Part 33 – UK: UK in the 1890’s – clear sailing
With the quivering “bravery” of Monty Pythons Brave Sir Robin, we plunge our hands under the ice.
We find the common law, with thousands of historical decisions, every historical United Kingdom law document, the ancient wisdom of Aquinas; the ancient wisdom of Aristotle; the wisdom of the Old Testament; the New Testament.
Part 31 – UK: “Written” Constitutions are tips of massive Icebergs
Many people in the UK believe they do not have a constitution.
That is not true.
They have what is called an “unwritten constitution” and the “unwritten” Constitution of the UK has continued to evolve from its common law roots.
Part 29 – UK: Australia is not the UK
Part 27 – USA : The “Anti-Federalists”
The three saboteurs, the “Anti-Federalists” demanded that the implied Inalienable Natural Rights be reduced to writing in an “express” amendment to the American Constitution.
It was easy for the “Anti-Federalists”. They held a proverbial “gun to the heads” of the other Founding Fathers.
Part 25 - USA : Brilliant Founding Fathers
VIP “Golden Rule” vital to understand
For present purposes, let us just assume that if it is written down into a Constitution or for example in the Declaration of Independence, it ceases to be implied.
By its inclusion in the constitutional document, the Inalienable Natural Rights become “express” and “complete” and “defined”.
As it is “express” rather than “implied” it is considered “exhaustive”, and excludes all other things.
