The Legal System for Sovereign Rulers: Treatise #5 and the Constructive-Trust Mechanism That Explains Its Own Escape-Proofness

Beers's most rigorous treatise — and its most analytically self-defeating. The constructive-trust enforcement-mechanism analysis has real explanatory power for features of modern government, and it explains with structural precision why Beers's own remedial strategy cannot work: constructive trusts don't require trustee consent, equity authority doesn't depend on recognition, and contempt power exists precisely to handle non-recognition. Beers describes a system designed to be escape-proof, then proposes to escape it. Two miscitations recur (Maine read backwards on Austin; Slaughter-House dissent treated as majority); Kilbourn's Exchequer-fiction warning is real.
