Comment: Actually this is not true subject to proof

It all begins and ends with the 4 organic laws of the united states of America. ref.

The Declaration of Independence 1776 and Articles of Confederation 1777 assure us of English Common law which BTW is unwritten law. Up until this point in America history there was no federally owned land in the original 13 states of which to make written law, the federal government very limited.

In 1783 The Northwest Territory this land by new proprietary ownership of the United States of America, the real federal government, by virtue of the Treaty of Paris 1783 and under the temporary government for this new land to become Federal states this territory owned by and under the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States of America organic law #3 The Northwest Ordinance 13 July 1787 became written law enacted by the Confederate Congress otherwise known as the United States in Congress, assembled and this law was written during the secret Constitutional Convention weeks, this is the law that introduced federal territory and began the duping of mostly all American and slowly did away with the unwritten law by corrupting this unwritten law with written statute law. This written law was made permanent by "this Constitution for the United States of America" September 17 1787. NOTICE the closeness in dates to the Northwest Ordinance 1787 and Constitution of 1787. The perpetual union of the Articles of Confederation never went away it was just ignored by the people and all the fuss was and has been for over 220 years is the Constitution of 1787, this union of Federal states, this union of Federal states has created every state constitution and incubates proliferates all political environment. This is all based on the concept of the new federal united states which is simply the territory owned by and under the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States of America. This then begs the question are there 50 states of the United States of America, that make up this proprietary power, that are Each state retains its sovereignty, freedom and independence, and every Power, Jurisdiction and right, which is not by this confederation expressly delegated to the United States, in Congress assembled? And are there 56 Federal States (Obama thinks there are 57) that are not free and have no sovereignty because it is territory owned by and under the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States of America? the answer to both questions is yes. So everyone who is interested in this freedom quest must answer where do you want fit in.

Keep in mind no one and I mean no one since "The Constitution of the United States" inception that is a legislator politician etc has ever bound them self to the actual document labeled "The Constitution of the United States" This is why there is no English Common Law anymore the government employees have shrink wrapped away from ignorant United States citizens.
