According to the Law of Nations, Sovereign(ty) is:

“But nations or sovereign states being moral persons, and the subjects of the obligations and rights resulting, in virtue of the law of nature, from the act of association which has formed the political body."

"Each sovereign state claims and actually possesses an absolute independence on all the others....nations or sovereign states are to be considered as so many free persons living together in the state of nature."

“This political authority is the sovereignty; and he or they who are invested with it are the sovereign.”

“Every nation that governs itself, under what form soever, without dependence on any foreign power, is a sovereign state. Its rights are naturally the same as those of any other state. Such are the moral persons who live together in a natural society, subject to the law of nations. To give a nation a right to make an immediate figure in this grand society, it is sufficient that it be really sovereign and independent, that is, that it govern itself by its own authority and laws.”

SO…In order to form a nation, one must become sovereign…or separate from any nation or state that does not allow them to be in a state of sovereignty. This is why the steps below for forming an assembly, are so important. Assemblies are sovereign by nature of their Bilateral Social Compact. So the people in them, need to be separated from anything that does not allow them to be sovereign to their assembly government.
FOLLOW EACH STEP BELOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR COUNTY ASSEMBLY:

STEP 1: Study and Comprehend the Following Documents:
  • The Law of Nations by Emmerich de Vattel - Explains the concepts of self-governance using Natural Law (laws of nature), bodies politic, and social compacts. Article 8 of the United States Constitution, the Declaration of Independence and Articles of Confederation were authored based on principles from this work. Most people who came here from Europe knew of this book and structured their assemblies after it. (See the attached "The Law of Nations" in the documents above.)
  • Articles of Confederation 
  • Declaration of Independence
  • Magna Carta
  • Constitution of the United States of America - notice Article 6 which outlines the debt the Constitution was created to settle

STEP 2: MEET FOR REGULAR, IN-PERSON MEETINGS
The following should be done synonymously with Steps 2 and 3 above:
1. Gather on a regular basis, and assist each other with learning the above documents and what it means to become a declared resident. Be sure to gather in-person as often as possible (weekly, bi-weekly), or as often as necessary to address the learning and needs of your county.
2. Once you have three people in your assembly who are Declared Residents, your meetings will become more formal. Because you are not a lawful assembly until you have at least three Declared Residents, any business of the assembly should be focused on education, only.
3.  Once you have three declared residents, then you will follow Roberts Rules of Order to conduct your meetings. (See the attached "Roberts Rules Made Simple".)
4.  Take official minutes of each meeting. (See sample "virginia dejure assembly minutes_6.18.24" attached.)
5.  Members should bring two others with them to each meeting, growing the assembly.

STEP 3: PUT YOUR COUNTY ASSEMBLY INTO A PMA (GROUP TRUST) SO THAT IT IS PROTECTED FROM THE DE FACTO!
  1. Determine your PMA name
  2. Design your logo, and then you’ll publish a notice of the PMA’s existence in your local newspaper – in the ‘legal’ section. It MUST be published in the legal section so that you can get a certification of publication. Please reach out to the state assembly for assistance, when you are ready to publish it.
  3. Create some kind of blog or website so that you can post things and information on it.
  4. While working on that, you also will need to develop a membership agreement for your PMA. A template is above (See sample "PMA membership template attached). You can also draw from https://amosmillerorganicfarm.com/membership-contract/?v=34f435c6b599  - this agreement is very clean and shows all of the elements you will need in yours…catered to what you are doing, of course, since you are not running a farm. Your PMA is an unincorporated PMA as you are not running a business out of it.
  5. Please also look at our PMA page https://virginiajuralassembly.com/index.html for an example of our PMA membership agreement.
  6. You can work on your by-laws after you’re set up. Please contact the state assembly for assistance.
* This step is very important, and may take a little more study and assistance, should you wish it. Contact the state assembly for assistance with this step.

STEP 4: ELECT ASSEMBLY OFFICERS
1.  When you have your assembly in a PMA, using the process for making motions outlined in Roberts Rules, you will elect a Chair(wo)man, Deputy Chair, Secretary and Treasurer. Record these elections in your meeting minutes.
2.  The Chair and/or Deputy Chair will run the meeting according to Roberts Rules of Order. (see attached "Roberts Rules Made Simple")
3.  The Secretary will be responsible for taking official minutes of each meeting and keeping a record of the minutes.
4.  The Treasurer will be responsible for assisting with the county's budget and money's. (This position may be needed initially for making a finance plan, and not for managing funds. )

STEP 5: GROW YOUR ASSEMBLY - work on this and the next steps synonymously 
1.  You want to have as many people as possible in your county, participating in the assembly. This will require each member inviting others to join each week.
2.  If everyone brings just one new person each week, the assembly will grow very quickly and will be able to support the efforts of governing the county.
3.  You will eventually want to have enough people to start forming committees that will cover the needs of the county. You will also eventually form your own courts and petit and grand juries.

