Re: Authority and Duty of Township Legislative Officers to Restore Constitutional 'republican form' of Governance

Dear Officer,

Please take notice that the People, with rights inherent from God, assembled, consulted, and created the Michigan Constitution based upon the 'common law' of the ages (written maxims of law); this Constitution is supreme in its authority and supercedes all statutory (legislative) law. Take notice rights inherent from God encompass the People of all states as seen in the 50+1 Declaration/Bill of Rights. (see evidence below):

Maxim of Law: Natural rights are such as appertain to man, inherent in his nature or plainly assured by natural law, being distinguished from such as are created by law, and depend upon civilized society.

Take notice that the purpose of all government is to protect the People's individual rights, private property, and to secure public liberties by administrating in the public space. As one of the People, you have the absolute right of voluntary association in the private realm; enjoying your full God-given rights and constitutional protections; or, to freely associate as a government trustee/servant in the public realm, administrating the People's business and protecting their rights under your prerequisite sworn trust indenture and contract. (see evidence below):

Maxim of Law: The main object of government is the protection and preservation of personal rights, private property, and public liberties, and upholding the law of God.

Please take notice that in creating a republic, the People have reserved to themselves the sole right to regulate their internal government and to instruct their trustees/servants as to their will; in total, the state Declaration of Rights reserves to the People full control over the workings of their government; from constitutional officers at state and county level, and equally to township officers within local communities. By reading provisions in Article VII: Local Government you will understand that the People of the township have been delegated full authority to self-govern their own communities as per their native customs and usage, without undue interference by other government entities. (see evidence below) (emphasis by underline added):

Michigan Constitution Declaration of Rights Section 3: Assembly, consultation, instruction, petition

"The people have the right peaceably to assemble, to consult for the common good, to instruct their representatives and to petition the government for redress of grievances."

Mississippi Constitution Bill of Rights Section 6: Regulation of Government; Right to Alter

"The people of this state have the inherent, sole, and exclusive right to regulate the internal government and police thereof, and to alter and abolish their constitution and form of government whenever they deem it necessary to their safety and happiness; provided, such change be not repugnant to the constitution of the United States."

Please notice that together, the township supervisor, clerk, treasurer and trustees comprise the constitutional township degislative/administrative officers. Take further notice in Section 18 the Constitutional officers of the township are granted legislative and administrative powers, which "shall be provided by law" indicating these functions are mandatory under your contract with the People. These "shall be provided by law" legislative/administrative duties are to be set by the People of the township through public town halls and other necessary means, in obeyance of Article 1 Section 1: "All political power is inherent in the people." (see evidence below) (emphasis added):

Section 17: Townships; Corporate Character, Powers and Immunities

Each organized township shall be a body corporate with powers and immunities provided by law.

Section 18:Township Officers; Term, Powers and Duties

In each organized township there shall be elected for terms of not less than two nor more than four years as prescribed by law a supervisor, a clerk, a treasurer, and not to exceed four trustees, whose legislative and administrative powers and duties shall be provided by law.

Please take final notice that it is your constitutional duty as township legislative/administrative officers to set the time, place and manner of elections (and other relevant regulation) in pursuance of the State and U.S Constitutions; plus any law further enacted by the will of the People of your political subdivision. Notice that any current associations and sources of power not in pursuance of the constitution are void and must be broken.

Maxim of Law: "In the presence of the superior power, the inferior power ceases. The less authority is merged in the greater."

Maxim of Law: "The laws themselves desire that they should be governed by right."

Maxim of Law: "Whose it is to institute, his it is also to abrogate."

Miranda V. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436 (1966): "Where rights secured by the Constitution(s) are involved, there can be no rule-making or legislation which would abrogate them."
