sentatives of the people, should make
known to the judicial department the
wants of the people. The judicial de-
partment should then draw UP a law
to meet the requirements, which sholIa
be forwarded to the legislative De-
partment for enactment; after the en-
actment it should pass to the exeeu-

In a case that comes before the
court. and there is no law in existence
to decide the point, no decision should
be rendered by h court, but the case

legislative department for decision, and
an appeal could be taken from their
decision, to the people direct, which
would be final.
Section /, article 8, states: Judges
shall retain their position during good
behavior: implying in conformation Of
the intent of the constitution, that the
people are superior to the courts, and
as the legislatures represent the peo-
pie, their jurisdiction exceeds that OF
the court, and the jurisdiction of the
people exceeds that Of the Legislatures,
as created cannot be greater than the
creator.
Section 1, article 1, reserves the
legislative power to congress. A case
decided by the court, where no law ex-
lists to cover the point, quoting the.
decision as a precedent, and giving it
the weight, and value OF g. law In sub
sequent cases, is unconstitutional, and
a usurpation Of legislative power.
Section /, article 2. reserves the exc
cutive power to the president. A rul-
ing by injunction, or contempt pro-
ceedings is unconstitutional and a
usurpation Of the executive power. A
decision that any law properly passed
having endorsement of the president,
is unconstitutional Is a ~usurpation OF
the executive power OF veto. a.
Section 4, article 4. the United States
guarantees to every state in the union
a republican form of government. The
present form is that Of a judicial oil
garchy.
Article s of the amendments adopted

amendments, provides for supplying all

connection with other statements in
the various articles, the intent Of the
CONSTITUTION was W Ja0SiSO @lSS

Article ID, amendments adopted
1868; all persons born or naturalized
in the United States, and subject to
the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens Of
the United States and Of the state in
which they reside. No state shall
make or enforce any law, which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities

MED or abridged by the United States,
or by any state, on account Of race.
color, or previous condition OF servi-

Section 2, same article, the congress
shall have power to enforce this ar

provides for equal suffrage, but the
judicial department, taking precedent
from the condition of servitude of, wo-
man in England, set aside our con-

and declare judicial, sovereignty.

function OF the government, taking
their property, and carrying on the

When justice is free. the constitution
will watch over us like a father, full
filling our wants, righting our wrongs
and we will not be aware, or conscious
OF the existence of "a law, unless we
are wronged, or wrong another. Then
we will have in fact, as in name, 9

by the people, with equal justice and
rights to all.
We hold these truths to be self evil

that among these are life, liberty, and
