I. INTRODUCTION

DEFINITION

The Articles Of Confederation was the original guiding document and plan for the United States of America. In this article, we will call them “the Articles”.

HISTORY

The articles were written in 1776 during the American Revolutionary War. They went into effect immediately.

They were used until 1789, when another meeting was held to replace them.

They were replaced because it was said they were not working and needed revision. I am told this is a complete lie. The truth is they worked excellently.

However, the aliens, thugs or rogues did not like them. They especially did not like the discussion about gold in the Articles.

The thugs spread the lie that the Articles were not working and organized the constitutional convention of 1789. They also destroyed all copies of the Articles of Confederation.

Therefore, what follows in this article has been reconstructed from talking with souls who were present on earth at that time.

ROLE OF THE ROGUES

I am told that during the constitutional convention of 1789, several rogue agents broke into the meeting hall brandishing weapons and announced that certain changes were needed. When a man objected, they fatally shot him with a laser weapon. They may have fatally shot several others who objected, including Patrick Henry.

The rogue men then told those left what changes were needed and that they were to tell no one about the thugs visit.

THE NAME OF THE DOCUMENT

The founders of America liked the name Articles Of Confederation. This is a legal term and very clear. However, the thugs said the name would be changed to The Constitution.

The term constitution is incorrect. It is not a legal term and it means one's makeup, structure or status.

II. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE ARTICLES OF CONFEDERATION AND THE CONSTITUTION

SUMMARY

The Articles of Confederation were somewhat longer than the Constitution. They established a weaker national government with many more safeguards for liberty. They worked excellently. The Constitution has fewer safeguards, is shorter, and explains things less well.

For each topic below, we will give an example of how the Articles of Confederation were better than our current Constitution.

Citizenship. This very important topic was much clearer in the Articles. Citizenship (always with a capital C) is to be by one's state, not the current national citizenship. It is a sovereign Citizenship that conferred more rights. The national citizenship began after the Civil War and is a subject citizenship.

Also, it was made clear that one's State Citizenship begins at conception, not at birth.

Example: If one was born in the state of Virginia, one is a Virginia Citizen.

The Supreme Court. All justices were be men and they were not to be in office for life.

Example: If a Supreme Court justice violates his oath of office to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States, he can be replaced easily.

Role of Congress. In the Articles, Congress had only one role with limited authority over the states. The new Constitution gave Congress two roles – limited authority over the states and complete power over the territories and possessions.

Giving Congress a dual role was a deliberate attempt to confuse people and thereby to drastically increase the power of the central government. This has caused severe confusion and terrible abuse of power to the Congress!

Today most people believe the lie that the Congress has complete authority over the 50 states that it does not have.

Example. If you look carefully at the agency laws such as that of the US Food And Drug Administration (FDA), you will learn that the law only applies in the territories and possessions of the United States. This is because the Congress does not have the power to regulate within the 50 states.

We know this sounds incredible, but it is true and it is explained in some books such as Good-Bye April 15 by Boston T. Party.

The truth is that all 47 or so American national government agencies are wholly illegal. Yet today they make over 99% of the “laws” in America. The word laws is in quotes because these agencies make regulations, but they have the force of law. This is all illegal.

Laws are supposed to be made by legislatures, not by agencies. When agencies make regulations that are treated as laws, they often violate the right to work, the right to contract, and four critical American legal doctrines:

1. Jurisdiction. This doctrine states that all laws apply only to specific people and specific location(s) that are detailed in the law or its context. In the case of the American agency laws such as FDA and IRS, they only apply in the territories and possessions of the United States, and do not apply in the 50 states.

We know this because the powers delegated to the Congress are explained in the US Constitution. All the American national government agencies violate the principle of jurisdiction every day because judges and others presume the agencies have jurisdiction over the 50 states, which is not true.

2. Separation of powers. This is the idea that one branch of government (legislative) should make the laws, another branch (executive) should enforce the laws, and the third branch (judicial) should judge the laws.

This legal doctrine distributes government power and protects liberty. However, the agencies legislate, execute and judge the regulations, thus negating this important legal doctrine.

