Slaughter-House
The Beers Corpus at Its Foundation
Byron Beers's eleven-treatise corpus at survey level: the diagnostic framework — that the modern American legal system operates as a commercial / lex-mercatoria architecture — is substantially supported by real cases, real statutes, and real scholarly sources. The proposed remedy ('My Law' based on natural and divine law) is uniformly foreclosed by every court that has encountered it. The diagnosis validates more than the remedy ever could.
The movement claim that a parallel narrower citizenship category exists alongside 14A citizenship — one that ordinary Americans could occupy while declining to be 'citizens of the United States' for IRC purposes — is foreclosed
The movement looks for a parallel narrower citizenship — one that ordinary Americans could occupy while declining 'citizen of the United States' status for tax purposes. The Fourteenth Amendment and the IRC are operative law: there is no such parallel category. The textual observation about layered statutory citizenship is real; the doctrinal conclusion built on it is foreclosed.
Citizenship and Naturalization: The Constitutional Structure
The constitutional structure of citizenship — Article I naturalization power, Fourteenth Amendment birthright citizenship, the dual federal/state structure, and the layered statutory citizenship of corporations under 28 U.S.C. § 1332(c). The vocabulary the project's findings rely on, defined once and cross-referenced from the per-finding work.
