Discussion on the Model Constitution (21st in Series): Direct Imperial Government, Monarchy, Funding, royalism

Why and How I am a Committed Radical (21st in Series): Direct Imperial Government, Monarchy, Funds & Royalism
by Frank Wynerth Summers III on Saturday, May 5, 2012 at 10:28pm ·
This Note will be about the first two subsections of the First Section of Article Six in my Model Constitution. For those who want to see the Model Constitution I propose as a whole you can go to the following link:

https://franksummers3ba.wordpress.com/major-themes-of-this-blog/new-model-constitution-of-the-united-states-of-america

This note deals with a series of constitutional principles which are not well known or very relevant in America today. In this Constitution these principles will be very important and so they are discussed here. These principles relate to the financing of the Imperial element and the power mediated and shaped by the whole Direct Imperial Government of the Emperor and his House over royalism itself within the Federal American Empire of the United States. There are few things more useless than a model statute or constitution without understanding of its function and application. Where large and significant changes are proposed it is even more important the writer explain how various elements of the system will work together to solve existing problems. Somehow, the readers must one or more of these elements which may be entirely unfamiliar will work together in comprehensible structures to solve real problems. That is more or less what these notes aspire to communicate.

The Emperor will be a figure, post, status and office very distinct from any currently existing in the United States in this Second Union. It is subject to a number of constitutional principles not relevant currently. This revolutionary change which embodies the radical transformation which will occur when this Model Constitution is ratified and put into effect will affect the economy, fiscal policy and finances of the regime. These measures will take time to fully operate but will restore the United States of America to a secure financial footing in all probability over time. Among the measures which will create greater financial security and fiscal stability are the following:

1.This Constitution restores a metal standard at the basis of the money of the polity.
2.The First Executive Vice President shall have a line item veto to slim down the budget.
3. The Imperial Wellness Agency will set a floor against some of the growth of medical costs.
4. The reform of Social Security and related programs will bring those emtitlements under a modicum of control.
5. The Possessions and the Territories with their set-asides and constituional repsonsibilities will create a culture of responsibility and bring resources to bear while the government will denounce programs to bring about racial equality.
6. The Family Associations, Domestic Regimes, Bureau of Women’s Affairs and ministries and offices of the Imperial
Mistress of Ceremonies as well as the government denouncing goals of sexual equlaity will create a healthier environment which is more economically sustainable.
7.There will be greater accountability in certain areas of government which will show over time.
8. The idea of social obligation with wealth will be supported by the Honor Code, laws related to Manors and Ordinary Nobility as well as the institutions already mentioned and in time this will erode the most disfunctional kinds of free market behavior.
9. The goal of wealth within the constraints of society will be recognized as valid in a more official way and its infrastructure will be more supported and in time this will erode the most disfunctional kinds of economic levelling
10. Large programs will be sustained which push society toward growth in a more complete way and assure some benefit for all sectors of society and most individuals.
As these programs set in it eill also be the case that communities, famlies and other institutions will be supported in enriching life and increasing meaning in ways that are only partly measurable in economic terms. This will be part of the reshaping so that while there is upward and downward social mobility people will feel that they own a place in this society and certain qualities about themselves. Government may not shrink in absolute terms but it will be different andf in that different contect it will matter that “the king shall live on his own” is a constitutional principle. The Emperor will be an imortant figure if this stage is reached and when that occure it will matter to both sides that the regular budget does not go to the DIG.

The entire discourse much of our political spectrum will be truly rearranged should this Model Constitution be ratified and become the law of the land. The Empire will operate in the Constitutional Jurisdictions as well as in the Direct Imperial Government Jurisdiction and in many cases it will assist in the social burden and humanitarian enterprises that are well linked to taxation. Yet it will do so out of a budget which is fixed and not legislated and is tiny and by being entitled to make a profit on parts of enterprises which are also philanthropic. Thus the law and constitution will provide that those doing forced labor will receive a modest compensation as well as the intrinsic skills and experience. But still the empire will be able to employ cheap forced labor to bolster its legitimate enterprises in the work of ilicit migrants and convicted criminals. These agencies will be dicussed later. Some of their earning will go to their own families and to their victims and thus reach the neediest with income. The Enperor and his House would also draw some funds from this venture.

Every manorial fiefdom or fief-manor in the Direct Imperial Government Jurisdiction will have an almonry giving charity to the outside poor, a day laborer’s program for low paying work to those unemployed and able to reach them. These will not operate all the time but each manor will be required to publich them. Each manor will be required to offer a rental infrastucture of mills, offices and marketing, common pasture, a grand compost facility and other benefits to Serf-Pettyholders as well as a school, a clinic, a place of worship and a militia stronghold under their Seigneurial guard. The Serf-Pettyholders will pay into a placement fund for their children not able to have a pettyhold so long as one member of the family takes the pettyhold the others may appeal to the DIG to be released. The Seigneur shall pay duties and taxes to the Emperor and the DIG and shall have the duty top uphold ecological laws and preserve both a hunting and gathering preserve and a pure preserve for all that is not human in the region where such a fief-manor is located. These are the rules for the most common agricultural type but a grand seigneur who has two of more successful manor fiefdoms could apply for a license to entail a nonagricultural fief-manor in the same grand estate with the agricultural ones and the rules would be somewhat different for the urban manufaturing or other fief-manors. In return for all of this social burden what are the distinct advantages which a Seigeur would have? They include having a role in policing and the Courts of first instance. While the Seigeur is subject to DIG review and investigation he or she will have the chance to get their point of view into the legal record first in almost every case. The are entitled to the minimal rents on some and significant use fees on other assets and products of the manor. They are entitled to free labor of the serf-pettyholders on their own lands and infrastructure during certain seasons and to their service in the militia or if paid then in the Manor Guard. They have limited immunity which is till substanitial in tortious and criminal matters and mitigated punishment when not immune in domestic matters on the fief-manor. Serf-Pettyholders may vote freely in the Manor Council subject to Imperial inspection but they must abstain or vote as directed by their Seigneur in DIG elections. The released offspring of all such Serf-Pettyholders shal be US citizens under the laws and constitution relating to citizens. However, it shall be in the power of Congress to set their rights as citizens as regards elections, military service ans some procedural matters related to the Union. The Emperor and his House themselves wil be seigneurs and they are expected to support themselves largely on seigneurial income. Most Serf-Pettyholders of the founding are expected to be volunteeers willing to find a life more stable and connected at the cost of some mobilities and fredoms — it reamains to be seen how hard such slots will be to fill.

So with the network of Seigneurial services, care for working prisoners and distribution of their income, waste processing business, a transit and drugs related enterprise dealing with social problems, the network of religious entities overseen by the Imperial Chaplain, the Imperial Wellness Agency and their military the Emperor and Empire will seek to join and in a sense to compete with the Union in providing social services. In this there will be law and reporting but they are allowed to mix in tax funds, guild tributes and all sorts of money into the networks that provide such services. However, all this will be done to the degree it is done without any special taxes. The society as a whole will know from this Constitutiion how much everthing costs to kee this Emperor and House and that shall be the price. Thus “The King shall live on his own”. He may be fabulously wealthy or quite poor and it is not the concern of Congress.

This is an old system common across much of Europe a t one time as illustrated here:

http://www.questia.com/googleScholar.qst?docId=5000205493
At heart most Englishmen still believed that in peacetime the king should live on his own revenues. In fact, the desperate condition of the crown’s finances required urgent measures, but far from receiving any praise for his efforts, Salisbury after his death was described as:
Oppression’s praiser,
Taxation’s raiser…
The country’s scourger,
The cities’ cheater
Of many a shilling.
Between 1603 and 1612 only three years were free of taxation, and a particularly popular, mock-pastoral libel began:
Here lies Hobbinall,
our shepherd while here
That once in a year,
our fleeces did sheer.

