- SOVEREIGN
-
- The concept of sovereignty stand on its own. The sources shown
- below may help you to see that it is a respected and valid
- concept.
-
- "...at the Revolution, the sovereignty devolved on the
- people; and they are truly the sovereigns of the country, but
- they are sovereigns without subjects...with none to govern but
- themselves; the citizens of America are equal as fellow citizens,
- and as joint tenants in the sovereignty." CHISHOLM v. GEORGIA
- (US) 2 Dall 419, 454, 1 L Ed 440, 455 @DALL 1793 pp471-472

- [Frog Farmer sez: The above was true until the majority abandoned it in
- favor of being coddled with the "benefits" associated with the voluntary
- waiver of their sovereign rights and their abdication of sovereignty
- itself. However, it still exists with a very very small minority.]
- =================================================================
-
- The second paragraph below contains a strong statement of the
- sovereignty of the people.
-
- The section is what is known as the "Brown Act" or
- "secret meeting law" (California Government Code).
-

-
- Chapter 9
-
- MEETINGS
-
- Section 54950. Declaration, intent; sovereignty. In enacting
- this chapter, the Legislature finds and declares that the public
- commissions, boards and councils and other public agencies in
- this State exist to aid in the conduct of the people's business.
- It is the intent of the law that their actions be taken openly
- and that their deliberations be conducted openly.
-
- The people of the State do not yield their sovereignty to
- the agencies which serve them. The people, in delegating
- authority, do not give their public servants the right to decide
- what is good for the people to know and what is not good for
- them to know. The people insist on remaining informed so that
- they may retain control over the instruments they have created.
- (Added Stats. 1953, c. 1588, p.3270, sec. 1.)

- [FF sez: The people who are served by the agencies must be distinguished
- from those who serve (are subject to) the agencies. Which are you?]
