Most people do not know that the constitutions for the states which seceded causing the War of Northern Aggression are not legal except for Tennessee (they voted for the 14th Amendment after the war). While listening to SouthernPrepper1’s latest video today, I thought it would be a good opportunity to see how the people in North Carolina voted before the Federal government illegally nullified our Constitution and mandated their “rules” on us.
Constitution of North Carolina : December 18, 1776
VII. That all freemen, of the age of twenty-one years, who have been inhabitants of any one county within the State twelve months immediately preceding the day of any election and possessed of a freehold within the same county of fifty acres of land for six months next before, and at the day of election, shall be entitled to vote for a member of the Senate.
VIII. That all freemen of the age of twenty-one Years, who have been inhabitants of any one county within this State twelve months immediately preceding the day of any election, and shall have paid public taxes shall be entitled to vote for members of the House of Commons for the county in which he resides.
IX. That all persons possessed of a freehold in any town in this State, having a right of representation and also all freemen who have been inhabitants of any such town twelve months next before and at the day of election, and shall have paid public taxes, shall be entitled to vote for a member to represent such town in the House of Commons: — Provided always, That this section shall not entitle any inhabitant of such town to vote for members of the House of Commons, for the county in which he may reside, nor any freeholder in such county, who resides without or beyond the limits of such town, to vote for a member for said town.
And our state government knows:
And the icing on the cake for this Federally mandated “constitution” is shown in item 4:
This State shall ever remain a member of the American Union; the people thereof are part of the American nation; there is no right on the part of this State to secede; and all attempts, from whatever source or upon whatever pretext, to dissolve this Union or to sever this Nation, shall be resisted with the whole power of the State.

The powers in North Carolina know we are operating under an illegal constitution. The legal system also knows it as Mr. Ainsworth’s victories in court have shown. It might be a good place to define what a freeman actually means. I did not feel that I was free when I paid over 50% in taxes with no representation. I did not feel free as the federal government did not secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity as the preamble to the Constitution states.
Going Galt may mean different things to people. I have gone Galt but I still render unto Caesar because I have no choice. This means paying property taxes, personal property taxes, sales taxes and regulatory fees. Since I no longer collect a paycheck as part of Going Galt, I do not pay payroll taxes. I do not vote because my vote would not be counted properly AND I will not participate in this evil system which this government worships. More importantly, my contribution to building a better nation for all of our posterity through my work in engineering, architecture and data mining is nil. As in Atlas Shrugged, people who build literally everything walked away.
Eventually, this house of cards will collapse. And the people will pay a heavy price for this evil government. The longer this continues, the harder the fall. But to be blunt, this means more people will die.

A simple AMEN should suffice.
David -- -- Your readers may need to be reminded that you quoted from the 1776 Constitution, which was written and instituted nearly 13 years before the US Constitution was ratified by the States.
In the recommended reading in this site’s header, the link shows the proper year of 1776. As for the US Constitution:
Written in 1787, ratified in 1788, and in operation since 1789, the United States Constitution is the world’s longest surviving written charter of government.
Was, it is no longer.
Secession prohibited?
The way this is worded it seems the state cannot separate it self from “the American Union” no matter what. No matter if the Federal government completely rejects the Constitution? No matter if it trampled on the people’s God given rights? What if it surrenders our sovereignty to a world government? I believe the British empire held such a position concerning its Subjects in the colony of North Carolina.
If the Governor and legislature of North Carolina truly believe that there is no right for a people to separate themselves from tyranny, then they need to draft a letter of apology to King Charles and humbly seek reunification with the U.K. lest they be found to be hypocrites.
The governor was told by the Federal government that he was no longer the governor. The people had no say in the new Federal state constitution. Sorry to say but Georgia’s constitution was also in this overthrow.
This prohibition from freeing ourselves from tyranny was one of many conditions the Southern states had to agree on to be “allowed” back into the union.
Another condition was voting on the 14th amendment, the Southern states weren’t even part of their union yet we were forced to vote on this dreadful amendment as part of being allowed back into something we wanted out of!
Read “The South Was Right” by the Kennedy brothers, very eye opening for the Southron that was never taught true history.
Oh my gosh. I never knew any of this. Thank you so much for this education.
Thank John Ainsworth. He has been fighting for 30 years to expose the overthrow of the Southern States’ governments.
Yes. Oh my gosh. I am speechless.
this from watauga, ‘no matter who you vote for, the government still gets in’.
Puff, John Hood, what a dismissive narcissist. I was invited to sit in on the John Locke meetings back in 13’/14′ and nothing they said impressed me. The organization as a whole certainly had conservative values but the individuals in leadership wouldn’t accept anything beyond their education level, and that bar wasn’t set very high.
I attempted to bring up the very same issue, (Art 1, Sec 4/5) Secession Prohibited/Allegiance to the United States, yet such issues were not allowed as a topic for discussion.
Unless they wanted to address their version, any issue concerning the NC Constitution was immediately dismissed as nonsensical.
