Statutory law
See UNITED STATES CODE (U.S.C.)
Miranda v. Arizona Dictum: Where rights secured by the Constitution are involved there can be no rule making or legislation which would abrogate them.
The Supreme Court knew that illegitimate and unconstitutional practices get their first footing by silent approaches and slight deviations from legal procedure.
Statutory law or statute law is written law passed by a body of legislature. This is opposed to oral or customary law; or regulatory law promulgated by the executive or common law of the judiciary. Statutes may originate with national, state legislatures or local municipalities.
With the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 rightfully restored to its correct place as the Constitution of the Confederacy, statute laws of the United States can be confined to the territory or other property owned by or subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States of America. The confinement of federal laws to federal territory has always been the problem with the laws enacted by the Congress of the United States and signed by the President of the United States. This problem has persisted because there is no broad public recognition that the President of the United States and the President of the United States of America are two different offices. The only way the federal government can operate at its present scale is to continue the deception begun by George Washington and the only way the American people can have freedom is to expose it.
The Organic Laws of the United States of America create nothing more than one confederacy consisting of a Union of States which protect for its inhabitants their lives, freedom, territory, and property and for the State its sovereignty, freedom and independence and another Union of States which retains for the United States of America its territory and property. The government’s claim that ratification of the Constitution of September 17, 1787 would allow a Congress and President of the United States to make laws which applied directly to the people of the States was believed, although it was untrue for almost all Americans. The American people have become willing participants in a system of government variously called a republic, a representative democracy or simply a democracy without any knowledge of the written law underlying that government.
In the United States of America, primary legislation is, at the federal level, an Act of Congress. Article I Section 7 of the Constitution of September 17, 1787 describes the process in which a bill becomes statutory law, known as an Act of Congress. A member of Congress proposes a bill. A bill is a document that, if approved, will become law. If both houses of Congress approve the bill, it goes to the President of the United States who has the option to either approve it or veto it. If approved, the former bill becomes new statutory law, an Act of Congress.
In the United States, acts of Congress, such as federal statutes, are published chronologically in the order in which they become law, on an individual basis in official pamphlets called "slip laws." “Slip laws” are then grouped together in chronological order and published in official bound book form called “session laws.” The "session law" publication for Federal statutes is called the United States Statutes at Large. Any given act may be only one page, or hundreds of pages, in length. An act may be classified as either a "Public Law" or a "Private Law". By law, the text of the Statutes at Large, including all acts which have not been repealed, is "legal evidence" of the laws enacted by Congress. Slip laws are also competent evidence.
Statutory law can be found in two types of publications: compilations of statutes or codified laws. Both the compilations and the codes have the same wording, but their formats are different. Laws enacted during and after 1957 are cited by public law number. A public law number consist of the number of the U.S. Congress that passed it, followed be a second number that represents the chronological order of its passage. “Pub. L. 88-352” indicates the 352nd law passed by the 88th Congress. Laws enacted before 1957 are cited by the date of enactment of the law and the Statutes at Large chapter number assigned to it. Laws enacted before 1957 may sometimes also be cited by the volume number and page number in which the Stature at Large appears, followed by the Statute at Large chapter number assigned to it. “1 Stat. 189, Ch. 4” refers to the Act of Congress labeled “Chapter 4” located on page 189 of volume 1 of the Statute at Large. After passage, a law is codified, or published according to its subject category. The several State governments, either officially or through private commercial publishers, generally follow the three-part model for the publication of their own statutes: slip law, session law, and codification.
The Statutes at Large, however, is not a convenient tool for legal research. It is arranged strictly in chronological order so that statutes addressing related topics may be scattered across many volumes. Statutes often repeal or amend earlier laws and each repeal or amendment of an earlier law remains separate from the affected statute. There is no general index to the repeals or amendments of an affected statute. Therefore, extensive cross-referencing is required to determine what laws are in force at any given time.
An “entity” such as a corporation or State or City can be sued if it’s a statutory matter.