If the Emperor and Empire were to grow richer and more influential over time the Constitution still preseves most advantages to the Union. Yet there could be more advancement of this segment than I foresee easily. What might some good results be?
Think of how among so relatively few holidays in this countries list of major national holidays we still celebrate Columbus Day. Banks and Post Offices are closed here in the United States. We do all that to observe a holiday that commemorates the man who in 1492 sailed the ocean blue.

The memory of this man and his ideals is not a hard thing for me to honor. He did help to bring about the end of many small and largish worlds and partial worlds of men but he also represented powers less destructive, corrupt an evil than some on the stage. In addition the man’s sense of adventure, exploration, faith and courage are admirable.
There is a great deal that happened in the years leading up to and following hard upon 1492. First of all there was the recovery of the Classical and other Greek Culture from the Muslim States in Spain which led to the Renaissance. Today we use Arabic numerals and there certainly is much that Arabic and Islamic culture can claim to have contributed. However the destruction of Hellenic Christian culture in Egypt and all of North Africa, in what is now Turkey, Lebanon, Israel, Syria, Armenia and farther afield mostly was a transfer of a far superior civilization to the inferior and backwards Arab Muslim culture. The West was triply backward. Rome had never equalled the sophistication of the Alexandria, Jerusalem and Athens in their different ways. It surpassed them in some things but not overall socio-technical development. Then the relatively narrow and militaristic Romans were conquered by the more narrow and militaristic German Barbarians. The Greek influence from the East had helped to lead towards a new civilization untill the Muslims cut off those well springs as they destroyed what was a left of the great Greek civilization of the Eastern Roman Empire based in Byzantium. The conquest of the Muslims in Spain brought this scholarship back to the shriveled remnant of Christendom we would come to call Christendom. Many Jews converted because those who would not convert were required to leave Spain. There was a Spanish Christian King with a Jewish mistress who opposed forced conversions and was known as Pedro the Cruel and he was defeated at about this time by another Spanish Christian King. The good of this forcing of a single Spanish identity in formal religion that these Jews did refresh Christianity in the West from its Hebrew roots. The tragedy is the suffering of the nonconverting Sephardic Jews. The experience of Spanish Moslems mirrored that of Spanish Jews to some degree. The possibly Italo-Spanish Columbus of mixed Jewish and Latin descent came from all this to bring forth a new world off opportunity. The modern world is probably much better than it would have been had he not succeeded. Had he not succeeded then a much more violent, paranoid and desperate Muslim or Christian civilization would have succeeded decades later. Latin America remains a mix of Aboriginal American cultures and Latin Cultures as well as a genetic mix. Without Columbus and his ideals there would have been a more destructive approach in a few years I feel certain. I am not uncritical of his legacy but I still believe in civilization and he was a man committed to civilization. Never was mere selfishness, cowardice nor greed enough to shape his life. He was an imperfect man struggling to do good in an imperfect world. He sometimes struggled to do things less clearly good. However, he never fell away from seeking after true greatness.

We need people of the caliber of Columbus today. When we celebrate Columbus we are celebrating his patroness in official planning and licenses and his financier Queen Isabela. She did a great deal to make the unimaiginable potnetial of a practical dreamer real in ways that royals with extra cash do more often and more effectively than almost anyone migh imagine these days and which few other players in society ever do. The Empreror, EMpress and others will be able to think of the whole interest of socirty when they have avialble wealth to invest and be able to join this common good to their own interests. We need quests pursued to spectacular results. However, we have to have the Isabellas who will relive the legacy of the Spanish Queen who supported him…

This Constitution is definitely an attack on money as the sole standard joining all excellence in our society and yet I believe our money system will be stronger. The Spartans were vastly more radical in theianti-money views than thios constitution but there are connections. It is important to remember that Sparta was never very poor nor a fiscal disaster. Oddly enough their greatest trouble were military ones although they were the most learned warriors and best trained fighting men in the west at that time. Let us remeber their view that money isn’t everything before we leave this topic.

There will be some inconvenience if this is done. But money flows too conveniently now. Let us look at the opposite Spartan extreme for a reference:
The link to this site is: http://www.laconia.org/sparti_h_1.htm
“One reason why wealth was less desirable lay in the fact that Sparta’s authorities refused to adopt the system of making silver into coins in the manner of other Greek cities. Instead she continued to use unwieldy iron bars for money. The historian Xenophon commented that ‘ a thousand drachmas’ worth would fill a wagon’.Spartans were also forbidden to travel abroad , except on state instructions, and foreigners were not admitted to Sparta without supplying a very good reason for doing so . This was to prevent the citizens from being corrupted by foreign ideas and morality. “

I am not advocating any of that behavior but it was a society with a monetary policy that worked while many have failed with a failed policy. I do not advocate the Spartan approach or the very different return to the gold standard. However, some do advocate it today. “There is no reason, technically or economically, why the world today, even with its countless wide-ranging and complex commercial transactions, could not return to the gold standard and operate with gold money. The major obstacle is ideological.” See the link: http://www.thefreemanonline.org/featured/how-to-return-to-the-gold-standard/#

I do believe the nuanced monetary policy I advocate is metalic but modern and will help. There must be a hard enough moeny for us to be just abroad and for the slower money flow of large sections of the Empire proper to interact with that of the faster parts of the economy in a fair way,

So that is what has gotten talked about here. Below, find the text of this notes passage from the Model Constitution.

