TENTH AMENDMENT DEFINED

 

ISSUE NUMBER ONE:

 

THE ARTICLES OF THE CONSTITUTION ARE ETCHED IN STONE

PERIOD! END OF STORY!

 

THE ARTICLES OF THE CONSTITUTION ARE NOT TO BE CHANGED

BY THE GOVERNMENT

FOR THE GOVERNMENT

 

THE ONLY CHANGES TO THE CONSTITUTION

THAT ARE ALLOWED BY THE CONSTITUTION

ARE CHANGES BY THE PEOPLE

FOR THE PEOPLE

 

ALL LAWS THAT HAVE BEEN ISSUED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

THAT BY-PASS THE CONSTITUTION

ARE ILLEGAL

 

ALL STATE, COUNTY AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS

THIS INCLUDES ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS

HAVE THE LEGAL OBLIGATION TO DEFEND

ALL OF THEIR STATES RESIDENTS

AGAINST ALL UNCONSTITUTIONAL FEDERAL LAWS

 

One of the biggest reasons that I am a fan of Alex Jones and Gary Franchi is because they constantly point out the FACT that our local law enforcement (the people WE pay to protect US) have been kidnapped, bribed and brain washed by the Tyrannical Federal Government to do their bidding.

But that’s a whole page writing of it’s own, so let’s focus on the Tenth Amendment.

 

“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution” 

 

First off let’s make it perfectly clear. 

There is no interpretation needed to explain that in the Tenth Amendment, the words “United States” refers to the Federal Government. It actually refers to the Several States as a whole entity but essentially means the central government of the United States. 

 

“The powers not delegated to the Federal Government by the Constitution” 

 

So let’s cover what powers are delegated to the Federal Government over the people and over the states by the Constitution.  

Article. I. Section. 2. Dictates that Representatives and direct taxes will be apportioned (divide among many) among the states according to their respective numbers. 

Traditionally a direct tax in the constitutional sense means a tax on property by reason of its ownership (such as an ordinary real estate property tax imposed on the person owning the property as of January 1st of each year) as well as a capitation (a head tax). In the late 1800s, U.S. courts also began to treat an income tax on income from property as a direct tax. In U.S. constitutional law, an indirect tax or excise is an event tax. In this sense, a transfer tax (such as gift tax and estate tax) is an indirect tax. Income taxes on income from personal services such as wages are also indirect taxes in this sense. The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit has stated: “Only three taxes are definitely known to be direct: (1) a capitation [a head tax], (2) a tax upon real property, and (3) a tax upon personal property”.

This is why originally voting was done only by people that owned property, the tax payers. I am not saying that the “legal” changes to the Constitution that gave more people the right to vote is bad. I will scream tell hoarse that welfare recipients voting in more welfare programs (including the current Health Control Bill) is a major contributing force to the monetary problems we face today.

The fall of Rome began the day the Plebeians learned that they could vote themselves free food. 

With limitations the Federal Government has the power to tax. 

They have the power to take censuses every ten years for the purpose of deciding Representation and taxes. 

Article. I. Section. 4 & 5. Gives Congress limited powers over elections. 

Article. I. Section. 6. Gives Congress the right to be paid. 

Article. I. Section. 7. Is where the power of creating (writing, proposing, initiating) bills “to raise revenue” shall ORIGINATE in the House of Representatives (the people supposedly representing the people, not there own objectives). These bills are not to be originated by the President, Congress or the Courts PERIOD. 

Article. I. Section. 8. Gives Congress the power to, uniformly, throughout the states, collect taxes for the purpose of:

     ·  Pay Debts (Debts incurred only for the purposes of fulfilling the obligations spelled out in the Constitution)

     ·  Provide for the Defense of the states

     ·  Provide for the General Welfare of the states

This does not mean providing welfare payments to individuals; this means to provide what is needed to maintain the General Welfare of the Union. I go into this in more detail in:

 

ARTICLES OF THE CONSTITUTION DEFINED

 

The Federal Government is breaking the law every time they steal a penny from one individual and give it to another. Thievery by force is the only definition of the Federal Governments welfare programs. 

The power of collecting taxes from one individual to pay for the welfare of another individual is left up to the states individually. Each state has the right to have welfare programs to assist others in the same state if that is what that state’s residents elect to do.

 

Article. I. Section. 8. Also gives Congress the power to:

     ·  Borrow money on the credit of the United States (to pay for only their Constitutional obligations)

     ·  Regulate Commerce between foreign nations with the states and with the Indian Tribes

     ·  Establish uniform Rule Of Naturalization and Laws of Bankruptcies

     ·  Coin money, regulate the value of coin and foreign coin and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures

     ·  To establish Post Offices and Post Roads (not take our money for an infrastructure, again that is up to the states)

     ·  To regulate patents

     ·  To call up the Militia (the Militia each state has a right to provided by the 2nd Amendment) for the purpose of:

- Execute the Laws of the Union

- Suppress Insurrection (Standing up for the States power over the Federal Government is not insurrection)

- Repel Invasions (stealing the states militia, leaving the states unprotected (even unprotected from the Federal Government) to send them to another country is unconstitutional)

     ·  To dictate to the states the discipline of the Militia

     ·  To establish Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, Dock-Yards and other needful buildings

     ·  To make laws

This is a big one. They have the power to make laws “necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers and all other powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States” 

This gives them no additional power over the states or the people. It only defines that they may create laws to carry out the powers already given to the Federal Government by the Constitution.

Article. I. Section. 9. Deals with the limitations of Congress and has only one provision that deals with the power of the Federal Government over the states which defines taxing, in that taxes shall not be laid unless in proportion to the census.

 

 “nor prohibited by it to the States”

 

Secondly let’s make it perfectly clear. There is no interpretation needed to explain that in the Tenth Amendment, the “it” refers to the Constitution.

 

“The powers not prohibited by the Constitution to the states”

 

So let’s cover what is prohibited to the States by the Constitution. 

Almost nothing is prohibited to the states by the Constitution. 

  • Abortion

  • Gay Marriage

  • Welfare Giveaway Programs

  • Murder by Butter Knife

Almost Any Thing left to the imagination is legal for the people of a state to decide on for each of their respective states. 

STOP RUNNING TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOR EVERY ISSUE.

This is how they have, over time, seized unconstitutional power.

Solve issues at the States level. All States are Sovereign Entities. That was the genius design of the Constitution.

 

Article. I. Section. 10. Dictates that NO State shall:

     ·  Enter into any Treaty, Alliance or Confederation

     ·  Grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal (crossover a border for any seizure or destruction of property)

     ·  Coin Money

     ·  Emit Bills of Credit

     ·  Make anything but gold or silver coin a tender in payment of debts

     ·  Pass any

- Bill of Attainder (punish without trial)

- Ex Post Facto Law (pass a law and prosecute for a crime committed before the law was passed)

- Law impairing the Obligation of a Contract

     ·  Grant any Title of Nobility

     ·  With some exceptions, Lay any Imposts or Duties

     ·  Without consent of Congress

- Lay any duty on tonnage

- Keep troops

-Keep ships of war in peacetime

-Enter into any agreement or compact with another state or foreign power

-Engage in war unless actually invaded or in such imminent danger as will not admit of delay

 

Article. IV. Section. 4  Does dictate that each state will have a Republican (rule by law) form of Government. This means that the Government is ruled by law just as the people are.

The Federal Government is also ruled by law. Most of the people in the Federal Government today ignore these laws thereby in my opinion are criminals.

 

So now read with the full intent of our following fathers, the Tenth Amendment:

 

Amendment X

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
