LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT
Self Government
People should not shrink from public controversy or their inborn capacity to be law givers.
For people to judge lawful matters for themselves is the highest civic virtue.
We have a well-established right and provenance to self-govern.
Family Government
Each level of family government has its own role, function, jurisdiction, and are to assist the individual in his or her own self government.
Spiritual Government
God is the ultimate Law-Giver and Ruler. This is the Standard by which we self govern.
The eternal difference between right and wrong does not fluctuate, it is immutable.
Civil Government
Civil Government is 4th for a reason in that,.. it can generally not be trusted.
“Government is the worst instrument of evil the devil ever set his foot upon. If all men were angels, we would not need civil government.”
“What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly. It is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods, and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated.” ― Thomas Paine
Government including people under its control are cowardly, corrupt, don't respect the social contract, the law, or the constitution.
We the People need to sit in judgement and render an enforceable verdict on their crimes. We cannot shrink from taking such a necessary step.
The Constitution of Canada is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the People to restrain the government.
A Prince, by disallowing Acts of this salutary nature, from being the father of his people, degenerated into a Tyrant forfeits all rights to his subjects' obedience.
So, guard with jealous attention the public liberty,.. suspect everyone who approaches that jewel.
Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined.
We are not weak, if we make a proper use of those means which the God of Nature has placed in our power,.. the battle sir, is not to the strong alone, it is to the vigilant, the active, and the brave.
In a country, Law typically exhaustively covers the complete system of Law [The Constitution of Canada].
In a common law country with legislative practices in the English tradition [Parliament] modify the existing common law only to the extent of its express or implicit provision, but otherwise leaves the common law intact.
A code or act [must find its source in Law], is developed and used administratively for simplicity, and replaces the common law in a particular area, leaving the common law inoperative unless and until the code is repealed.
In a case of slightly different usage, in Canada and other common law countries that have adopted similar legislative practices, a code of law is a standing body of statute law on a particular area, which is added to, subtracted from, or otherwise modified by individual legislative enactments.
All Acts must find their source in Law [The Constitution of Canada].