**** ***** ***** ***** ****** ******* ****** ****** *****
Subsection Three: Funding and Treasury
The funding of the Royalist section shall not be subject in large part to the ordinary legislative process. The Operating Treasury of the approximate dozen major agencies of the Imperial Bureaucracy would receive certain fixed funds by Constitutional prerogative:
1. One half of one percent of all revenues collected by the Federal government during each year would be given to this Operating Treasury.
2. A fourth of any and all taxes collected in the Direct Imperial Government lands would be evenly divided between the Imperial House Trust and the Operating Treasury prior to any other claims upon them.
3. All those passing through the entries to the United States in the Royal Fiat Zone would pay a fee and all freight would pay an entry tariff to the Imperial Operating Treasury and the Imperial House Trust. A formula for these fees would be set permanently in the constitution. The Emperor would have the right and prerogative to make use of the labor of apprehended illegal aliens and to maintain an office of Liaison with Canada and one with Mexico solely to operate this program in a state of transparency. The Emperor would have no obligation to arrest or detain anyone and the US Border Patrol would operate on the interior line of the Fiat Zone as on an international border enforcing US laws of immigration. These aliens detained by the Emperor would be paid, fed and housed but paid less than other American workers for Imperial projects especially in the border’s Royal Fiat Zone. There would be an escalating system of arrests. One week of labor on first arrest, six weeks on second arrest, twelve weeks on third arrest, one year on fourth arrest and five years followed by legal acceptance as permanent resident aliens on fifth arrest. All aliens would be released with some portion of the profit they had earned when released, a portion equal to half the amount the alien received would go to the Transparency and Resettlement program of either Canada or Mexico or be held in trust until such date as they should agree to set up such an office and program. Labor would be forced but consistent with the health, capacities, skills, willingness and interests of the aliens. The regular US border beyond this Royal Fiat zone would operate on separate and parallel rules.
3. The Emperor and Empress would each have an ex-officio Estate and Manor and the Peer-Electors would each have certain covenants to entertain and support some aspect of the Household from their estates. The legal principle regarding these operations should be “The King shall live on his own”.
4. The Imperial Operating Treasury shall receive one tenth of the revenues produced from all foreclosures in the United States but shall at the end of three years of earning conservative interest remit half of these funds to pay off the national debt. This shall be both a tax and a penalty on foreclosing institutions. The Imperial Operating Treasury shall also remit one tenth of these funds to the General Treasury of the Direct Imperial Government.
5. The Imperial Services shall include a Stock Market Assurance Agency. Every share of stock traded in the United States will be charged a one percent SMAA premium. A third of each premium will go into a General Recovery Fund. Most of the rest will go into accounts attached to the names and credit of various players in a transaction according to rules set out. Each stock exchange in the United States will also pay one half of one mil of its gross gross volume of trade to the SMAA as an annual premium. When a company fall into nearly nill value its shareholders, employees and creditors will be entered into an SMAA Company Holding Venture. The SMAA will evaluate which of a schedule of options is best from partial making whole of all, to a minimal settlement and dissolution of all interests and to a rehabilitation of the company. The Imperial operating Treasury will receive one percent of all revenues collected by the SMAA as an operating fee.
6. By a set of laws set out in the Constitution the Emperor shall have a right to profit from anything left to waste and ruin in the United States.
7. Every person voting in a national election would pay a nickel to the Emperor each time the voter exercised this right.
8. The Emperor shall have fees and excises associated with titles from which he may derive incomes.
9. The Imperial Commerce Agency of the Imperial Services would be set up to pay taxes on activities of the Emperor and House in the free and private sectors of the economy. Both parties may engage in such activities and profit from them but when they do they can sue and be sued through this Agency within limits of protection established in law and in this Constitution.
10. Should any new lands be added to the sovereign holdings are other true domains of the Federal American Empire of the United States then no less than one mil of these lands in total acreage and one percent of all public lands shall go to the Emperor and all of these lands will be in the Direct Imperial Government Jurisdiction. One fourth of these lands ceded to the Emperor shall be be Fiat Zones which are his but under his most direct Executive powers and privileges as a the Executive for Direct Imperial Government and subject to administration as government lands. The second Fourth of these lands will be domestic regimes set up in autonomous fief-manors with their own titles but linked ex-officio to the Emperor as Emperor and to the Empress and such other titltes as there may be sufficient lands to afford. The third Fourth shall be bestowed by the Emperor with advice and consent of the Direct Imperial Government on new Vassals of the newly acquired lands. The last Fourth shall first be divided into estates with Baronial class tittles entailed which shall be tied to the true personal line of person who is Emperor not as Emperor in his case or in all other cases as a new baronial entailed estate under the Direct Imperial Government Code. Once set up these manors will go first to the Emperor, second to the Empress, third to the Imperial Mistress of Ceremonies, fourth to a seeded Heir and fifth to a Harem Consort and sixth to a member of the House or close relative of the King who is neither Empress, Mistress of Ceremonies, Seeded Heir nor Harem Consort. In the fourth, fifth and sixth places in this cycle the recipient shall be determined by whim of the EMperor within the limits described. The six element cycle shall be repeated until all the baronial estates are distributed.

Subsection Four: Crown and Center of all Royalism in the Empire
Provision One: Change of Style in Constitutional Jurisdictions
1.The GRIHHA must by a majority simple of a normal quorum reccommend a Constitutional Jurisdictions change to a fully royalist regime rather than a nearly republican regime in a royalist system and then the Emperor must approve it before it can go into effect. Then the Congress may submit a bill of Concerns to the Jurisdiction and they may respond and if they are not agreed to then the Congress may appeal them to the Emperor and veto the change for one year. The Emperor may make two ammendments analagous to the second class of Federal Ammendments from the Bill recommended and they shall become law by fiat of transition.
2. The DIG must recommend and the Emperor must approve a transition of a Constitutional Jurisdiction from an internal royalist regime to a republican regime. The GRIHHA must appove this and either the Emperor or EMpress may veto such approval pending both one year’s delay and a two-third majority override.
3. Royalty not in the Imperial House for these purposes in others shall include first and above all Jurisdictional Royalty not directly derived from the Empire which at first shall consist only of the Royals of the Territorial Kingdom of Hawaii but may in time include others as well. They shall be entitled to special recognitions and variances of family institutions and the exercise of Monarchy in their Jurisdiction and representation fairly high in the Council of Nobles of the DIG legislature. Royalty not properly in the Imperial House will secondly those Peer-Electors who hold full titles of the lower reaches of royalty and they shall exercise their roles as given in the Constitution. Both the rulers and laws of the Union shall take into account other royalty whether visiting, refugee, foreign or Citizen but their royalty itself has limited protocol importance which is greater the shorter their stay and less constitutional importance which may be established by settlement of claims or gift in recognition of rank and limited thereto.
*** ***** ***** ***** ****** **** ***** ***** **** **** **** **** **
If you have the energy to discuss this with friends that would be great. But the basic point here in these Subsections Three ” Funding and Treasury ” and Two ” Crown and Center of all Royalism in the Empire” of Section One “Monarchy” in Article Six “The Direct Imperial Government” is tied to the usual tension that for our system to work there are always different levels of government and these relate both to the sharing of sovereignty and the exercise of government. However, in this end of section one there are two very specific points. First, the wealth, estates, tiny percentage set-asides and other benefits due to the Emperor and the Imperial House are especially not subject to any ordinary budget discussions or taxations by Congress or any other Union elements. Secondly, The Emperor and the Imperial House are not able to draw on the General treasury or the Congress for funds except where extraordinary events and challenges join the Union and Empire in an unusually direct way in a common enterprise outside the normal scope of the Constitution. Thirdly, this Article assures that no understanding of royalism and these special institutions can grown up through jurisdictional royalty which tends to abolich the whole regime. To prevent this the Emperor and his House have some special reserve powers as regards royal regimes throughout the society.
For, some of this context and scope read the rest of this bold section and see a slightly different turn of some phrases familiar to those who have been reading along so far. In this Constitution the Emperor reigns over the Empire and has a very diminished role in the Constitutional Jurisdictions. However, the same person who is the Emperor is also the sovereign monarch of the Compact and possibly of Constitutional Jurisdictions in Louisiana. Beyond that the Emperor as Emperor directly exercises significant Executive power in the Direct Imperial Government Jurisdiction. Then there are Constitutional reservations and grants of authority and privilage to agencies of the Direct Imperial Governement through and for its agencies which provide effective connections of society’s democratic elements to its royalty through an aristocracy and minister tot the needs of the full society and of the inner Imperial institutions through effective national and regional organizations these agencies have specified ties to the Union but are administered under the Emperor and Imperial House as the Direct esecutive to which they are respond. They also cultivate throughout society a culture which is loyal to the Emperor and Empress as well as responding to the demands of a society with federal, combined styles, and a mixed government nature of our society. Specified roles in foreign relations are alotted especially to the Compacts where a particular relationship is most recognized and the Emperor appoints important figure in each of these compacts. While the Imperial institutions will conduct these and many other activities largely within the Empire Proper or its subsidiary and annex in the Direct Imperial Government all of what is done in these ways will have to be recognized in the Union as well and needs this Constitutional support and must find its role within the Union and Empire. Later in theses notes the discussion of the role of lthe Direct imperial Government continues with this Article’s discussions of the role of the Five-Fold Nobility in this Direct Imperial Government element of society and then goes into the democratic aspect of all of this. Much of all three aspects has a monarchic overcast in the DIG just as in the Constitutional Jurisdictions which retain republican forms from the second and first union there is a democratic hue to everything. So part of what is said in these two subsections applies to this whole Article and part is limited to this section on Monarchy. The two big he language about the Direct Imperial Government is most important in authorizing and describing those functions of governance which will form much of the structure of the newer elements of the new Constitutional Union.

I have tagged a few FB friends and I will in some or all my notes. Any kind of political radicalism at any time is a risk for those associated with it and so I am keeping the tagging to a minimum and while a great deal of endorsement will be needed to effect these changes there is no indication that someone tagged in a note in this series is actually endorsing the note. As always I am willing to respond to posted comments, chat and private messages.

