Reconstruction Era

The reconstruction era was a troubling time, and the solution decided upon was just as troubling and extraordinary as the time in which it took place.

As incredible as our Bill of Rights were, they could not be extended to include the freed slaves, as due to the disposition of the southern states they would freely discriminate against the freed slaves as they had no political status, were not citizens of the state, and had no protection.

That is when the Federal Government passed the 14th amendment and gave the freed black slaves a political status and protection as Federal Citizens. To grant that protection however, the Federal Government needed exclusive jurisdiction outside of and over the states on persons under the 14th amendment. Thus, when the Federal Government went to incorporating the Bill of Rights into the Rights of the freed slaves, they only brought over the ones that allowed total control and protection over the U.S. Citizen against their state.

The protections left out are as follows:

• Third Amendment: Soldiers of the U.S. Military may freely quarter themselves within the homes of U.S. Citizens
• Fifth Amendment: You may be convicted of a crime WITHOUT a grand jury, which means that your conviction is determined not by your neighbors, but by the Federal Government.
• Sixth Amendment: In the same line as the 5th, the Federal Government is the final authority on your conviction.
• Seventh Amendment: No jury or common law, Federal Government has final authority.
• Ninth and Tenth Amendment: Not even mentioned, not incorporated, never will be. Any rights unspecified by default belong to the Federal Government, and the Constitution may be
  construed to deny rights retained by the people.
  ◦ Even those included are reduced to mere privileges, as exercising many of these rights requires a license
  

Common Law protections are critical, because the common law traditions do not require input from the Federal Government for your conviction unless it is in matters constitutionally granted to the control of the Federal Government.

On the other hand, a National, or the original state citizen, is only under the jurisdiction of their original state and retains all their natural rights and constitutional protections as defined by their state constitutions and national founding documents.

It would be accurate to describe a U.S. Citizen as a stripped-down version of a National when talking in terms of rights, as their rights come from the Federal Government and can be rejected at any time on a case by case basis. Typically however, these “rights” are sold as privileges in the form of licenses.

This is contrary to a National whose rights come from Nature and Nature’s God and are constitutionally protected. Since a Nationals Rights do not come from government they can’t be
lawfully rejected by government because government doesn’t grant them, but in fact the government gets its rights and powers from Nationals, also known as the peop
