Analyzing our nation's foundation for government

About The Dissection


Warning: The PDF's below will be extensively edited and presented in full length on the respective linked-to web pages.


  • Each section below, dissects (or annotates, if you prefer) each of our nation's (these united States of America) most important documents —right from the Beginning at 1776.

  • The inclusion of Locke and de Vattel, presented as being studied by many of the signing representatives, present generally accepted views about government right up until 1776 —when all that changed with The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America.

  • To know the meaning of the words used, we use dictionaries in publication, available for common use just a few years prior to the writing and or signing of that document, law, etc. being studied.

  • For the major portions of these dissections (The Declaration..., The Articles..., The Treaty..., as well as the main body of and the first ten amendments of The Constitution...) we use two Dictionaries of the English Language by Samuel Johnson. The first is a two-volume set, published in 1756. The second also is a two-volume set, published in 1785.
    • Why Samuel Johnson and not Noah Webster? Because Webster's first and second editions respectively were published about 1806 and 1826; some 20 to 50 years after the signing of several of the earliest documents.
    • Additionally, The National Achieves digitized these dictionaries and they were the first ones found that met the criteria of prior to charter contract dates, they were published, and they were available for common-use at the time.

  • Using after-the-fact dictionaries discredits a research --because definitions change over time; thus the newer definitions unethically amend the content-meaning.

The documents, from the beginning, include:

  • In the beginning.... ooops. Not that beginning.
  • John Locke - Second Treatise of Government - 1690
  • Emer de Vattel - The Law of Nations - 1758
​
  1. The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America - 1776
  2. The Articles of Confederation
  3. The Definitive Treaty of Peace
  4. The Constitution for the United States of America
  5. The Constitution for the Confederate States of America