Frank Kerksieck Batson This is somewhat interesting as a rant against the problems that we face in our country today. Our country has evolved into an albatros similar to the proposed changes. Louisiana has always been front and center as an incubator of rot. Who should be emperer and what religion should be approved?

Frank Wynerth Summers III Thanks for your comment Frank. It seems like it could be satire I am sure but it is not. Actually, this is not sarcastic. I always pick a few of those with the strongest prejudices in favor and the strongest against each note to tag. I am not trying to sneak anything through or live a double life.

This is a proposed revolutionary regime in which the vast majority of people would live in States, Territories and Possessions and which would comprise all the lands under the US flags. Except for some mechanical changes and real assurances of autonomy for each State a person such as yourself would likely notice very little direct change in your life. The Emperor would be an official Christian but the neither the part of the Constitutional Union which is really the reformed Union in the norm,al sense nor the Empire aspect will have an official religion. There will be more complex freedom of religion and less freedom from religion but there will be all the seminaries, temples, churches now.
However, a tiny portion of lands would be made up of the manor-fiefs mentioned here. Each would have an official religion approved by charter under the one single Jurisdiction made up of small zones and patches of land of various kinds, they would have a “Convivencia” for tolerance of those not of that religion but ideally these would move out to another Manor in a swap over generations. This small percentage of much less than one percent at first would be a Domestic Regime like many others. All domestic regimes even in the states (families, monasteries) would have enhanced rights under the new constitution.
Even in the Jurisdiction where the manors are there would be mostly districts not manorial where fully free citizens of the jurisdiction are involved in the guildhalls, compact assemblies and border guards as well as the District of Columbia. Finally the forced laborers mentioned as income to the Emperor only serve a period of detention for migrants (more with each of five offenses and then legal residency for a time at least) or in the case of convicts serve the middle of a sentence beginning and ending in their State or other prison. Some of the money they earn would go to their home prison system which would not have to care for them, some to their pockets in a small weekly check, some to pay minimum FICA payments, some to monies they would receive on release. With this and the stream of money to their family and victims they would have less need to repeat their crimes.

The first three articles and the notes about them talk much more about life in the average this is extraordinary part of the whole. If a jurisdiction wished to charter its own manors which is unlikely at least in most cases they would only exist in that jurisdiction and would have to be approved by the high standards of the Imperial portion. This is a very controversial regime if you ever get to read it all and it is not sarcastic. However, it does not propose that most Americans will live on manors. First the Manor lands must be acquired and only few lands are available under any foreseen aspect of this founding process. Most people will live in the misery, hassle, fun, wealth, poverty and insecurity we call the Free Market of today as it evolves….

Discussions on the Model Constitution (20th in a Series): Direct Imperial Government, Monarchy

Discussions on the Model Constitution (20th in Series): Direct Imperial Government, Monarchy
by Frank Wynerth Summers III on Wednesday, May 2, 2012 at 1:53pm ·
This Note will be about the first two subsections of the First Section of Article Six in my Model Constitution. For those who want to see the Model Constitution I propose as a whole you can go to the following link:

https://franksummers3ba.wordpress.com/major-themes-of-this-blog/new-model-constitution-of-the-united-states-of-america

This is one of the many times when I ought to express clearly that founding the Constitutional Union proposed here in this Model Constitution will be very difficult I would not be proposing it if I were not compelled to believe that it was truly exigent and urgently needed. There are risks and huge obstacles along the way. Often in these notes I choose to spend most of the time and space involved in the note in discussing not the principal topic of the text but the the part which a reader might find most disturbing or shocking if reading the note without great familiarity with the topics being discussed. Then in a few words here and there I try to draw connections to the main legal points of the text and the basic constitutional theories involved. I also break down the constitutional text in a very basic way in the bold print section just below the text in these notes. That is what I am going to do again in this text. Most of the note will be about Imperial polygamy because polygamy is shocking and disturbing to many people and in this text the Imperial Harem is more or less introduced for the first time. Polygamy is essential to this partion of the Model Constitution but it is not the main point here. You can read over the bold print just below and a few points I will make along the way to grasp those main points. While the founding of the regime is not making Christianity the official religion there is an officially Christian Emperor and Empress and so the claims of Christianity must be dealt with seriously. That is the reason why this has a good bit of the tome of a theological and dcotrinal tract. That will not now become the normal trend for every note.

The Empire does not dictate domestic regimes to all or any of the Constitutional Jurisdictions of the Federal American Empire of the United States. However, it does presume and operate on the presumption that society will be better if most Citizen-Subjects are in monogamous marriages for a good portion of their adult lives. The tendency will be to see a structure courtship with what is still a love match leading to a single monogamous marriage between a man and a woman as the ideal for most people. However, the regime and its leaders expect to support the survival of monasticism for homosexuals of both sexes, bisexuals of both sexes and true celibates who wish to create such regimes. The regime and its leaders expect to support the survival of divorce with all of its trauma and injuries to society as part of the cost of a free people living together. The regime and its leaders expect to support the survival and restoration of formal placed mistresses for elite men who can afford a modest degree of polygamy in a modern American and Western Context. The regime and its leaders expect to support the survival and restoration of a relatively small number of true harems which clearly are regulated and recognize ranking of wives and both varied rules and traditions and Imperial Justice. In the Direct Imperial Government Jurisdiction all of these institutions will be extablished and also the existence of licensed courtesans who are highly regulated women who are paid sexual partners married to consenting and licensed men and operating outside their normal social circle.

However, the great Imperial Harem proposed here is far more than just one of these ancillary domestic and sexual regimes. It is also very much at the heart of the Empire and the Imperial section of society as proposed in this Constitution. This harem is very important to this Empire being what it must be for this regime to survive. It has been argued by many that polygamy is immoral and many of those who argue it are Christians, Jews and even Mormons who adhere to religions as their basis of morality and these religions are founded in the life of Abraham. Abraham was of course a polygamist:

Genesis 25:1-6
New International Reader’s Version (NIRV)
Genesis 25
Abraham Dies
1 Abraham married another woman. Her name was Keturah. 2 She had Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak and Shuah by Abraham. 3 Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. The children of Dedan were the Asshurites, the Letushites and the Leummites. 4 The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida and Eldaah. All of them came from Keturah.
5 Abraham left everything he owned to Isaac. 6 But while he was still living, he gave gifts to the sons of his concubines. Then he sent them away from his son Isaac. He sent them to the land of the east.

The passage above leaves out Abraham’s union with Sarah the mother of Isaac and the early years of their monogamy. It also leaves aside the long story which consists of his union with Hagar and the life of Hagar’s son Ishmael. But it shows he lived in a ranked polygamous system and shows the danger of taking things in a narrow and obviously foolish way as he gave presents and sent them to specified lands but gave Isaac the “everything” that was his title and estate. Isaac’s son Jacob will repeat the custom of a significant harem as recorded below.

Genesis 35:23-29
New International Reader’s Version (NIRV)
23 Leah was the mother of Reuben, Jacob’s oldest son. Her other sons were Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar and Zebulun. 24 The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin. 25 The sons of Rachel’s female servant Bilhah were Dan and Naphtali. 26 The sons of Leah’s female servant Zilpah were Gad and Asher.
Those were Jacob’s sons. They were born in Paddan Aram.
27 Jacob came home to his father Isaac in Mamre. Mamre is near Kiriath Arba, where Abraham and Isaac had stayed. The place is also called Hebron.
28 Isaac lived 180 years. 29 Then he took his last breath and died. He was very old when he joined the members of his family who had already died. His sons Esau and Jacob buried his body.
From these sons of polygamous Isaac we get the twelve tribes of Israel whose Patriarchs are also the type Jesus imitates in calling the Twelve Apostles. These products of polygamy found the archetypal structure of the Judeo-Christian Tradition. Just as Ishamel’s line which Mohammed claimed led to Arabs and Islam was also polygamous so was Esau’s line. One can see this in Genesis 36:1-7. Jesus Christ was most often called Son of David in the Gopsels of the Christian New Testament and in the historic reality of much of his life. David was called “a Man after God’s Own Heart” and made the claim of being “The Lord’s Anointed” a regular titile central to devout kingship. David was a very polygamous king whose marriages to Michal Princess of the House of Saul, Abigail, Bathsheba and several others all have the character of separate love stories with many troubles which display the individual personality of each of the women he loved who loved him. He had many more plural wives or consorts than are named as we see when he retires the ones who had become sexual partners of his rebelious son Prince Absalom, that passage is 2 Samuel 20:3.

