The Constitution’s Article I
Section 8 POWERS of CONGRESS: 7 TRUTHS
War Powers, No Standing Army: after 2 years Army returns to State Militia Section 8 Clause 12. A permanent Navy protects Manufacturing’s Supply Chains Section 8 Clause 13. Army turned over to State Militia Section 8 Clause 12, 16.
States Prosecute Article III (Judiciary) Section 3 “Treason” to get a whole new Congress. When two State Officers identify State enemies and charges are filed, all protections of Government Officials are eliminated (shows up in every Article of Our Constitution). States prosecute treasonous Officials, Congress determines their punishment, States execute these Judgments.
States Amend Constitution without Congress – Article V to abolish 16th and 17th Amendments and “two-party” system” – to restore our States and Our Sovereignty and the Agency and Trust. Value Added Tax (VAT) to replace income taxes; appointing Federal Trade Judge “Chief Restructuring Officer” to effect “judicious” tariffs and imposts along with VAT eliminates “income” tax “extortion.” Make silver and gold anchor Paper Money. Note that if States have their own VAT following Constitutional guidelines, they can eliminate their corporate and individual income tax and cut off Federal Funding. VAT is collected at point of sale. The Constitution's 3 laws against graduated income tax (Hamilton's paragragh above next to armed tax agent) protect us.

Learning OBJECTIVES and GOALS of the Constitution Power Series
Our Republic as the Constitutional Convention Defined It: James Madison Federalist No. 39, The Conformity of the Plan [of the Constitutional Convention] to Republican Principles:
1. A republic is defined as “a government that derives all its powers directly or indirectly from the great body of the people.”
2. Republican government must be "derived from the great body of our society, not from either an inappropriate or favored class of people." [Alexander Hamilton’s ideal: the “merchant class” store owners and mangers]
3. Persons administering Republican government must be appointed either directly or indirectly by the people; and serve for limited terms.
4. A Republic reflects the constitutions of every State in the Union. Highest offices, like the President, and members of Congress serve for limited terms.
5. Comparing our Constitution with these standards, the great body of the people elects the House of Representatives immediately. The Senate derives its appointment indirectly from the people. [States were always to appoint their own Senators]
6. The most decisive proof of a republican “system is the absolute prohibition of titles of nobility under both federal and the State governments, and express guaranty of a republican form” for each of them.
7. The FEDERAL UNION is a CONFEDERACY of Sovereign States NOT a NATIONAL CONSOLIDATION of those States.
Definitions of FRAUD, an intentional (when one knows the truth) or reckless (without justified belief in the truth) concealment or misrepresentation of material fact made to induce another to act to his or her detriment...
A Democracy? "The two great points of difference between a democracy and a republic are: first, the delegation of the government, in the latter, to a small number of citizens elected by the rest; secondly, the greater number of citizens, and greater sphere of country, over which the latter may be extended," James Madison, Federalist No. 10: "From this view of the subject it may be concluded that a pure democracy, by which I mean a society consisting of a small number of citizens, who assemble and administer the government in person, can admit of no cure for the mischiefs of faction. ... Hence it is that such democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths."
Small group teams are successful becasue everyone has a voice, the only place "Democracy" works in governing is with teams of 3 to 5 individuals (4 is ideal).
Our Founding Fathers knew "Democracy" was fraud: In Federalist No. 14, Madison begs his fellow Citizens to reject it. "An intentional perversion of truth for the purpose of inducing another in reliance upon it to part with some valuable thing belonging to him or to surrender a legal right; a false representation of a matter of fact, whether by words or by conduct, by false or misleading allegations, or by concealment of that which should have been disclosed, which deceives and is intended to deceive another so that he shall act upon it to his legal injury." [Brainerd Dispatch Newspaper Co. v. Crow Wing County, 196 Minn. 194, 264 N.W. 779, 780.]
"Any kind of artifice employed by one person to deceive another." [Goldstein v. Equitable Life Assur. Soc. of U. S., 160 Misc. 364, 289 N.Y.S. 1064, 1067.]
"A generic term, embracing all multifarious means which human ingenuity can devise, and which are resorted to by one individual to get advantage over another by false suggestions or by suppression of truth, and includes all surprise, trick, cunning, dissembling, and any unfair way by which another is cheated." [Johnson v. McDonald, 170 Okl117, 39 P.2d 150.]
""Bad faith" and "fraud" are synonymous, and also synonyms of dishonesty, infidelity, faithlessness, perfidy, unfairness, etc." [Joiner V. Joiner, Tex.Civ.App., 87 S.W. 2d 903, 914, 915.]
The AGENCY and TRUST of Our REPUBLIC from Federalist Papers 167 pages
The Constitution's Article I Section 8 Clause 5 "coining" money is followed by "Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States" Clause 6, money made in imitation to make it look real; "not genuine;" as in "counterfeit dollar bills." (web definition) Further, Section 10, State Restrictions, the first Clause, States can not "make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts;" all of which requires "paper" money "securities" to have gold and silver "anchors" at the highest and lowest denominations of paper currency.
Our State Governments have powerful tools to take back the Federal Government when it takes over State Powers "The unlawful seizure and assumption of another’s [power or] position, office, or authority [without any right to do so]." Is the definition of"usurpation" from Black’s Law Dictionary®. Federalist Papers reveals this was our Founder's greatest fear of Congress. That’s why they put these three provisions in our Constitution. We just need state leaders who have the courage to fire the whole Congress and get our Republic and our money back.

"A rule of law contained in the Constitution prevails over any act, policy, or practice of government inconsistent with that Constitutional rule. But who properly has the power to interpret and apply the Constitution? The text of the Constitution simply does not say."
