1. Be vigilant; people will seek to use the government for selfish ends.
2. Avoid overgrown
military establishments; they are hostile to liberty.
3. Prevent all
obstructions to the execution of the laws.
4. Control
bureaucracies; make sure they all work together.
5. Avoid political parties;
they will cause divisive factions and unscrupulous men will use them to
undermine the government.
6. Give allegiance to
the Constitution; improve it as necessary.
7. Do not alter the
Constitution lightly, or based on hypothesis; apply the experience applied when
it was created.
8. Be suspicious of
administrators; they may serve themselves rather than the people.
9. Watch for
consolidation of power in any department of government.
10.
Preserve existing checks and balances and add more where power
needs to be checked.
11.
Religion and morality are essential to create the virtue
necessary to preserve the union.
12.
Promote widespread education; democracy requires literate
citizens that understand the system of governance and take responsibility for
themselves.
13.
Avoid debt; and immediately discharge any debt created by war.
14.
Taxes are unpleasant; government spending should be candidly
conducted.
15.
Cultivate peace and justice toward all nations.
16.
Avoid alliances and maintain neutrality among nations.
17.
Avoid dependency; a weak state that allies with a stronger state
will become its servant.
18.
Real patriots will resist intrigues, while dupes will surrender
to interests.
19.
In trade, give no nation a favored nation status.
20.
Be guided by principles, not interests.

In his warnings to posterity our American Revolutionary War Hero General and First President, George Washington, certainly laid out the bear traps regarding the potential for abuses by government and military.
These have turned out to be the very jaws of those traps that have snapped closed onto We the People.
Wake up to your true status. You are the master, independent and free, and not a slave to government run amok.
A Maryland National, learned in the Common Law, offers this:
A good place to begin browsing for
an introduction to the Common Law is this site:
http://constitution.org/law/
Notice that “The Law” by Frederic
Bastiat is there, in addition to other practical references.
Realize that WE do not live at the
Constitution. Rather, the Constitution is a Common Law Trust Contract that
describes the government created. It consists of an Executor, who is the
President, Trustees who are all government employees, and Beneficiaries of the
Trust who are WE the People. Feel free to correct anyone who says he or she has
“Constitutional Rights,” and the like.
Incidentally, since “WE" created the Constitution OVER the government, it follows that all attempts of the government to subjugate us are Null and Void. The government can NOT “mandate” us to take “medicines” any more than it can force people into the military under “Emergency Powers.” (Blackstone himself confirms this.) WE have Supreme Jurisdiction over the Constitution, and any action taken under it. We are the final arbiters over the Law of this Land; the Supreme Court is the government’s court. Only governmental entities and the corporations it has created are affected.
For the Common Law, the Bible
is the source book. Referring to “US Code”, or “Code of
Federal Regulations” [Civil Law] will be unnecessary and foreign, except if
needed to show congruence in certain circumstances. Old English Statutes, such
as the “Statute of Frauds”, or “Statute of Contracts” are still timely, and
settled. Here is a Biblical point showing the controversy-settling
essence of the Common Law:

is a handy on-line Bible link.
As you learn the Common Law, you
will see as Brent Allan Winters says in his book, “The Excellence of the
Common Law”, that Common Law seeks to find the Law applicable to the
situation for remedy, whereas Civil Law tends to establish non-compliance to
Statute Code, and applicable punishment. https://commonlawyer.com/?page=books
Here is Blackstone. https://avalon.law.yale.edu/subject_menus/blackstone.asp
His work is indispensable, but better to own (4 volumes from 1765). I have seen
subsequent editions that attempt to update; if LAW is unchanging, then why
rewrite? This will get you started…
If you use the initial sources above
and Common Law is new to you, then expect to take about 100 reading hours
before it comes together for you.
American jurisprudence was founded upon the Common Law. Yet after the 1860s it began to be squeezed out. By the 1930s the Common Law was overcome by the national security state and the many “federal programs” inaugurated by Franklin Delano Roosevelt to combat a Depression concocted by the central bankers. With the 1950s the Uniform Commercial Code began its national onslaught as state-after-state adopted it into their codes.
To get a feel for the oceanic change between the Common Law and the Civil (Corporate) version, consider how juries were mangled and subverted:
At common law:
1. A “jury of one’s peers”
actually refers to those within the community who have known the defendant and
can attest to his or her character; today, such peers would be routinely
rejected to serve as jurors due to their obvious “bias”
2. Juries are empowered to
determine questions of law, as well as fact. Today, judges routinely
provide “jury instructions” that disallow juries from determining the law (or
more precisely, its nature and specific application);
3. Modern court rules of
procedure have a provision for a “Directed Verdict,” wherein a judge can
overrule a jury’s verdict. This ability of a judge unconstitutionally
interferes with the absolute power that is vested in a jury’s power to render
verdicts.
To learn more, join a group that studies and lives by the Common Law and its living documents. The National States Assemblies, organized by Anna Marie Reizinger and compatriots (in all 50 states and around the world), provides a ready pathway toward becoming an American State National (or an American State Citizen).
"U.S. citizens" and "residents" of counties beware! Words are important; wittingly
or unwittingly they impute jurisdiction (and thus, liberty or subjugation).
Begin your journey and reclaim your sovereignty. Go here to find the coordinator in your state who can help you with appropriate advice and the suitable documents to enable you to expatriate from the corporate behemoth, USA, Inc.: https://tasa.americanstatenationals.org/
A war against your sacred liberty is currently being waged. Fight the good fight, as St. Paul exhorts us to do. Begin by correcting your status and removing yourself from the false, corporate jurisdiction; return by repatriating yourself to the original, constitutional republic: The United States of America
