Section 2. Affirm That Those Powers Not Delegated Are Reserved To The States And Retained By The People. The federal government will immediately cease to unlawful usurpation of property, power and authority. This State affirms that all powers not delegated to the federal government by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or retained by the People.

That to secure these rights, the governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the People to alter or abolish it and to institute a new government. The Citizens from the State Militias, who compose the Military of this nation, shall be maintained and remain loyal to this Constitution. Those people who have been elected, appointed or employed to serve the general public my be referred to as public servants. All public servants are under solemn oath to preserve, protect and defend this Constitution and the individual rights guaranteed to each and every American. Any public servant who shall intentionally attempt to subvert this Constitution, circumvent their solemn oath or violate the public faith shall cease to be an American. Paragraph 3. Defining Our citizenship _____________________________________________________________________ It is essential for the survival of this nation, for the people to know exactly who they are and be able to define there Citizenship. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The People of this nation are Americans. Only People who have been born of an American or who have been explicitly and legally naturalized as Americans shall be Americans. Americans who establish a domicile in one of the several States shall be Citizens of that State in which they domicile. Citizens of the several States may be referred to as American Citizens, or more simply as Citizens. In the constitutional republic, Americans are Citizens by virtue of their State Citizenship. Those Americans who have not established a domicile in one of the several States shall be referred to as American Nationals. American Nationals shall become Citizens upon establishing a domicile in one of the several States. No State shall restrict an American from establishing a domicile in that State. The Federal Agency shall establish no special class of Americans or federal citizenship over which it shall have jurisdiction. Only Americans shall participate in public service. Paragraph 4. Establishing Equality And Justice Under The Law ---------------------------------------------------------------------- We establish that the purpose of law is to protect not to coerce. The force of law must not be used to form society. It must protect liberty and establish justice. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Purpose of the law is to establish justice among the People by protecting the natural rights of each and every American.

Only Americans are ensured the full rights, privileges and immunities guaranteed in this Constitution. Paragraph 5. Limiting The Jurisdiction Of The Federal Agency ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The greatest threat to the people of this nation is the government itself. Government must not be allowed to assume powers not delegated to it by the Constitution. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The sovereignty of the States and the individual liberty of the People shall be protected by specifically limiting the authority of the Federal Agency. The jurisdiction of the Federal Agency shall be wholly founded on this Constitution and shall be limited to those powers explicitly delegated to it.

The Jurisdiction and powers exercised within the territories by the Federal Agency shall have the same scope and limits as within the sovereign States if America. Paragraph 7. Preserving Sovereignty And Ensuring Honesty ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ultimately the authority has to be in the hands of the people. When you allow the government to assume its own powers, the people will lose their sovereignty. The activities of government must be open to the public review. It is the darkness and secrets of government which breeds corruption. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- America is composed of free and sovereign States who have come together to unite as one nation. When States join this union, they accept certain principles of government, agree to uphold this Constitution and delegate certain specific powers to the Federal Agency.

Paragraph 8. Establishing A Constitutional Monetary System ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Constitutional Monetary System places the power of the currency solidly in the hands of the American People. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Treasury of America, more simply referred to as the Treasury, shall serve as the constitutional source for a uniform, stable and sufficient medium of exchange to be issued as legal tender for all debts public and private.

Paragraph 9. Correcting The Sins Of The Past ---------------------------------------------------------------------- It is time we take responsibility for the mistakes we have made in the past. Government will no longer provide social entitlements, those who currently depend on the past entitlements will be protected but the programs will be phased out and privatized. We will free ourselves by addressing the problems directly. Freedom requires both responsibility and action. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Upon ratification of this amendment, all paper currency, bank deposits and investment credits denominated in Federal Reserve Notes currently belonging to Americans shall be converted without restriction into American Dollars issued by the Treasury. All current lawful agreements among Americans denominated in Federal Reserve Notes shall be converted to American Dollars. All lawful debts previously created by the Federal Agency owed directly or indirectly to Americans shall be guaranteed, converted and redeemed at current value by the Treasury in American Dollars. The regulation of current entitlements previously enacted by the Federal Agency, upon which certain Americans depend, shall be relegated to the State or District within which they domicile. These Entitlements shall be guaranteed and funded by the Treasury without apportionment and without debt. Past entitlements shall be continued only as long as required, phased out through attrition, and privatized as soon as possible. No past entitlements shall be maintained or extended beyond a period of seven years following the ratification of this amendment. Paragraph 10. Establishing A National Constitutional Election ---------------------------------------------------------------------- It has always been the right of the people to control its government. This amendment establishes an effective method to exercise this responsibility. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The sovereign Citizens retain the sole power to amend this constitution, to repeal an amendment, to secede from the Union and to refound this nation through a constitutional initiative process regulated by each State. A constitutional initiative shall be proposed when 15 percent of the qualified voters of a particular State agree to put it on their State ballot within two years of its filing. The filing procedure shall not be restricted. When three States approve the same initiative, not including a Seceding Initiative, the initiative] shall be automatically put on the ballots of all the other States for their next respective Constitutional Election. If the initiative is not approved by the State, it is no longer on the State ballot and can only be proposed again for that State if the Citizens of that State themselves put it on the ballot again through the initiative process. If the initiative is approved by the State, it shall remain active for seven years. If the initiative has remained active for seven years in the State and it has not yet become ratified as law then it shall be considered rejected by that State. The approved initiative may be rejected by that State before it becomes law when a Rejecting Initiative is proposed and approved by that state through the initiative process. Once a year a "Constitutional Election" shall be held by each State to approve or reject the proposed constitutional initiatives by popular vote. If no constitutional initiatives are on the ballot for a State then no Constitutional Election shall be held in that State. The Citizens shall ratify a new amendment when three-fourths of the States agree to approve the proposed Amending Initiative. the citizens shall repeal an amendment when three-fourths of the States agree to approve the proposed Repealing Initiative. The repealed amendment shall then be removed and the other amendments shall be renumbered sequentially. Neither this amendment nor the first ten amendments shall be repealed. A state may secede from this nation if three-fourths of the qualified voters of that State agree to the proposed Seceding Initiative. Finally and most importantly, The Citizens shall refound this nation when two-thirds of the several sovereign States agree to approve the proposed Refounding Initiative. Upon the ratification of this amendment and whenever this nation is again refounded, this Constitution up through and including the first ten amendments shall be reinstated as the supreme law of the land, all subsequent amendments shall be repealed with the exception of this "The Refounding Amendment" which shall be renamed the eleventh Amendment. ====================================================================== ====================================================================== The refounding society requires no formal membership. Each individual choosing to support the Refounding Amendment are, The Refounders of this great nation, Citizens dedicated to Americas sovereignty and the Constitution.
