What does Article 61 (Lawful Rebellion) stand for? You have Sovereignty, realize it, and use it.

From TPUC:

Lawful Rebellion.

Some one recently asked me the question; what is Lawful Rebellion?

Rebellion in itself has a number of different meanings and is in fact quite close to another word that seems to be on everyone’s lips; Revolution. Defined meaning of Rebellion;

  1. Refusal to accept some authority or code or convention.
  2. An act or show of defiance toward an authority or established government.

Defined meaning of Lawful;

  1. Being within the law; allowed by law: lawful methods of dissent. (The lawful refusal to conform to the authority that is unjust)

Under article 61 of Magna Carta 1215 (the founding document of our Constitution) we have a right to enter into lawful rebellion if we feel we are being governed unjustly. Contrary to common belief our Sovereign and her government are only there to govern us and not to rule us and this must be done within the constraint of our Common Law and the freedoms asserted to us by such Law, nothing can become law in this country if it falls outside of this simple constraint.

Article 61 shows quite clearly who really holds the power in this country, that being quite simply us the people; we have Sovereignty not any Parliament and nor can this be taken from us by any Parliament who claim to have taken the people’s Sovereignty. As defined above any act passed by a Parliament to remove the power the people possess, or to remove the power from the point of constraint we invested the power in, is invalid as it falls outside of the constraint laid down by Common/Constitutional Law.

This is a simple safeguard put in place to protect our freedoms under said law and to never allow such freedoms to be removed or diminished. So in reality any Act, Statute and subsequent law or legislation formed by these actions, that effects our freedoms asserted to us, is quite evidently unjust, invalid and most certainly illegal.

By invoking article 61 we are quite clearly stating that we feel we are being governed unjustly and after giving the head of state (Her Majesty) 40 day’s to correct this, if this is not corrected, then we can simply enter into lawful rebellion and we do this under the full protection of our Constitutional Law.

Lawful rebellion allows quite simply for the following recourse;

  1. Full refusal to pay any forms of Tax, Fines and any other forms of monies to support and/or benefit said unlawful governance of this country.
  2. Full refusal to abide by any Law, Legislation or Statutory Instrument invalidly put in place by said unlawful governance that is in breech of the Constitutional safeguard.
  3. To hinder in any way possible all actions of the treasonous government of this land, who have breeched the Constitutional safeguard; defined with no form of violence in anyway, just lawful hindrance under freedom asserted by Constitutional Law and Article 61.

Above are listed the three main ways we can as a people rely upon article 61 and what this allows for. The British people were given over 700 years ago a Law to use as there recourse when faced with either a Parliamentary dictatorship, or a Sovereign trying to rule by Divine Right, which amounts to the same thing. We have a right, and a birth right at that, to be governed properly under our birth right law and no other and certainly not by laws introduced on the pretence of being British Law, when in fact all laws passed since 1973 have been European laws in the guise of British law. We have a right to freedom within our true law and no Parliament can remove this for they were not present in its implementation nor did it need any Parliament, or any Parliament involvement, this was quite simply a deal struck between the people and a Sovereign, a deal which can never be broken.

The traitors that reside in the Parliament of this country only fear one thing and that quite simply is us the people and they know that they can never defend themselves, or defend their treasonous actions, lies and deceit against the power of the people, asserted by and given by, the founding document of our Constitution Magna Carta 1215. They realize, as many others do, that once the British public grasps the power of Magna Carta in both hands and start to use it in their defense; their game is quite simply up.

What does Magna Carta stand for?

In stands for freedom, that the people have Sovereignty that cannot be removed by anyone and it stands for the only real true rule of law; that no one, without exception, is above the law.

What does Article 61 (Lawful Rebellion) stand for? You have Sovereignty, realize it, and use it.

Wow, that's interesting.

I didn't have a clue about any of those things (although maybe I should have).

I suppose it's maybe less important to me than to others because I'm pissing off to the US eventually, but I know that my point of view is selfish and shortsighted - in the end, I don't want to see the UK go completely down the tubes either, any more than anyone else.

If there's ever a mass rebellion that invokes this article, then count me in.

Rob,

.....The mass rebellion has started ---- there would be more of the masses if they didn't keep pissing of to America and Australia etc etc .......

Sackerson said...

Got counsel's opinion on that, Obo?

Sackerson said...

... are the Rebellion Act and Convention Act (both 1795) still in force?

Tomrat said...

Obo,

"Full refusal to pay any forms of Tax, Fines and any other forms of monies to support and/or benefit said unlawful governance of this country."

Much as I love the sentiment I cant help but think this is nigh on impossible since the cretins in power have taken to taking our money before any of us can decide to give them it; I cannot inform my company to just "stop paying my income taxes" because I have an ethical issue with our guv'mint'.

Guess 2 and 3 are for me then.

I'd love to see a QC use this

@Sackerson: I'd head off to TPUC, IANAL, etc. ;o)

Nice idea Mr Noxio, but it ain't the law.

In recent years there have been numerous attempts to have Magna Carta and/or the Bill of Rights recognised by the courts as an overriding constitution. Sadly, each one has failed.

I have waffled-on elsewhere about the desirability of a constitution which recognises the central freedoms (free speech, fair trials etc) as inherent rights not rights granted by The State. But that is not the position at the moment (unlike in the US where the framing of the Constitution makes clear they are inherent).

You don't like it, I don't like it, but there's bugger-all that we can do. (Because there is bugger-all we can do I suspect the Archbish probably likes it.)

Well, apart from me and obnoxio, there's five of you who could help make a difference! EG- Five people in one town, tell five mates, who tell five mates, thats 30 people who stand up -- then the buggers will take notice!!
