Consent

See also: 1638 Fundamental Orders

Consent is a social contract, both parties agree to the terms and conditions.In the Declaration of Independence, what do they say about the social contract?

In these times we cannot let public servants assume anything about our consent. Consent has to be directive, specific and written. Withdrawn as well. Consider, when submitting government paperwork, writing “No consent, no contract.” If anyone claims you’ve consented or made a contract have them put the proof on the table.

The Declaration of Independence: Governments “deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed” means that the only type of government possible in America is one which governs by the consent of the governed. Since the Bill of Rights of 1689, the “consent of the governed” has been given by direct representation of the people whom are governed in the legislative assembly doing the governing

1777 Articles of Confederation: Free Inhabitants” were apolitical, not able to participate in the election process for the members of their States legislature assembly, and therefore had no direct representation in that assembly. Without direct representation, “free inhabitants” did not consent to be governed and hence were not subject to the laws passed by their States legislative assembly. “Free inhabitants” were subject only to the English common-law.”

Most controversies in government, whether you’re talking about critical race theory, masks, vaccine mandates, election integrity, almost all are associated with consent or the withdrawal of consent. To get to the root of the problems and fix them, they’re all associated with consent, presumed consent... and the fact that we need to vocalize our withdrawal of consent.
