An American Sovereign

If your on Facebook, you need to go check out Jeff's page.

Since involuntary servitude is abolished by the 13th amendment, and prior to that, the Declaration of Independence, wherein it states governments are instituted among men to SECURE RIGHTS (i.e., life and liberty) it is clear that citizenship cannot be imposed by birth on a free people.

A free people may consent, and assert citizenship, thus voluntarily step down in status, accept the civic duties, in exchange for political liberties.

By this, we can reason that American people were born with the birthright of sovereignty, freedom and independence, the blessings of the republican form of government, and the natural and personal liberty associated with that status.

Thus, the American national, free inhabitant, domiciled within the boundaries of the united States of America, was and is an American sovereign, master of his domain, and subject of no one.

Legal arguments aside, it was once common knowledge that Americans were sovereigns. And it explains why Americans did not bow nor kneel to foreign monarchs, being their social equals. And it also explains why “common” Americans could marry foreign nobility and not violate their local laws barring marriages to “commoners.”

His audience knew what an “American sovereign” was, to understand the joke. But today’s audience would be clueless.
