Speaking of the law of the land, not every bill that is passed on by the legislature or congress is the law of the land. Read carefully the wording accompanying that phrase in the constitution. “This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; . . . ., shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.” (Article VI)
Only those laws made “in pursuance thereof . . . shall be the supreme Law of theLand;. . . ” The Constitution of the United States recognizes only those laws that protect and secure our natural rights. That recognize the first principles of the sovereignty of the people, the proper line of authority delegated to government and the the territorial features of legislation. “All legislation is prima facie territorial.’ American Banana Co. v. United Fruit Co., 213 U.S. 347, 357. These as well as others are common law principles.
