Yes - I've heard about that but wasn't sure if it was actually verified. Interesting sleuthing there, Patriot2008
I'd like to see us switch to a form of law that can be understood by We The People and doesn't require a middle-man for interpretation. Much like the Pope being the middleman between people and God. UNNECESSARY.
The war of 1812 never made sense to me. Now it does.
The Constitution requires three-quarters of the states to ratify a proposed amendment before it may be added to the Constitution. When Congress proposed the "Title of Nobility" Amendment in 1810, there were seventeen states, thirteen of which would have to ratify for the Amendment to be adopted. According to the National Archives, the following is a list of the twelve states that ratified, and their dates of ratification: Maryland, Dec. 25, 1810 Kentucky, Jan. 31, 1811 Ohio, Jan. 31, 1811 Delaware, Feb. 2, 1811 Pennsylvania, Feb. 6, 1811 New Jersey, Feb. 13, 1811 Vermont, Oct. 24, 1811 Tennessee, Nov. 21, 1811 Georgia, Dec. 13, 1811 North Carolina, Dec. 23, 1811 Massachusetts, Feb. 27, 1812 New Hampshire, Dec. 10, 1812 Before a thirteenth state could ratify, the War of 1812 broke out with England. By the time the war ended in 1814, the British had burned the Capitol, the Library of Congress, and most of the records of the first 38 years of government. Whether there was a connection between the proposed "title of nobility" amendment and the War of 1812 is not known. However, the momentum to ratify the proposed Amendment was lost in the tumult of war.
Interesting.
I remember reading somewhere that the American legal system was originally designed so that any man with a 3rd grade education could represent himself in a court of law. If you are trying to control people for your own wealth you can't have a 3rd grade education understanding the law.
Every politician that has taken the BAR exam has now a title from a foreign power. England. All should be removed from Congress. What a change in our political process! No lawyers!
In addition to this. There is NO LICENSE to practice law in America. It's a bold face LIE. The bar membership is, in fact, a 'union card'. It is no different than an acto'rs or actress' gild card. Look this up. I have watched it in court being called out and the reaction from the judge was to allow the defendant to be represented by an 'Amicus' "this one time". The word 'Amicus' means -- (in Britain) a trade union representing workers in manufacturing industries, now part of Unite.
I need to educate myself a lot more on this subject. It is calling me. All new to me this past year.