3. Innocent until proven guilty. This is a basic tenet of American law. It means that if one is accused of a crime, the accuser must prove guilt in a court of law. The agency in present-day violates this critical principle of law.

Today, businesses and individuals are assumed guilty of violating agency regulations unless and until they can prove their innocence in illegal “administrative courts” set up by the agencies. These administrative courts are not part of the official legal American court system.

4. Delegated powers. This is the idea that all power resides with the Citizens of the United States. It is a shared sovereignty.

This is the opposite of most nations! In these nations, power and authority resides in the government, not in the people. The government is sovereign, not the people.

The US national and state constitutions include provisions to delegate, meaning to shift, a few powers to the central government and a few to the state and local governments.

There is no provision in the national constitution to delegate to the agencies the power they have today within the 50 states. Their absolute power only applies to the territories and possessions of the United States. In the Constitution, Congress was not given such power to delegate within the 50 states.

Money. In the Articles, gold was the currency of the United States. There was also a warning to the people to watch the price of gold. If the price of gold started to rise, it meant that something was wrong in the government. The discussion of gold was one of the best parts of the Articles.

In the new Constitution, this discussion was removed and replaced by the erroneous statement that both gold and silver are the currency of the United States.

Examples: All money should be immediately exchangeable into gold in the United States.

In both documents, Congress was given the power to coin the money and fix the value of it. The establishment of the Federal Reserve, a private company that controls American money, is wholly illegal.

Elections. The subject of elections and electors was much clearer. There was no “voting”. There were electors who were male state Citizens of a certain age who owned a certain amount of property.

Example: Allowing anyone to “vote” is actually illegal in America.

Women. The articles were clearer that women are not to be electors of government officials and were not to hold public office. This was put in because the founders knew at that time that very sadly, women were slaves of the rogues and not to be trusted. It was not because they thought women were inferior in any way.

Examples: Women should not be senators, governors or any high government office. They also should not vote. By changing this, America has become much more corrupt because sadly, women are quite controlled by the alien force called the rogues, thugs or satans.

Taxes. The section about taxes completely prohibited direct taxes. These are taxes on Citizens, rather than on goods or products. They tend to be the most oppressive types of taxes.

The new Constitution allowed direct taxes if they are “apportioned”. This means the same for everyone.

Also, there was a limit placed on how high tariffs and other excise taxes could be – around 10%. This was done to limit the amount of money the government could collect and therefore to help limit the size of government.

Example: The income tax is a direct tax, meaning a tax on people. In fact, it was never ratified properly. It also violates the Fourth Amendment, the right to contract, the right to protect your property and other rights.

Therefore, even if it were ratified, it should have been immediately struck down by the Supreme Court. The fact that it was not is due to a very corrupt Judicial branch of government in the United States.

III. DIFFERENCES IN THE BILL OF RIGHTS BETWEEN THE ARTICLES AND THE CONSTITUTION

Property. In the articles, there was a right to own property free and clear. This was removed from the Constitution. This is an important provision that is much needed today.

Example: One's house can be taken away by the government simply if one does not pay property tax. This is not proper and a great loss of liberty for the people of America.

Guns. In the articles, the Amendment about gun rights was worded much better. It stated that the people had a right to keep and bear arms to protect themselves from the government.

Example: This would end much abuse of this right by states and the national government who seek to limit and destroy this important right.

Work. In the articles, there was a right to work and a clear right to contract, meaning to buy and sell.

Example: These are basic rights. Occupational licensing laws clearly violate the right to contract and the right to work and need to be declared illegal. These occupational licensing laws do not assure quality of care.

They are simply control mechanisms that have raised prices and decreased the equality of care. All occupational licensing laws in the United States are completely illegal (based on the phony legal doctrine called the police powers). For details, read The Case Against Medical and All Occupational Licensing.

Move about. The Articles include a right to move about. This is in addition to the right to assemble, which is in the Constitution.

Example: The activity of the governors during the covid-19 mess to restrict people to their homes was clearly illegal.

Quartering soldiers. The Amendment about prohibiting quartering of soldiers in people's home was stronger. It was a terrible habit of the British at the time that caused stealing, rapes and other serious problems.

Thankfully, this has not been an issue in America, so far.
