or prohibit the free9 exercise of religion, so long as said free exercise does not harm the10 rights of others. A person whose religion dictates human sacrifice,11 for example, must be legally prevented from achieving a religious12 goal that harms another’s right to life. However, barring such forms13 blatant opposition to the civil rights of others, religious freedom14 shall be left unaffected by government.15 (b) RESTRICTING JUDICIAL JURISDICTION IN MATTERS OF16 RELIGION.—Per the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, civil17 magistrates who intrude their powers into the field of public opinion18 while restraining the profession or propagation of principles on19 supposition of their ill tendency will destroy all religious liberty20 because they, being judge of that tendency, will enforce their21 opinions on others. Per Article 5 of the Memorial and22 Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments the contradictory23 opinions of civil magistrates throughout history and the world24 disprove any notion that they can be competent judges of religious25 truth or employ religion as an engine of civil policy. As such,26 judges have no right to rule in matters of opinion relating to27 religious freedom separate from clear Constitutional dictate.28 (c) RIGHTS PROTECTED REGARDLESS OF BELIEFS.—Per the29 Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom one’s civil rights have no30
  • 7.
    dependence on one’sreligious opinions any more than opinions on1 physics or geometry. Article VI of the U.S. Constitution guarantees2 to all U.S. citizens of appropriate age a right to hold public office3 without facing religious tests as qualification.4 (d) FREEDOM FROM COMPULSION.—All have a right to autonomy5 in deciding which places of worship to attend and which ministries6 to support, consistent with the Virginia Statute for Religious7 Freedom. Government has no right to force people to attend8 religious locations or ministries that violate their religious9 convictions. A Jew, for example, cannot be required to attend a10 Christian church, and a Christian cannot be required to attend a gay11 wedding, as both cases would violate their freedom of religious12 conscience unnecessarily.13 Section 207. Right to Life14 (a) IN GENERAL.— All people have a right to live, so long as they do15 not by seeking to violate the rights of others necessitate and16 precipitate violence by which they must be stopped, consistent with17 the Declaration of Independence.18 (b) MITIGATING CIRCUMSTANCES.—The right to life is not so19 absolute that it cannot be violated to stop those engaging in20 felonious actions that harm the rights of others. For example, a21 serial killer who, in the process of attempting to kill a victim, dies22 because a police officer shoots to stop him from committing23 murder, has nobody to blame but himself. Those who through24 violence or force seek to infringe on the rights of others without just25 cause (e.g. self-defense) forfeit their own rights if necessity requires26 that they be stopped with violence, and bring their blood upon their27 own heads.28 Section 208. Right to Free Speech29
  • 8.
    (a) IN GENERAL.—Per the 1st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution1 Congress is not to abridge the freedom of speech and the press. As2 the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom declares, Truth will3 prevail so long as human interposition does not prevent Truth’s4 weapons of free speech and debate, for errors stop being dangerous5 when it is permitted to freely contradict them. Per Article 15 of6 James Madison’s Memorial and Remonstrance Against Religious7 Assessments, freedom of the press is a fundamental right that8 should not be restricted.9 (b) RESTRICTIONS.—There are nonetheless restrictions to speech10 when that speech is used to unjustifiably harm the rights of others.11 Per Schenk v. United States, there is no right to yell fire in a12 crowded theater when no fire exists, thereby inciting a riot and13 possible trampling deaths of innocent people.14 Section 209. Right to Peaceful Assembly and Redress of Grievances15 (a) IN GENERAL.—Per the 1st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution,16 Congress is not to restrict the right of the people to peacefully17 assemble and petition the government for resolution of grievances.18 (b) RESTRICTIONS.—Not all locations are suitable for assembled19 protests. Protesting another’s funeral near the funeral location, for20 example, infringes on the rights of a family to mourn their loved21 ones. Forms of slander and false advertising can similarly be22 restricted and by dishonestly deceiving others harm them and their23 inalienable rights.24 Section 210. Right to Participate in Politics25 (a) IN GENERAL.—Governments, according to the Declaration of26 Independence, derive their just authority from the consent of the27 governed to the extent that governments which do not protect the28 inalienable rights of the people, given by our Creator, may be29 altered or abolished by the people. Legislative representation is a30
  • 9.