The New Testament never condemns polygamy and it makes no bones about condemning at least some aspects and expressions of homosexuality in the Apostolic epistolary portions. This regime will tolerate and some other regimes in the Union will foster homosexuality which clearly is of the kind not allowed by the authoritative text for Christian morality. Further, the Christian tradition has its founder’s unambiguous condemnation of Divorce which is also permitted and this passage is also subject to careful interpretation.

Mark 10:1-12
New International Reader’s Version (NIRV)
Mark 10
Jesus Teaches About Divorce
1 Jesus left that place and went into the area of Judea and across the Jordan River. Again crowds of people came to him. As usual, he taught them.
2 Some Pharisees came to put him to the test. They asked, “Does the Law allow a man to divorce his wife?”
3 “What did Moses command you?” he replied.
4 They said, “Moses allowed a man to write a letter of divorce and send her away.”
5 “You were stubborn. That’s why Moses wrote you this law,” Jesus replied. 6 “But at the beginning of creation, God ‘made them male and female.’—(Genesis 1:27) 7 ‘That’s why a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife. 8 The two of them will become one.’—(Genesis 2:24) They are no longer two, but one. 9 So a man must not separate what God has joined together.”
10 When they were in the house again, the disciples asked Jesus about this.
11 He answered, “What if a man divorces his wife and gets married to another woman? He commits adultery against her. 12 And what if she divorces her husband and gets married to another man? She commits adultery.”
While the founding of the regime is not making Christianity the official religion there is an officially Christian Emperor and Empress and so the claims of Christianity must be dealt with seriously. It may happen that this regiome being founded will cause Mormons to use the DIG Jurisdction to live out polygamy while believing in Celestial plural marriage. But this is traditional Christian polygamy and accepts that even full sacramental marriage is abond only for earthly life which is still caught up in the eternal mystery of love which is on both side of death. This is one means of securing the inner person and dignity of each sex and especially of women in the harem and elsewhere.

Mark 12:18-27
New International Reader’s Version (NIRV)
Marriage When the Dead Rise
18 The Sadducees came to Jesus with a question. They do not believe that people rise from the dead. 19 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us about a man who died and didn’t have any children. But he did leave a wife behind. That man’s brother must get married to the widow. He must have children to carry on his dead brother’s name.
20 “There were seven brothers. The first one got married. He died without leaving any children. 21 The second one got married to the widow. He also died and left no child. It was the same with the third one. 22 In fact, none of the seven left any children. Last of all, the woman died too. 23 When the dead rise, whose wife will she be? All seven of them were married to her.”
24 Jesus replied, “You are mistaken because you do not know the Scriptures. And you do not know the power of God. 25 When the dead rise, they won’t get married. And their parents won’t give them to be married. They will be like the angels in heaven.
26 “What about the dead rising? Haven’t you read in the scroll of Moses the story of the bush? God said to Moses, ‘I am the God of Abraham. I am the God of Isaac. And I am the God of Jacob.’—(Exodus 3:6) 27 He is not the God of the dead. He is the God of the living. You have made a big mistake!”
Having discussed this we need not get nto every detail of how these things play out theologicaly any more than we already have. The next thing to remember is that Tertulian who was never canonized because his teaching and life were more successful than exemplary spent much of his life trying to change the status quo among priest in that grand and semi-united communion of what became Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox Priest. Until his time there were three very sizable groups of priests in terms of domestic rgimes. One was a group of monogamous priests who lived much as Protestant ministers and most Greek Orthodox priests do today. Another group was made up of men who vowednot ot have relations with women and consisted of real celibates, homosexual and those with hidden relationships much like Roman Catholic priests today. The third group was made up of priest who married usually two sisters from a devout family. The fact that he had to fight so hard is evidence of how well respected these priests were throughout the Church.
The word filioque in the phrase Pater Filioque procedit (proceeds from the Father and the son) which describes the Holy Spirit was added to the Nicene Creed and the glory of the altars by Charlemagne Carolingian, Duke of Bavaria, King of the Franks, King of the Lombards, Holy Roman Emperor, was born in the year 746 in Herstal to Pepin the Short and Bertrada of Laon and died 28 January 814 in Aachen of unspecified causes. Charlemagne was astrong polygamist who taught his royal sons to be so as well. He married Himiltrude (c742-c780) . He married Gerperga 767 . He married Hildegard (758-783) 770 . He married Fastrada (?-794) . He married Luitgard (?-800) . He was very much an openly Christian King and also puts to death the idea that among the very white people of the cloudy West in Europe Polygamy had no place. rpyal polygamy was essential to the ideas and work of the man known as Charlemagne (Latin: Carolus Magnus, meaning Charles the Great) who was a Christian and traditional King of the Franks from 768 and Emperor of the Romans (Imperator Romanorum) from 800 to his death. Charlemagne turned the Frankish kingdom into a Frankish Empire holding much of Western and Central Europe. A military and protocl success he united most of Italy and was crowned Imperator Augustus by Pope Leo III on 25 December 800 rivaling the Byzantine Emperor in Constantinople for a while. The importance of this man is hard to overstate. His contributions include the Carolingian Renaissance which was a revival of art, religion, and culture through the medium of the Catholic Church. However, his devopment of law, human e fuedalism and the arts of war went far beyond religion. A sophisiticated Western polygamist is numbered as Charles I in the regnal lists of France, Germany (where he is known as Karl der Große), and the Holy Roman Empire.

In this regime we are talking of course about life in this century. Assuming that Prince Charles’ relationship with the Current Duchess of Cornwall has not at some times been a cover for any number of other things including possible homosexual relationships one cannot help but feel that had she been introduced to Diana originally as his Official mistress things might have been better for a great many people. She may be a fine person but the outcome has hardly been ideal. Between Charlemagne adn the present day we have the discovery of the Forbidden City and its huge harems, the ladies that were bound to French, English and other kings. We have a whole battery of poygamist instituions we will not discuss in depth. But we will deal with an institution close to the intended and proposed regime and to its roots in Louisiana.

Plaçage was a very important recognized extralegal system in which white men drawn from the elite or prosperous classes of French, Spanish, Acadian, Creole and later some of the planter Elite of British America men entered into the what Americans often regarded as the equivalent of common-law marriages with women of African, Indian and white (European) Creole descent. However, while the formalities and some codes did devlope when white women were rare and serve as limited marraiges of amonogamous type they continued and spread as the polygamous achievements and glory of successful polygamous men who left their main estate to a woman and the children by her in their own class and a smaller estate to their placee. The word Plaçage is French derived from placer meaning “to place with”. The women were open consorts with rights in law and honor but were not legally recognized as wives but were known as placées; Free people of color called these institutions and domestic regimes mariages de la main gauche or left-handed marriages. Most such women quarteronnes or quadroons, or octaroons, the offspring of a European and a mulatto or a quadroon. Secondly most sought were the less numerous Metis women born to an Aboriginal American and a Europena or White person, but plaçage is found between whites and mulattoes and blacks. This influential domestic regime was well established throughout the French and Spanish colonial periods and survived in declining from throughout the antebellum period Found outside Louisiana there was an infrastructure in the cities of Natchez and Biloxi, Mississippi; Mobile, Alabama; St. Augustine and Pensacola, Florida; as well as Saint-Domingue (present-day Haiti). Plaçage, was more formalized as part of the whole second system of hidden laws and secret governments which operated behind its ts open application in New Orleans. The Imperial Mistress of Cermonies who will be governor of the Imperial Harem will also hav an offic which operates a system of placement and licensed mistress regimes for all races in limited and well-defined legal contexts. This institution has grown up in a monogamous society and despite the important prevalence of interracial covenants in the colony, not nearly all women in the Creoles of Colorcommunity were or became placées.

