Rights, Duties, and Citizenship

For every duty, there is a corresponding right, and every right a corresponding duty. A right cannot exist without a duty, and a duty canonot exist without a right. This principle is made clear in the opposite sense in U.S. v. Cruikshank, where the Federal Government cannot secure its citizens rights or privileges which are not expressly or by implication under its jurisdiction.

If they can’t secure rights or privileges, they can’t impose duties or  obligations, and the individual in question is outside of their jurisdiction and fuedal courts.
