A FreeKeene.com reader/commenter has asked me the following question regarding the Shire Society Declaration:
BTW: How is that “Shire Society” document NOT just another Constitution-type, set of simple statutes? In other words, SAME THING, as the current system of (unjust)laws???
I is none constitutional scholar… but I’d say the vast difference is found in the second provision of the document:
“Second, no individual or association of individuals, however constituted, has the right to initiate force against any other individual;”
If all of the sudden a 28th Amendment were to be smacked onto the United States Constitution which mimicked the above, we would have a voluntary society. A society where wearing a costume and a piece of metal on your chest no longer instills a magical ability to initiate violence against someone.
Imagine that.
This question may be one that other people not directly involved in liberty circles have. Perhaps you could have a better explanation to this question than I did?
Please, show me up below. 😀
