The 13th Amendment was duly ratified and remains part of the "Constitution for The United States of America". It was dropped after the Civil War and not included in the corporate "Constitution of the United States of America". Note the difference in names, 'for' vs. 'of', and 'The' instead of 'the'. They are not mere semantics and make a huge difference. Why are the Reconstruction Acts still in force? Why has every President since Lincoln had to declare a state of emergency? If the United States is a corporation, who owns it? Who do its employees (congress) work for? Oh, and the Bar Attorneys and Judges know the game, the criminal fraud being perpetrated on the American people.