    right formidable totyrants only. Suffrage, the right to vote, is a1 fundamental right per Article 15 of James Madison’s Memorial and2 Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments. One’s religious3 opinions should not affect their right to run for office or vote, per4 the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom.5 (b) CONDITIONS.—There may nonetheless be age requirements6 placed on voting and running for office to ensure maturity, and7 citizenship/residency requirements for voting and running for8 office.9 Section 211. Right to Equal Opportunity at Citizenship10 The United States, per Article 9 of James Madison’s Memorial and11 Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments, was originally intended to12 serve as an asylum to the persecuted. There must be equal opportunity in13 pursuing citizenship apart from discriminations such as religious14 profession, race, and ethnicity, although severe infectious diseases are a15 valid basis for exclusion. As such, country-specific immigration quotas,16 which have been used historically with racist intent, e.g. the 1882 Chinese17 Exclusion Act, Immigration Act of 1924, and Page Act of 1875, are18 unconstitutional.19 Section 212. Right to Keep and Bear Arms20 The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed per the21 2nd Amendment to the United States, given its necessity to the security of a22 free state. While advanced assault weapons may plausibly be restricted, the23 right of all to own basic weapons and firearms shall not be restricted.24 Section 213. Right to Physical Safety25 (a) IN GENERAL.—A right to autonomous security from unreasonable26 searches and seizures is clearly seen from the 3rd and 4th 27 Amendments to the U.S. Constitution which prohibit quartering of28 soldiers in peacetime without the homeowner’s consent, prohibit29 quartering of soldiers in time of war without legislative basis; and30
  • 10.
    prohibit unreasonable searchesand seizures absent warrants based1 on probable cause. Per the 4th Amendment, the people have a2 fundamental right to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and3 effects. A guarantee against domestic violence in Article IV4 similarly protects the right of the people to personal security.5 (b) MITIGATING CIRCUMSTANCES.—Clearly criminal activity6 creates a reasonable necessity for violating the security of persons7 and their houses, papers, and effects, or no criminal could ever be8 punished. Nonetheless, warrants for arrest or violation of one’s9 property or personal belongings that require entering a person’s10 property must be based upon probable cause, supported by oath or11 affirmation, and describe in specifics the location to be searched12 and items to be seized; consistent with the 4th Amendment to the13 Constitution.14 Section 214. Right to Fair Taxation15 (a) IN GENERAL.—A right to fair legislatively-based taxation is16 evident both from the Declaration of Independence and Article 6 of17 the Province of Pennsylvania’s 1682 Laws Agreed Upon in18 England. Article 1, Section 9 of the U.S. Constitution declares that19 no money shall be drawn from the Treasury except by20 appropriations made by law. There should be no taxation without21 representation, and according to the U.S. Constitution’s Article 1,22 Section 7, all bills for raising revenue are to specifically originate in23 the House of Representatives. Taxation should not be imposed24 without the people’s consent according to the Declaration of25 Independence. Furthermore, all legislative, i.e. law-making26 authority rests with Congress according to Article 1, Section 1 of27 the Constitution, and this power includes taxation per Article 1,28 Section 8; therefore it follows that the Executive and Judicial29 branches lack such a taxation power. According to Article 6 of the30
  • 11.
    Province of Pennsylvania’s1682 Laws Agreed Upon in England, no1 money shall be raised or paid through taxes, customs, or2 contributions without specific legislative basis; and anyone who3 levies or collects any money contrary to this is a traitor who violates4 the people’s civil rights.5 (b) STATE APPLICATION.—Any county, district, city, or village that6 needs to raise revenue must have basis for doing so from either7 Congress or the state legislature.8 (c) INTERSTATE COMMERCE.—No taxes or duties may be laid on9 articles exported from another state unless necessary for supporting10 the state’s inspection laws per Article 1, Section 9 of the U.S.11 Constitution. According to Article IV, Section 2 of the U.S.12 Constitution the citizens of a given state are entitled to all the13 privileges and immunities they would have in a different state.14 Section 215. Right to Private Property15 (a) IN GENERAL.—A right to private property free from unreasonable16 searches and seizures or quartering of troops save in time of war as17 prescribed by Congress is evident from the 3rd and 4th Amendments18 to the U.S. Constitution.19 (b) SEVEN YEARS POSSESSION.—Seven years of quiet possession20 shall give an unquestionable right to land consistent with the 16th 21 Article of the Province of Pennsylvania’s 1682 Laws Agreed Upon22 in England.23 (c) ESTATE DEBT.—All lands shall be liable to pay debts per the 14th 24 Article of the Laws Agreed Upon in England, and in cases of25 felonies to make satisfaction to wronged parties of twice the value,26 per the 24th Article of the Province of Pennsylvania’s 1682 Laws27 Agreed Upon in England.28 (d) WILLS.—All wills in writing attested to by at least two witnesses29 shall be of equal force concerning the bequeathment of property30
  • 12.
