10th DECLARATION
WE THE PEOPLE
The State of California is in constitutional default and does not have constitutional standing as a member state in the union of states called the United States of America. We the People, as citizens of the United States living in California, are following the process of West Virginia, which successfully restored the Virginia state government after the Wheeling Conventions of 1861. Congress admitted California into the Compact of Statehood within the United States of America in 1850 because their 1849 Constitution, ratified for consideration, guaranteed a republican form of government.
The exclusion of We The People from the legislature and the legislative process in California has long been one of concern to Californians. As each year goes by, the overbalance of the bureaucracies’ influence in all elements of the legislative process has created a bureaucratic state that has drowned out the voices of the very People the servants are to serve.
