Beginning in this last century, the State has imposed a 'legal identity' upon all babies by way of the 'birth certificate'. It is upon this 'legal fiction' [person] that all legislation is imposed, be it driver's license, real property possession, taxes, civil and criminal laws, marriage and so on. All legislation - acts, statutes, orders and bylaws - is upon 'persons' - a term derived from a mask or role of an actor in Roman times. No legislation, Federal, State, county or city are applicable to 'free will men and free will women.

The name on a 'birth certificate', which includes the family name as the primary name, or as an integral part of the baby's name on that certificate, is the name of the legal fiction - legal identity - person. The parents completed a form for a Statement Of Birth, or Certification of Live Birth, which had on it a space for 'given name' and 'family' name. On this form, the family name is for reference purposes to show placement of the baby 'given' the name inscribed.

Example: If your given names were 'John Henry', and your family name is 'Doe', then you would be 'John-Henry' of the 'Doe' family. 'John Henry Doe', regardless in which case the name is spelled or if the family name is first, is the name of the State created and owned 'legal identity' attached to the baby concerned. Such a legal identity attached to the body of a man or woman is called a 'Natural Person'.

'Natural person' is a slave status imposed upon a human body, thus supposedly making the physically real thing a fictional thing - your body, identified with, or as, a legal fiction - a make-believe 'crewmember' on a 'make-believe ship' (body politic). This supposedly transforms the body of a free will mind (of a man or woman) into a 'corporate entity'. The other, and main point of the following quote is the fact that governments cannot deal with 'free will men and women' - our true status in Creation.

The US Supreme Court confirms that government are corporations:

U.S. Supreme Court
VAN BROCKLIN v. STATE OF TENNESSEE, 117 U.S. 151 (1886) [Source]

"In the words of Chief Justice MARSHALL: 'The United States is a government, and consequently a body politic and corporate, capable of attaining the objects for which it was created, by the means which are necessary for their attainment. This great corporation was ordained and established by the American people, and endowed by them with great powers for important purposes.

Its powers are unquestionably limited; but while within those limits, it is as perfect a government as any other, having all the faculties and properties belonging to a government, with a perfect right to use them freely, in order to accomplish the objects of its institution.'
U. S. v. Maurice, 2 Brock. 96, 109."

Further commentary from a the now defunct BBCOA website on these two cases: "Inasmuch as every government is an artificial person, an abstraction, and a creature of the mind only, a government can interface only with other artificial person. The imaginary, having neither actuality nor substance, is foreclosed from creating and attaining parity with the tangible. The legal manifestation of this that no government as well as any law, agency, aspect, court, etc., can concern itself with anything other that corporate, artificial persons and the contracts between them." Penhallow vs. Doane's Administrator, 3 US 54, 1 L.Ed.57, 3 Dall. 54 (1795)

The obvious conclusion from the above cite is: The imaginary, having neither actuality nor substance, is foreclosed from creating and attaining parity with the tangible - mankind in their natural state." The use of 'artificial' as an adjective for 'person' is redundant, as any person, artificial or natural' is a mythical entity, unless one is a human crewmember on an actual ship at sea.

The following exerpt from a 1796 US (North Carolina) Court case tells us the true status of government laws relative to free will men:

"That the majority shall prevail is a rule posterior to the formation of government, and results from it. It is not a rule binding upon mankind in their natural state. There, every man is independent of all laws, except those prescribed by nature. He is not bound by any institutions formed by his fellowmen without his consent." CRUDEN v. NEALE, 2 N.C. 338 May Term 1796.

PS: Even if the quote of the cited cases is authentic, they stands as truth by reasonable deduction.

The legal manifestation of this is that no government, as well as any law, agency, aspect, court, etc. can concern itself with anything other than corporate artificial persons(incorporated bodies) and natural persons(humans in a status of subjugation) and the contracts between them.

In researching the above court cites, one finds them used in documents where the defendants or litigants failed to realize that they were dealing with the 'property right' of the State, which supercedes statutory (codified) law, by their being considered by the corporate Government to be of slave/property status subject to the slave owner, the corporate State.

So, because "government" cannot force a free will human to be a corporate member, even though they use deception to entrap people into the status of "subject/slave" natural person, they do have to make an "exit door" available. That "exit door" is found buried in some government act. In the USA, it is in the Uniform Commercial Code, and in Canada, it is in the Criminal Code.

Disobeying a statute
Sec. 126 (1) Every one who, without lawful excuse, contravenes an Act of Parliament by wilfully doing anything that it forbids or by wilfully omitting to do anything that it requires to be done is, unless a punishment is expressly provided by law, guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years.
R.S., 1985, c. C-46, s. 126; R.S., 1985, c. 27 (1st Supp.), s. 185(F).

Disobeying order of court
Sec. 127. (1) Every one who, without lawful excuse, disobeys a lawful order made by a court of justice or by a person or body of persons authorized by any Act to make or give the order, other than an order for the payment of money, is, unless a punishment or other mode of proceeding is expressly provided by law, guilty of (a) an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years; or (b) an offence punishable on summary conviction.

Rob points out that in some jurisdictions, as in New Zealand, the phrase "without lawful excuse" is replaced with the phrase "without claim of right".

This then explains the use of Section 39 of the Criminal Code of Canada which says: "Defence with claim of right"

(1) Every one who is in peaceable possession of personal property under a claim of right, and every one acting under his authority, is protected from criminal responsibility for defending that possession, even against a person entitled by law to possession of it, if he uses no more force than is necessary.

This also suggests that there are no true 'judicial' courts for the 'free will people' of the united States of America [and Canada]. All courts are 'administrative' ( All 'judges' are officers of the make-believe ship called a State or of the UNITED STATES - executive branch of government) for 'contract adjudication'. There MUST BE a contract in place between the parties in dispute and the 'arbitrator judge' for a judge to act as arbitrator.

This means that the summons or arrest warrant and trial are by contract of the accused with the Clerk of the Court; and another contract between the judge and the accused for the offer of sentence.

And, a primary point here is that for a contract to be valid, it must be voluntary by all parties concerned. This is true for both maritime and common law. If the accused refuses to volunteer to be tried or sentenced, in a timely manner, then the case cannot lawfully proceed. This applies to anything from a jay-walking ticket to murder.

So, if we want a true justice system, we must install a proper Anglo-Saxon Common Law justice system, with the requirements as stated in the Magna Carta of England created in 1215 and confirmed in 1225.
