Common Law Handbook by National Liberty Alliance

ALL MEN DECIDE whether they want to 

participate in the institutions of men or not. The 

United States Supreme Court confirmed this 

when they said: “…every man is independent 

of all laws, except those prescribed by nature. 

He is not bound by any institutions formed by 

his fellowman without his consent.” (Cruden v. 

Neale, 2 N.C. 338 May Term, 1796

Our U.S. Constitution only authorizes 

“common law courts,” also known as “courts of 

record.” A court of record removes the power 

of the Judge to make a ruling; his role is that 

of the “administrator” of the court. The final 

decision maker is the “tribunal,” who is either 

the “sovereign plaintiff ” or a “jury.” Remember, 

the servant cannot rule over the master; can the 

clay rule over the potter?

“…Every man is independent of all laws, 

except those prescribed by nature. He is not

bound by any institutions formed by his fellow-

man without his consent.” (Cruden v. Neale)

Herein is Liberty: if “YOU” do not give the 

court consent, they have no “JURISDICTION” 

over “YOU”!

Under US Codes 42 and 18, when you are 

detained—without your consent—for violating 

a statute, you have just been kidnapped; and if 

the Judge sets a bail, he just set a ransom; and 

when the prosecutor confirms the charges, they 

are all part of a conspiracy, and “YOU” can put 

them in jail and sue them for damages. It’s all 

about Consent and Jurisdiction.

THE REAL LAW

The common law is the real law, the Supreme 

Law of the land; the code, rules, regulations, 

policy and statutes are not the law.

Legislated statutes enforced upon the people 

in the name of law is a fraud. It has no authority 

and is without mercy. Justice without mercy is 

Godless, and therefore repugnant to our United 

States Constitution. Lawmakers were given 

authority by the people to legislate codes, rules, 

regulations, and statutes which are policies, 

procedures, and “law” to control the behavior 

of bureaucrats, elected and appointed officials, 

municipalities and agencies, but were never 

given authority to control the behavior of the 

people—as we read in a US Supreme court 

decision: “All laws, rules and practices which 

are repugnant to the Constitution are null and 

void.” (Marbury -v-Madison, 5th US (2 Cranch) 

137, 174, 176, 1803)

Legislators simply do not have the author-

ity to rule make. “Where rights secured by the

Constitution are involved, there can be no rule 

making or legislation which would abrogate 

them.” (Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 491)

RIGHTS AND SOVEREIGNTY

Only people are sovereign and have rights. 

Bureaucrats, in their capacity, are not sovereign 

and have no rights. They have authority given

by the people and are subject to the statutes. 

“The state cannot diminish rights of the people.” 

(Hurtado v. People of the State of California, 110 U.S. 516) 

 “The assertion of federal rights [Bill of 

Rights], when plainly and reasonably made, 

is not to be defeated under the name of local 

practice.” (Davis v. Wechsler, 263 US 22, 24)

“Where rights secured by the Constitution 

are involved, there can be no rule making 

or legislation which would abrogate them.” 

(Miranda v. Arizona, 384 US 436, 491)

“There can be no sanction or penalty 

imposed upon one because of this exercise of 

constitutional rights.” (Sherer v. Cullen, 481 F 946)
