Maxims of Law

How many of these 20 Maxims of Law have just been violated by the ‘President’, or are expected to be violated by the people, if we comply?

From a list of nearly 1200 maxims here, following are just the first few that stand out relevant to the mandatory edict concerning the jabs made by Biden on September 9, 2021.

The most important thing to remember, in our Constitutional Republic form of government, those elected into positions are ‘servants’.

NOT leaders.

They are lowered in status in the hierarchy:

They cannot do what we cannot do. We only grant them authority to do things for we the people on a larger and broader scale, so we can continue on about our lives. The two main responsibilities are to protect the people from intentional harm and wrong doing, and punishing those that do.

You conscience and body are the most sacred of all your property. NO ONE can trespass there without your permission!

I cannot force you to put anything into your body against your will.

NEITHER can our servants!

The Declaration states … deriving their JUST powers from the consent of the governed.

NOT UNJUST POWERS!