    consistent with the25th Article of the Province of Pennsylvania’s1 1682 Laws Agreed Upon in England. In the case of felons such as2 traitors and murderers, one third of the estate will go to the next of3 kin to the victim, and the remainder to the next of kin to the4 criminal.5 TITLE III—RESTRUCTURING THE JUDICIARY6 PART A—THE JURY7 Section 301. Jury composition8 (a) NUMBER.— All trials shall consist of 12 jurors with the exception9 of felony criminal trials pursuing life imprisonment or the death10 penalty, which shall require 24 jurors with at least half who must11 agree per Art. VIII of the Province of Pennsylvania’s 1682 Laws12 Agreed Upon in England.13 (b) JUROR CHALLENGES.—Challenges shall always be allowed14 against jurors upon reasonable grounds, to question their honesty15 and integrity. Educational and career qualifications are irrelevant,16 but a person who has displayed a pattern of dishonesty, particularly17 in judicial proceedings, is not fit to be a juror.18 Section 302. Jury selection19 (a) LOCATION.— In a criminal case, the jury is to consist of persons20 who reside in the state and district where the crime was committed21 per the 6th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.22 (b) RANDOM POOL.—Jurors are to be randomly selected from a pool23 of all voting age persons in the district which have clean criminal24 backgrounds absent of felonies per Article VIII of the Province of25 Pennsylvania’s 1682 Laws Agreed Upon in England.26 (c) INSTRUCTIONS.—Congress and state legislatures may decide on27 a booklet of relevant information to uniformly provide juries to28 assist them in deciding cases. Judges and other courtroom personnel29 may not give case-specific rules of instruction to juries.30
  • 13.
    PART B—JUDGES1 Section 303.Tenure2 Beginning two years from the date of this bill’s enactment, all Federal3 Judges will be released from federal employment unless reappointed by the4 President, restriction of judicial tenure being consistent with Article 3,5 Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution and the 17th and 18th Articles of the6 Province of Pennsylvania’s 1682 Frame of Government. All future Federal7 Judges will receive 8-year terms, to which they may be reappointed by the8 President.9 Section 304. Pensions10 Retired Federal Judges who have not been successfully impeached shall11 receive $60,000 annual retirement pensions as funded by the U.S. Treasury.12 Section 305. Responsibilities13 (a) KEEPING ORDER.—A judge is to keep order in the court, and14 oversee hiring of courtroom personnel for maintaining that end.15 (b) APPOINTING CLERKS, COURT REPORTERS AND16 TRANSLATORS.—A judge is to appoint clerks of court that will17 maintain records and dockets, manage court information technology18 systems, pay all moneys received into the U.S. Treasury, send19 official court notices and summonses, and provide courtroom20 support services; court reporters that will report the details of cases;21 and translators who can resolve language difficulties that arise from22 having non-English speakers testify in the courtroom.23 PART C—SUPREME COURT JUSTICES24 Section 306. Term limits25 All Supreme Court Justices henceforth are subject to 20-year terms. Those26 which have been Supreme Court Justices longer than 20 years are hereby27 ordered to retire.28 Section 307. Pensions29 30
  • 14.
    Retired Supreme CourtJustices shall receive $80,000 annual retirement1 pensions as funded by the U.S. Treasury.2 Section 308. Number3 The number of Supreme Court Justices shall be nine, consistent with4 historical precedent.5 Section 309. Jurisdiction6 (a) ORIGINAL JURISDICTION.—The Supreme Court’s original7 jurisdiction shall extend, per Article III, Section 2 of the U.S.8 Constitution, to all cases involving ambassadors or other public9 ministers and consuls and to international disputes between nations10 to which the United States is a party.11 (b) APPELLATE JURISDICTION.—The Supreme Court’s appellate12 jurisdiction shall extend, per Article III, Section 2 of the U.S.13 Constitution, to all cases in law and equity relating to the14 Constitution, laws of the United States, and treaties; to all cases15 involving navies or oceanic disputes; to disputes between two or16 more states; to disputes between citizens of different states; to17 disputes between states and its citizens; and to disputes involving18 foreign states, citizens, or subjects with such exceptions and19 regulations as Congress shall make. Such regulations and20 exceptions are declared here:21 (1) NO JUDICIAL REVIEW.—All legislative, law-22 making authority and powers are vested in the legislative23 branch according to Article I, Section 1 of the U.S.24 Constitution. The President, whose responsibility it is to25 appoint Justices of the Supreme Court, is required to take26 care that the laws of the United States are faithfully executed27 per Article III, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution. As such,28 those he appoints must likewise be expected to uphold the29 laws passed by Congress, or the President by appointing30
  • 15.
