Lord William Blackstone says:
"For as God, when he created matter, and endued it with
a principle of mobility, established certain rules for the
perpetual direction of that motion; so, when he created
man, and endued him with freewill to conduct himself in
all parts of life, he laid down certain immutable laws of
human nature, whereby that freewill is in some degree
regulated and restrained, and gave him also the faculty
of reason to discover the purport of those laws. * * * This
law of nature, being coeval with mankind and dictated by
God himself, is of course superior in obligation to any
other. - It is binding over all the globe in all countries,
and at all times; no human laws are of any validity, if
contrary to this: and such of them as are valid derive
all their force, and all their authority, mediately or
immediately, from this original." William Blackstone,
Esq., from Commentaries on the Laws of England, Vol. 1,
Introduction, Sect. 2.
Did you know that the Bible is the foundation upon which
rests all of English Common Law? Upon the Bible,
specifically the Law of Moses tempered by understandings
found in the Gospels and Paul's letters, upon the Bible
hangs English Common Law, Magna Carta, and Lord Alfred's
Dooms, the sources for all liberty minded remedies in law
throughout past times of tyrrany. Regardless of one's
religious beliefs, I've found it to be an amazing twist found
in history that is not often taught, that the freest nations
on Earth based their legal systems on Bible canon law.
Certainly, anyone who views their liberties as in-born rights
ought to research the history of past successful liberty
movements and I urge everyone to do their own due diligence.
Our liberty loving culture is rare in light of history and
something to be treasured, preserved, and passed on to our
children, don't you think?
Going back to Lord Blackstone, when he says, "...he laid down
certain immutable laws of human nature...", Blackstone is
referring to the laws found in Genesis to Deuteronomy. When
he says, "...no human laws are of any validity, if contrary to this...",
the human laws Blackstone is referring to are Acts of Pariament
(or Congress, or any body politic), anything that attempts to
repudiate Genesis to Deuteronomy is not valid (unless you consent
of course - he doesn't mention that, but in law if you consent, then
you've just ratified a contract - offer, acceptance, over time, with
consideration).
