Which Constitution??? Jan. 1990 by Richard McDonald The Federal Constitution can only be applied and used against the Federal Government. The Bill of Rights (Articles in addition to the original first 7 articles) were written strictly as a limitation on the Federal Government, to protect the Citizens of the several States from the Federal Government. The Federal Constitution does NOT apply to State actions against State Citizens. The so-called 14th Amendment since 1969 has allowed limited application of the Federal Constitution only to the extent that Congress has seen fit to grant as a privilege, to be applied against State Governments, for the specific protection of the so- called 14th Amendment "citizens of the United States." This amendment is only of admiralty or equity jurisdiction, and these de facto citizens are not under the Common Law. They do not have unalienable rights, only limited statutory "civil rights", that Congress has seen fit to grant them. The individual State Constitutions, all of which are harmonious in meaning with the Federal Constitution, were written to protect the Citizens of the several States (State Citizens) from the State governments, and all are based on the Common Law. So in order to invoke the Common Law in federal court, you, as a State Citizen, must use the State Constitution, backed up by the Federal Constitution, use only Common Law writs. (Do not use any Federal Codes at all!) Since the Federal Government is not within the Common Law (not being in any State of the Union), the Federal Courts are required to follow the Common Law of the State where the State Citizen is domiciled, whenever the State Citizen is before the Federal Court, invoking the State Constitution. Also, there are two (2) Federal Writs of Habeas Corpus: 1. The Common Law writ under Article I, section 9, of the Constitution for the United States of America (1787), which is available only to White Common Law State Citizens; and, (2) Under the all writs statute, which is for all others, and Congress has allowed only limited applications, and which can be denied for any reason. There are two (2) Writs of Habeas Corpus for the State of California: (1) Under the Constitution, Article I, section 11, which is for the White Common Law State Citizens; and, (2) in the Penal Code, Title 12, Chapter 12, section 1473, which was enacted 23 years after the creation of the State of California in 1872. This is for all other "persons" (i.e., 14th Amendment federal citizens) since they did not have access to the Common Law. So are you a White Common Law Citizen of the State or a federal citizen of the District of Columbia? Use the rights laws and you may win!!! # # #