We will return to this subject. It will come up if we are to get through this Constitution. There will be time to talk about why it works and about all the functions it has and what its importance is. I have some other things I need to be doing and so I am simply getting this Note out and then taking a few more days off. People reading this will know that I am an American Christian and I just do not want them to think that I sort of accidentally wrote these things without thinking of how no American Christian could really propose such a thing. Quite, the opposite is the case. This is a serious part of a serious proposal which is seriously made.

Now I will leave you to read the Constitutional passages. There is an effort to show that we are gvetting away from the Union itself into areas where the Emperor would be more himself and more operating directly in an Imperial way.

**** ***** ***** **** ***** ***** **** ****** ****** *****
Article Six: The Direct Imperial Government
Section One: Monarchy
Subsection One: The Nature of the Monarchy and of the Direct Imperial Government
Provision One: This article shall not be construed in a significant way to enhance or authorize expansion of powers reserved or granted to the Emperor elsewhere in the Constitution. Likewise limits to the Emperor in the Direct Imperial Government shall not necessarily carry over to those powers exercised dirfectly in the sphere of the Empire in the broades sense, extraordinary powers in the Union or powers in the Sovereign titles held in Louisiana and in the Imperial Tribe. The Emperor shall reign, shall be the Supreme Executive, Special and Extraordinary Commander in Chief and Judiciary of Last Resort in the Empire. He is a minor and indirect player in the making of laws known as Legislation. This Article and this Constitution as a whole do not prejudice his roles as holder of other Titles.
Provision Two: This Article is also not the Constitution of the Direct Imperial Government Jurisdiction. This Article discusses the Direct Imperial Government as it exists within its roles and functions in the Empire and Union as such. The Emperor shall preside over an a federal Empire which while it is more unitary and less federal than the true nature of the republic is as federal as the republic was often understood to be recently and his sovereignty is that of the federal and direct imperial power and not of the States or constitutional jurisdictions in which a portion of the system of dual sovereignty exists. The Emperor shall by right occupy in fullness the Presidential and executive power during times when the First and Executive Vice President is disabled or unnamed sharing them with the Second or Deput Executive Vice President as proper under the Constitution.
Provision Three: When seeing the texts of this Article which authorize the effective exercise of powers by the Emperor not subject to much or any check or review by the Union or its executive it will not change the certain fact that powers of the Executive Branch as they have been vested in the Presidents of the Republic shall be ordinarily and customarily exercised by First and Executive Vice President except where the written constitution of the Empire clearly transfers or reserves those rights to the Emperor or where lands, bureaucracies houses and tribes clearly fall under the special power of the new Empire and were not part of the old Republican Presidency.
Provision Four: The processes of the Founding of the Empire shall in every way count as the Election of the Founding Emperor and the joining while the Constitution endures of the title of Basileus and Emperor. Basileus shall be the senior title and the Acadians shall provide no less than two-thirds majorities in all conclave elections under the Constitution. The Emperor shall also be at least King of the Compact of Louisiana and possibly of some of its Jurisdictions as well, including Roi de L’Etat de la Louisiane. This shall be a title equal in seniority to that of the Emperor and shall produce no less than half as many electors in the Conclave as the Empire itself produces.
Provision Five: Further the Empire and Union must accept that the Direct Imperial Government will be the principal venue covered by this Constitution for interacting with the Imperial Tribe. Nor can the republican and democratic ideas of accountancy and transparency always be applied to the House and the Tribe. Thus the committments to transparency and accountability made in this Constitution as regard the House and Tribe are to be narrowly construed. In this sense of separation there is also the fact that the Empire and Union must accept the fact that some of the Acadians will not be citizen-subjects of the Empire. These Outside Acadians will participate in benefits of the Direct Imperial Government in a limited way with respect for the security of the Union and Empire and their representatives and random select members will number no more than one fifth nor less than one tenth of the Acadian section of the conclave unless the demographics or politics should obviously mean that the se persons had become citizen-subjects of the Empire.
Subsection Two: Partial Enumeration of the Elements of the Direct Imperial Government
The Royal Monarchist element of the Third Union will be most effective and complete in the Direct Imperial Government (DIG). There shall be a handful of Institutions which shall be most especially the Preserve of the Royalist Imperial element of the government and society. A partial but substantial list that includes most of these elements would be:
I. The Imperial House itself.
*The Special Properties of the Royal Fiat Spaces, Zonesections, Grand Seigneuries Fiefdoms of the Imperial House and Harem are all going to be very substantial shocks and difficult adjustments to the political culture of this country and union.
i.The Imperial Harem
Imperial Harem will be the most difficult to accept as a real and normal part of life. It will be governed more than almost any other institution outside the purview of this constitution itself because this is primarily the Federal Constitution and secondarily the Constitution on that part of the Imperial regime which is most public and invoved with the Federal regime. However, there are some laws and facts to which the Federal Union and the Jurisdictions must give effect and of which they must take legal cognizance.Separate from the other issuesis that while the Harem has some daily self-governance as well as its outer voice and while it is under the power of its absolute Lord and Master it also has a governor who is not part of the Harem, this is the Mistress of Ceremonies. Her office is described in the Article on the Imperial House and Tribe eventhough she has more to do with the DIG than the Harem does. It is imperative that the regime not be founded at all along these lines unless the Harem in its strangeness is accepted and duly authorized and so it must appear here in twelve simple principles:
1. The largest harem manageable and sustainable is presumed to be the right size
2. Women who are Citizen-Subjects and are not royalty who have been involved with the Emperor before he was Emperor have a strong but rebuttable duty to join the Harem.
3.Women inducted go through an Accounting and Civil Settlement, A Ceremony of the Civil Execution of a Living Woman, a social funeral and then a Proxy Wedding.
4. Harem Consorts cannot be arrested or charged by any but Imperial House Authorities.
5. They do have and important voice in both GRIHHA legislation and Emperor Succession.
6. Their sons over six years old will never live with them again unless they achieve high harem rank but will live largely nearby, eat with them and visit often. Their children are of whatever rank and class of filiates and persons they were if they are not the Emperor’s children but if they all their children by the Emperor are his Natural Children of mother-varied rank.
7. Their daughters by the Emperor must always wear a daughter’s uniform in the seraglio sites after the age of twelve,
8. It will be a felony to harbor an escaped Harem Consort anywhere in the Empire.
9. No Harem Consort below the rank of Established Mistress will leave the seraglio sites without a guard who is a Eunuch made by war and wearing an Imperial certified chasity belt.
10. Harem consorts will share in their division of the ten percent of the Emperor’s set-asides in three thirds. One third will be divided among all Harem Consorts equally . One third will be divided based on structural class: this will be4d for an Estabished Mistress or Chief High Concubine, 3d for a Mistress or High Concubine, 2d for a Mistress’s Maid, Concubine or High Concubine’s Maid, andd for a Concubine’s Maid. The last third will be divided on the basis of Earned Harem Merit Rating.
11. Harem Consorts retain all property rights although they pay a one percent tax on both capital gains and income to both the Emperor and the Harem.
12. All their personal rights are vested in the Emperor while he lives. The Harem is disbanded upon his death by law. They are often strong and ambitious women of free spirit and are all presumed to have a motive for murdering their Absolute Lord and Master. This element need not be proved in law and if they are convicted of the other elements in a murder of the Emperor then those individual consorts convicted face a mandatory death penalty.
ii. Grand Seigneury Fiefdoms of the Imperial Household
There will be fifty Grand Seigneury Fiedoms and three hundred Petit Seigneury Fiefdoms created in the division of the Bureau of Land Management lands as described in the Article of the Founding in this Constitution. Forty of the Grand Seigneury Fiefdoms will go to the Peer-Electors who will have their domestic regimes seated there and will pay very divergent fee and settlements to recieve these estates which anchor all their privileges. However, there will be ten which go to the Imperial House without direct remuneration. They will also receive some Petit Seigneury Fiefdoms. But in this Constitution we only enumerate the disposition of the Ten Grand Seigneury Fiefdoms of the Imperial House. All shall have a true place name but here only their descriptive name is given:
1. The Ex -Officio Prime Fiefdom of the Emperor.
2.The Ex-Officio Prime Fiefdom of the Empress.
3. The Ex-Officio Fiefdom of the Commander of the Honor Guard.
4.The Ex-Officio Fiefdom of the Mistress of Ceremonies
5. The Ex-Officio Fiefdom of the Imperial Chaplain
6. The Ex-Officio Fiefdom of the Solicitor for the Executive
7. The Ex-Officio Fiefdom for the Basileus appointed President of the Bouletherion (one of five)
8. The Ex-Officio Fiefdom for the Chancellor fo the King of Louisiana/Roi de la Louisiane
9. The Severable Founder’s Fiefdom shall go to the Founding Family Association and they shall beome the forty-first and lowest ranked Peer-Elector House and elect from among their Head Peer-Elector line from the group of candidate not in the upper or inner Imperial House after the death of the Founding Emperor. Their full title and regime will emerge after the death of the Founding Emperor. This Peer-Elector shall have all rights of the others even where they are called the forty in honor of the Forty traditions honored in the begining who paid into the treasury to redeem their fief.
10. The Ex-Officio Fiefdom the First Seeded Heir. In this system there is no Heir Apparent or Presumptive Heir and Merit and Election are decisive but this is the greatest special privilege of the First Seeded Heir.
II. The Office of Liaison to the Ethnos Arkadios.
III. The Empress’s Office of Women’s Affairs
IV.The Empress’s Ministry of Protocol.
V. The Mistress of Ceremonies’ Office of Liaisons and Placements
VI. The Mistress of Ceremony’s Office of Ritual Confrontation
VII.The Imperial Household
VIII. The Imperial House & Household Bank
IX. The Emperor’s Office of Wastes and Ruins
X. The Imperial Office of Human Habitat Expansion.
XI. The Personal, Household and Direct Imperial Military Institutions.
XII. The Imperial Services Agency.
XIII. The Imperial Wellness Agency.
XIV. The Imperial Borders Administration.
*Royal Fiat Zonesections belong to the House and the IBA
** DIG Zonesections Belong to some othe part of the Empire and to the IBA.
***Imperial Tribal Zonesections

