We the People of the United States,
in Order to form a more perfect Union,
establish Justice,
insure domestic Tranquility,
provide for the common defence,
promote the general Welfare,
and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity,
do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
There are three notable “Effects of Usurpation” that undermine our system of checks and balances and our more perfect Union:
I. The Legislative check and balance is Article 1, Section 2, Clause 3: “The number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand.”
The current Congress should have over 10,000 Representatives and not 435.
No check, no balance.
II. The Executive check and balance is Article 2, Section 2: “Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in Congress.”
In 2013, under constitutional representation, there should be over 10,000 Electors for We the People in the Electoral College.
No check, no balance.
III. The Judicial check and balance is twofold: a constitutional House of Representatives (districts of 30,000) and Amendment 7, which states: “In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars [$20], the right to trial by jury shall be preserved …”
No check, no balance.
A constitutional United States, unlike our current situation, would be a representative republic based on federal districts of 30,000 people; that is the American way. The founders, specifically George Washington and James Madison, put the number 30,000 in our Constitution, and 50 states ratified it. In truth, Americans are Americans by the power of constitutional words.
Also, building a constitutional Congress based on federal districts of 30,000 people would correct one of usurpations most embarrassing facts: women being 51% of We the People and 18% representation in Congress.
The power of usurpation thrives on the lack of checks and balances. As We the People embrace our constitutional heritage (which appears to be happening), we might find it to be a great place to gather – you know – “in Order to form a more perfect Union.”