    those who wouldviolate them would himself be violating his1 own oath of office. Judges are explicitly commanded to2 uphold all laws passed by Congress under Article VI of the3 U.S. Constitution. That Congress has power over the4 Judiciary, to regulate it, not the Judiciary to regulate5 Congress, is further evident from the Constitution’s6 delegation of control to Congress in defining the Judiciary’s7 appellate jurisdiction (Art. III, Sec. 2), provision of a lengthy8 list of powers to Congress which are never provided to the9 Judiciary (Art. I, Sec. 8), delegation of authority to Congress10 in constituting all courts below the Supreme Court (Art. I,11 Sec. 8), allowance of the Senate to authorize the appointment12 of Supreme Court Justices (Art. II, Sec. 2), delegation of the13 power to impeach Supreme Court Justices to Congress (Art.14 I, Sections 2 and 3), and authorization of Congress to define15 trial locations of interstate crimes such as those presided over16 by the Supreme Court. (Art. III, Sec. 2) That the Supreme17 Court has overstepped its constitutional bounds in18 tyrannically opposing the democratic will of the American19 people is evident from Obergefell v. Hodges when the20 Supreme Court overturned the ballot referendum-based laws21 of 30 states that had been voted upon by the American22 people. As such, the Supreme Court’s jurisdiction is hereby23 restricted from declaring any laws passed by Congress24 unconstitutional, and only those laws passed by state25 legislatures which directly contradict by the strictest letter of26 the law that which is in the Constitution or laws passed by27 Congress may be declared unconstitutional.28 (2) NO RULING ON RELIGIOUS MATTERS.—The29 Judiciary is hereby prohibited from interpreting anything30
  • 16.
    whatsoever regarding religiousfreedom separate from laws1 passed by Congress. Thomas Jefferson’s legislation the2 Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom warned that allowing3 the civil magistrate to intrude their powers into the field of4 opinion, restraining the profession or propagation of5 principles on supposition of their ill tendency, would destroy6 all religious liberty since they being judges over such7 tendency would tyrannically enforce their opinions on others.8 James Madison in Article 5 of his legislation Memorial and9 Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments rejected the10 notion that civil magistrates can be competent judges of11 religious truth or employ religion as an engine of civil policy,12 calling the first an arrogant pretension falsified by the13 contradictory opinions of rulers in all ages, and throughout14 the world, and the second an unhallowed perversion of the15 means of salvation. Allowing judges to determine the16 boundaries of religious freedom thus results in tyranny as17 they destroy the fundamental right to religious freedom to18 force their own beliefs upon others.19 PART C—COURT PROCEEDINGS20 Section 310. Oaths or affirmations21 (a) JUDICIAL OFFICERS.—All judicial officers, including judges,22 clerks of court, etc., are required by oath or affirmation to testify23 upon first entering employment that they will support the U.S.24 Constitution and take care that its laws will be faithfully executed,25 consistent with Article VI and Article II, Sections 1 and 3 of the26 U.S. Constitution.27 (b) PLAINTIFFS.—All plaintiffs must first solemnly declare in court28 that they believe in their consciences that their cause is just, per the29
  • 17.
    6th Article of theProvince of Pennsylvania’s 1682 Laws Agreed1 Upon in England.2 (c) WITNESSES.—All witnesses called to testify are first required to3 promise they will speak the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but4 the truth concerning the matter or thing in question, per the 26th 5 Article of the Province of Pennsylvania’s 1682 Laws Agreed Upon6 in England.7 Section 311. Judgments8 (a) IN GENERAL.—The jury shall reach a decision of either guilty or9 not guilty.10 (b) PLEA BARGAINS PROHIBITED.—Plea bargains are prohibited11 as a form of coercion. Reduced sentencing for pleading guilty shall12 not be used to coerce the innocent to admit guilt, thereby waiving13 their constitutional rights to a speedy public trial by jury; if there is14 enough evidence to convict, then let them be found guilty, if not,15 then let them be found guiltless.16 (c) SENTENCING GUIDELINES.—Sentencing is to be determined17 solely by jury decision, however Congress or state legislatures may18 declare specific sentencing guidelines for certain crimes within19 which jury decisions must abide.20 21 22