If you have the energy to discuss this with friends that would be great. But the basic point here in these Subsections One ” The Nature of the Monarchy and of the Direct Imperial Government” and Two “Partial Enumeration of the Elements of the Direct Imperial Government” of Section One “Monarchy” in Article Six “The Direct Imperial Government” is that for our system to work there are always different levels of government and these relate both to the sharing of sovereignty and the exercise of government. In this Constitution the Emperor reigns over the Empire and has a very fiminished role in the Constitutional Juriosdictions. However, the same person who is the EMperor is also the sovereign monarch of the Compact and possible of Constitutional Jurisdictions in Louisiana. Beyond that the Emperor as Emperor directly exercises significant Executive power in the Directi Imperial Government Jurisdiction. Then there are Constitutional reservations and grants of authority and privilage to agencies of the Direct Imperial Governement through and for its agencies which provide effective connections of society’s democratic elements to its royalty through an aristocracy and minister tot the needs of thefull society and of the inner Imperial institutions through effective national and regional organizations these agencies have specified ties to the Union but are administered under the Emperor and Imperial House as the Direct esecutive to which they are respond. They also cultivate throughout society a culture which is loyal to the Emperor and Empress as well as responding to the demands of a society with federal, combined styles, and a mixed government nature of our society. Specified roles in foreign relations are alotted especially to the Compacts where a particular relationship is most recognized. They wil conduct these activities largely within the Empire Proper but for that it will have to be recognized in the Union as well and needs this Constitutional support and imust find its role within the Union and Empire. This role of lthe Direct imperial Government continues with this Article’s conclusion of discussions of the Monarchy in the Direct Imperial Government and then introduces the role of the Five-Fold Nobility in this Direct Imperial Government element of society and then goes into the democratic aspect of all of this. The language about the Direct Imperial Government is most important in authorizing and describing those functions of governance which will form much of the structure of the newer elements of the new Constitutional Union.

Discussions of the Model Constitution (2d in Series): Sovereignty and Government

Why and How I Am a Committed Radical (2d in Series): American Government and Sovereignty
by Frank Wynerth Summers III on Wednesday, April 4, 2012 at 8:50am ·
Is America a democratic republic? If it not was it intended to be one? Then we should ask, regardless of the answer to the first two questions “Should America be a Democratic Republic?” America must understand itself if it is to transform itself in useful and worthwhile ways. To see my Model Constitution in full got to the link below. This is just a guide to a small passage within it:

https://franksummers3ba.wordpress.com/major-themes-of-this-blog/new-model-constitution-of-the-united-states-of-america/

Now let us return to a brief discussion of what kind of Union we ought to have. America has become an advocate with guns and lies and corruption for international regimes configured around an idea of democracy which was not the ideal in the founding of our union of republican states. Nor is this a minor difficulty. Our fundamental inability to understand our government as a society has horrible effects.

Tonight many people will remeber the anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King. The only American with their own holiday now is Martin Luther King Junior. He and not even such a figure as Justice Thurgood Marshall has a monument on the Mall and is proof to anyone who counld actuallly think of the fact of Black Supremacist America. This perhaps suits many people because Black American are less prepared to exercise leadership than Confederate Americans, Spanish (White Hispanic) Americans, Cajun Americans, Jewish Americans, Mestizo Americans or other groups. Thus one can opt out of the national mainstream easily in a society where the legal aristocracy and dominant group is one of the poorest in true wealth, least dsiciplined, most criminal and least respectable large populations in the country.

I have been the victim of violent racism against white people in a number of countries anumber of times. When I was not a victim it was sometimes because I prevailed against five or more attacking memebers of the other race at the same time. I have seen the white-murdering negro establishment of the United States in all its racist horror. I invite anyone who can think to compare Bill Clinton’s casuistic and careful white lies about the Lewinski affair with Herman Cain’s bald faced lies about sexual purity. The lines between races are not hard sealed and airtight but there are real differences and our racial policies are destroying us. I do not believe things were alright before the Civil Rights movement but do believe that they are worse now. What would the government do if when the most recent white-hating black murderer and rapist was released on to the street and white mob was on the street demanding redress for the abuse of their civil rights? This country is a moral sewer. But a one-sided racially obssessed regime is almost the last thing this country needs. The typical black organization in America is about as racially hateful and obsessed as the Ku Klux Klan. However, the Klan is criminalized and the many Black identity and African-American identified groups are all fostered and supported by countless laws.

