On April 20th, 2023, the first Freedom Assembly, made the following Declaration of Inalienable Human Rights, according with the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God.
1. These laws to be the only man-made laws that govern our men, women, children, and lands--- and no man, woman, or child, can be made exempt.
2. The free exercise and practices of unbridged freedom of speech, and of the press; and of religion; and of the right of the people peaceably to travel; and peaceably assemble, and to petition government and institutions for a redress of grievances.
3. A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, alongside the inalienable right of the individual to protect one’s life and property, so too, the people’s right to keep and bear all manner of arms, shall not be infringed.
4. The free exercise and practices of unbridged freedom of farming, land ownership, and property use recognizes property purchased under contract to be under the sole discretion of the owner, outside of harm to the greater community; and farming the land to be governed by the laws of nature and of nature’s God alone, unassailable by any law mankind shall make or attempt.
5. No stipulation, regulation, licencing, or man-made law shall infringe on the right to free market enterprise, which enshrines voluntary exchange and community judgement as the only guiding principles to govern market behavior and liability, aside from the need to cause no harm to any man, woman, child, their respective property, or the community.
6. The form and free exercise and practices of education are the sole determining and right of families of men and women on behalf of their own God given children, legal guardianships, or adopted children, and adults for themselves, not to be infringed upon, or ruled over in any fashion, by any other law or authority.
7. The right of men, women, and children, to be secure in their bodily autonomy---free from all physical restraint and assault; and to practice or exercise any form of medicine, healthcare, or medicinal services, provided they cause no harm beyond commonly understood risks in general and associated with similar medical practices.
8. The right of men, women, and children, to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
9. No man, woman, or child, shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against one’s self, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
10. In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defence.
11. In suits at common law, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any court, other than according to the rules of the common law.
12. Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
13. The enumeration herein, of all inalienable human rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
14. No institution can be granted any human rights or make a claim of harm against any human being.
15. Government, being a manner of institution and human construct, as is a corporation, cannot either be granted human rights, are both incapable of sentiment aside from self-preservation, and both, therefore, are not tasked, or relied upon to deliver impossible altruistic or beneficent action.
16. On coercion, crime, and harm, all three synonymous, any institution, for profit, or not, in any form, cannot be held liable, or to account, for harm done to the community, or any human being---therefore, every human who received remuneration in the form of compensation or benefit from a harmful institution, is liable and responsible to the degree harm is done, baring evidence that arises in a court of peers to indicate both harm done, and specifics on decision and responsibility.
17. Likewise, the act of whistleblowing and making public evidence of any manner of criminal harm, shields these men, women, and children from responsibility---that is considering the lines and spaces between an informant, turning state's evidence, and whistleblowing before harm takes place, or with zero accountability, and according to common sense weights and measures, determined by a court of peers.
18. The powers not delegated to the government by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it, are reserved to the people.