STEP 6: BI-LATERAL SOCIAL COMPACT and GIVING PUBLIC NOTICE
This step is key to making your assembly a lawfully recognized body politic.  Your assembly will not be a lawful, governing body, if this step is not taken. It is what sets you apart from other assemblies or groups. It is what allows you to "throw off such Government and provide new guards for their future security".

Maxim of Law: First in line is first in time. If you are lawfully recognized by following the steps below, you will be able to operate parallel and eventually replace the current corporate de facto government who is operating under the color of law. There can be only one noticed assembly in the county. This step will give you lawful standing, and will allow your county to assist the state in claiming the trust that it is being held in. (Please see the attached "States - metes and Bounds" and "PMG Declaration of Chain of Title" in the files above).

The Bi-Lateral Social Compact is a trust that is set up by the people of your county and state. It gives notice to the de facto and to the public, that the people of your county (or state) will no longer be living in their system of tacit consent and slavery. Like the Declaration of Independence of 1776, the people of your county are going to "declare the causes which impel you to [the] separation" of your county government. This is done by giving notice of your bi-lateral social compact, to the public.

At the 2nd or 3rd meeting, you will work on editing the bi-lateral social compact for your county.  Please be aware that this document is under copyright and so you will want to contact the Virginia State dejure Assembly for assistance with editing it and putting it back under copyright for your county. Once this is completed, your assembly will publish it in the county newspaper. Once it is published, you will receive an affidavit of publication. This finalizes that your assembly is a functioning government...operating in parallel to the corporate government.  (You can see an example of this in the files above - "State of Ohio - official record".)

PLEASE NOTE: WHILE IS IT NOT REQUIRED, it is strongly encouraged that assemblies hang the Notice of Assembly on bulletin boards around the county, at libraries, or the post office, or in restaurants. This gets the word out that the assembly is organized and that you are looking for people to join!

STEP 7: CLAIM YOUR COUNTY SEAL AND COUNTY FLAG
In order to have chain of title for your county, you will need to bring forward the original county seal, and a flag. The flag is a symbol of the laws that your new government (assembly in compact) is living by. You will want to design a flag that represents the people of your county and their governing principles. The county seal ties your government to the original county government, as it was first established. You will use your seal on all governing documents, compacts and trusts. This seal has binding authority for all records you create. You will affix your county flag and seal at the top of your Bilateral Social Compact for publishing.

STEP 8: YOUR COUNTY CONSTITUTION - NOW THE WORK OF STRUCTURING YOUR COUNTY GOVERNMENT BEGINS!
After your county has settled its de jure assembly, the assembly will be able to begin the necessary work for cleaning up the bloated corporate 'government' that has been imposed on you and the people of your county. The by-laws or constitution of your PMA, set the framework for your new government in trust, under your Bilateral Social Compact. This will be the starting place for how you will structure your county government. It will be a living document that will be edited and changed as your assembly grows, and as your assembly begins to take the place of the corporate government. This is how you want your county government to look on paper. 

Start basic and small, but have a vision of your county’s potential. (See attached example "Formations, Operations and Functions" in the file section. This is not a completed example, but can give an idea of how to structure this document.)
It can include:
•  Officers of assembly and duties (Government positions you are going to fill)
•  Requirements for assembly membership
•  Duties, responsibilities and powers
•  Primary Functions Scope
•  Responsibilities of Sheriff
•  Responsibilities of Juries
•  Responsibilities of Militia
•  Removal of members
•  Other governing policies

STEP 9: BUILD YOUR COUNTY AND STATE ECONOMY
Each county has numerous resources of families, farms, small businesses and other local industries that you will want to recruit into your new 'body politic. The idea is to lean on them and each other for growing your communities, including like-minded individuals and families who's goal it is to live healthy and safe lives. Reaching out to these people and establishing working relationships of trust and equity with them, will help with this growth.  Work together with your assembly family to build your local nation.  

As always, the state assembly is here to support you and your county. Please lean on us with questions or concerns. We will be happy to walk you through this process and attend your first county meetings, if needed. The vision may feel far off, but the effort to set up your county governments is near and within reach! Trust in yourselves and our God! He will sustain and guide you.