Direct Election of Senators was a terrible constitutional mistake. It undid the fabric of much of our country by keeping the Senate tied to the local knowledge of the State Legislatures. The intention of the Founders was in part to preserve Ferderalism as a great principle we will return to in my next Note in this series it was also to have the legislatures appoint as manyh members as possible of the unofficial aristocracy that exists in Each state whether recognized or not. These were people who might never run themselves. In an era when women are in the Senate I think of my recently deceased grandmother as such a person. Royalist systems have always had some female office holders and republics are usually more misogynistic. Someone like her might have been a Senator and this might have been done with a grateful acknowledgement of a loose kind of privilege she would have richly repayed to Louisiana and the Union. Who knows…

Here are some facts about her one would not find in a typical campaign spot but that a legislature might know.
Beverly Miller Summers was the daughter of Dr. Preston Joseph Miller who moved into Vermilion Parish and Laura Broussard who was a native of Cow Island and tied to old and prominent rural landowning familes. The Broussards also held important positions in Acadian life and culture which cannot be adequately described in this brief note. My grandmother had owned in her life quite few thousands of acres of lands nearby acquired, owned and transferred in quite a varied and complex range of property rights and conveyances. These lands were all in the region traditionaly known as the Terre des Attakapas. This was a land including almost all of Vermilion Parish and most of several neighboring parishes and it is named for Aboriginal American tribe known for small numbers, ferocity and cannibalism who were very diminished in wars with other Aboriginal American nations, the Spanish and the French before the Acadians under Joseph Broussard came to this region. The Prairie where Abbeville and Lafayette sit is the Attakapas country in Acadian and Louisiana parlance. A good number of Atakapas (or Attakapas of Atakkapas) were killed in skirmishes and there wives and children taken as mistresseses and second families by the Acadians. Some of their descendants joined the Houma who also interbred and intermarried heavily with the Acadians. The Attakapas name was so hated by neighbors that only people who are almost pure European White have ever dared to use it since first contact. There are remenants but no tribe. The remnants are spread over a large area.

My grandmother’s mother’s family were descendants of Joseph Broussard, obviously he was also my ancestor. He was a resistance leader in Acadie, Captain of the Attakapas, little understood he stands tall as the founding Basileus of the New Acadia. He held a uniquely high status for a colonist with the British, French and Spanish although he did not have an easy life as a result. Joseph Broussard is known Broussard dit Beausoleil. “Beausoleil” means beautiful sunlight in French among other things. It is also the name of a town in Acadie where several families including the Broussards lived. Part of the identifying handle of Joseph Broussard dit Beausoleil. Beausoleil is also a code name for Basileus which is Greek for King. The original name of Acadie in Canada was Arcadie or in English Arcadia before it was Acadia. While my grandmother was never popularly elected her husband was elected to several posts in the Louisiana judiciary. He rose to his post as Chief Justice based on seniority. But in his day the elections of Judges were more nuanced than today — less democratic in the sense that democracy is bad for the judiciary. She had a full life with him and without him which was relevant to public life in this State and region. My grandmother Beverly Miller Summers and I spent a great deal of time together. We knew each other extraordinarily well and we had quite a few enjoyable times together. We were not really all that much alike in most of the terms by which most people would measure people being alike. We did not have mostly the same vices or virtues. We did not have an infinite trust in one another. Much of what bound us to gether was sharing in work which most people would find odd and esoteric and many would not recognize as legitimately being work. So much time spent is now safely locked in the past sealed with deaths twenty years apart of Chief Justice and Mrs. Frank Wynerth Summers. In her death his death is somehow completed for me. Although Christians recognize death as ending a marriage there is something of the “two become one” which that faith and others cannot help but feel as well. They survive in their descendants but they also end their tenure in my life as the couple is gathered beside one another in death’s rest. Head she served six or twelve years in a US Senate I think the matured ideals of the Founders would have been perfected in that institution. Arguing that it needs to be more democratic misses much (but not all) of its point.

In my Model Constitution I recommend three Seantors for each State with two popularly elected for terms as they are now and one appointed by each State Legislature for a twelve year term. That is not directly the section being discussed in this days note however. We are in the article on Sovereignty, we may get to Article Two on Congress eventually.

****** ******* ******* ******** ************* ********

Article One: Sovereignty
In understanding governance in this union nothing is more imperative and few things are more intrinsically difficult than understanding the concept, function an operation of sovereignty in the Federal American Empire of the United States . Sovereignty in this American Empire is at once much richer and more complicated than in the governing charters and social contracts which bind together most nations and polities
Section One: Mixed Government
The head of state in this Union is the person who most embodies the Sovreignty. That is the Emperor. However, the Sovereignty is held and administered in a complex way. This government is a system in which the elements of Monarchy, Aristocracy and Democracy are all included and subsumed. In recent decades America has become known for Democracy. Most Americans have grown up only praising Democracy. However, Federal government in the United States of America under the Constitution of 1789 was designed to be monarchy established in the President, an aristocracy established in the Senate and the Supreme Court and a democracy established in the House of Representatives. Monarchy, Democracy and Aristocracy are terms intended to be very specific and technical in their meaning.
Section Two: Balanced Style
This government blends elements of the royalist and the republican style of government. Now the post for which I gave the link above states briefly how our Founding Fathers expected America to follow the path from royalist agrarianism to republicanism and into Empire. ”One must remember that this would be a revolution that leaves the vast preponderance of resources in a slightly altered set of institutions that have evolved within a republican structure. This is a very American approach since America’s 200 and more republican years have merged from a relatively slightly modified version of British and Arcadian-Acadian royalist regimes mixed with Iroquois Chieftainly confederated mixed government seen through the lense of Greek Classical political science and the Roman republics emergence from the Kingdom of the City of Rome. In the tradition we now would move like Rome from Republic to Empire. However, the American enterprise has never been a purist enterprise and this is not a purist’s proposal.”
Most of our words related to theories of government have Greek roots and are basically Greek. These include democracy, oligarchy, aristocracy, monarchy, tyranny, politics, police and others. However republic and republicanism are Latin in root and origin despite the prominence of Plato’s account of the Socratic dialog Republic. The real name of the book is Politea which more or less means Politics. However, since English has called Aristotle’s great work Politics it is easier for us to call this earlier book Republic. It is also true that “City-State Politics” might better translate Plato’s title. The very Roman concept of republic had not been invented in Plato’s time but they did get most of its elements from Greece. Greece had conquered colonized and formed much of the cultural environment in Italy in which Rome grew to maturity. That is true although ancient Rome was one of the less Greek parts of that world until they started conquering Greeks of the aging and crumbling Hellenic Empires that also did not exist when Plato wrote or Socrates spoke. Republic is the joining of two Latin words: res and publica and begins as a phrase res publica before being contracted into republica. The phrase means the public thing. There is a difference between a true Hellenic or Greek King and a Norse or Teutonic King in classic times. There is even more of a difference between a true Emperor and such Northern or some far Eastern despots. Christianity which is Hebrew and Greek and Roman as Hitler rightly pointed out brought to the North of Europe the balance that Henry VIII and the Lutheran Princes began to erode. In Christian Europe of the Middle Ages the King might own a great deal but God owned a lot as well through the democratic and aristocratic structures of the Catholic Church. Thus the Public Thing survives and the realm is not merely a possession of the King. It was against this resurgence of a state which is not really public and constitutional that the Americans fought the revolution. While this Constitution does establish a royal monarch it is not largely a rejection of republican values which have formed this country and union. Royalism and Republicanism are terms intended to be very specific and technical in their meaning.

So if you have the energy to discuss this with friends that would be great. But the basic point here in the first portions of the article on Sovereignty is that our system is not a democratic republic but a mixed government Constitutional Union of mixed government republics. It was intended to be capable of change to an Empire and Union uniting various kinds of polities and we have reached the time for that phase. It is time for a new Constitutional Union.

I have tagged a few FB friends and I will in some or all my notes. Any kind of political radicalism at any time is a risk for those associated with it and so I am keeping the tagging to a minimum and while a great deal of endorsement will be needed to effect these changes there is no indication that someone tagged in a note in this series is actually endorsing the note. AS always I am willing to respond to posted comments, chat and private messages.
