I highly recommend you read first the Section on “Return of Rebellious States to the Union.” It will become quite clear that Congress was not going to allow the Southern States to have members of Congress attempt to do peacefully in Congress claiming State rights what they did not accomplish in the Civil War (page 231 et seq.) And it was quite clear that the Southern States would not allowed to enter the Union of States and have their original Constitutions unaltered (page 234).

The conclusive evidence of the CORE CONSTITUTIONAL change is very clearly shown by the 1870 Constitution of Virginia. In the Bill of Rights of the 1870 Constitution of Virginia, the “laws of Congress” are the supreme law of the land under the War Powers and this is in direct opposition to the Constitution of the United States in the Supremacy Clause in Article VI where the “laws of the United States” are the supreme law of the land in Peace. This is accomplished by and through Article IV section 3 of the Constitution of the United States to provide all of the needful rules and regulations for territories and possessions. Under the laws of war and belligerent law of nations, the Southern States were nothing more than possessions of the United States to do with as they wanted with the Conqueror using belligerent rights against all persons residing in the belligerent districts under the laws of war and belligerent law of nations (page 238 et seq.).

Virginia was brought in as a reconstructed State under a provisional military government, and not on an equal footing with the original States with State rights. Has Virginia ever reentered the Union of States on an equal footing with the original States since 1870. And the answer is no! Just for starters, all of the Southern States would have to have a constitutional convention and be admitted into the Union of States on an equal footing with the original States and also as one of the United States of America. There is your conclusive evidence of the laws of Congress being the supreme law of the land as of yet today. Of course the other constitutions had been altered before, were being altered during the Civil War, or were altered thereafter to reconstruct the Union of States in a Constitution in PEACE to a Constitution under the WAR POWERS with no restraint on the President of the United States and on Congress under the laws of Congress as provisional military governments.

Under Article IV section 3, in the territories and possessions, Congress operates to enact laws under the National government and also Congress acts as the state legislature. This is what is known as vinculum juris [legal relations], being the “bond of law”, [See Clay v. Independent School District No. 1 of Tulsa County, 935 P.2d 294 (1997)] being in reality the Roman Civil Law. This Roman Civil Law is used today by “creating rights against the United States” to enslave the people of this country by and through the use of the Social Security number.

The adjudged decisions by the Supreme Court of the United States clearly state that it is the “duty of the courts to follow the decision of the political power of the government.” (page 243) Therefore, so as long as the people register to vote as a “citizen of the United States”, nothing will ever change, because the people have waived unknowingly their sovereign status to support the political power of the provisional military governments, to which the courts are bound to follow. See The Amy Warwick, 67 U.S. 635 (1862).
