Constitution as Dead Contract

Where it surfaces

• No Treason

  Argues that the Constitution, as a contract among individuals, died with the original signers, and thus cannot bind later generations.

• I

  The chapter contends that the original signers could not bind future generations, and that the Constitution has no binding force on those who never consented.

• Chapter III: Treason, Allegiance, and the Constitution

  Implied critique: if consent is the foundation, then the Constitution's authority may lapse when original signers die.

• The Treason Swindle and the War for Slavery

  The Constitution is treated as a meaningless document, written by swindlers, and its written provisions are ignored in favor of fraudulent intentions.

• I

  The central argument: the Constitution died with its original signers and cannot bind the living.

• IV

  The chapter argues the Constitution never bound anyone because it was never signed or delivered, making it a dead letter as a contract.

• Chapter V

  The Constitution is portrayed as an unsigned, unwitnessed document that cannot legally bind anyone, akin to waste paper.

• VII

  The Constitution is argued to be no contract at all, binding nobody, because it was never signed by the people.

• II

  The Constitution is described as a paper drawn up eighty years ago, never signed by anybody, and having no obligation as a contract.

• XV

  The argument that the United States is not a legitimate corporation or nation implies that the constitutional compact is void, and thus oaths to it are meaningless.

• Appendix

  The Constitution is described as never having been a binding contract and now unfit to exist.

• Endnotes

  The endnotes argue that the Constitution was never signed as a binding contract by its drafters, and thus cannot be considered a valid contract.
