​The Governments Are Corporations Perspective​:

making government easy to comprehend

​People are familiar with basic corporation functions; such as hiring, firing, as well as ownership and control. Yet, many of these people believe that government is too complex to simplify.

The founding generation most likely possessed the government as corporation perspective as we see many of the quoting John Locke from the 1600's; Emer de Vattel from the 1700's; and the Samuel Johnson dictionaries from the 1700's.

Locke and Vattel are known for their respective writings about nearly all things government. The dictionaries show how most anyone in 1776 may have defined government.
John Locke, from his 1690; Second Treatise of Government:
​
​Chapter 8: Sect. 95. "When any number of men have so consented to make one community or government, they are thereby presently incorporated, and make one body politic, wherein the majority have a right to act and conclude [for] the rest."

Chapter 8: Sect. 106. ..."that the beginning of politic society depends upon the consent of the individuals, to join into, and make one society; who, when they are thus incorporated, might set up what form of government they thought fit."
Emeric de Vattel, from his 1758: The Law of Nations:
​
​"§ 248. All the members of a corporation have an equal right to the use of its common property. But, respecting the manner of enjoying it, the body of the corporation may make such regulations as they think proper, provided that those regulations be not inconsistent with that equality which ought to be preserved in a communion of property."

"§ 252. The nation, the corporation, and, in general, every collective body, may also establish extraordinary taxes, imposts, or annual contributions, to defray those expenses,..."
The 1756 Dictionary
​
Johnsons 1756 dictionary uses the same words as Locke and Vattel, proving that governments should be viewed as corporations  (definition images can be viewed at the Glossary page).

​
  Corporate:

  Corporation:
A body politick, authorized to have a common seal, one head officer or more, able by their common consent, to grant or receive in law, any thing within the compass of their charter: even as one man.

  Government:

Each definition uses one or more of the other four words as part of its own definition. Underlining above was added to emphasize the circular definitions.
This perspective Simplifies search for the correct Government Charters

​The names for each government's corporate charters varies around the planet. The two primary charters serve different purposes. Knowing the purpose for each helps find the correct charter.


The first charter organizes the con­cerned parties into a single entity of owners, controllers, and financers; who are personally responsible for the corporation (or government in this instance). This is the contract that is an enforceable law among the owners, controllers, and finan­ciers of the government-corporation they create.

With government, as it relates to these united States of America; this charter is: The unanimous Declaration of the united States of America.


The second charter organizes the structure of the business end of the corporation, the part referred to as 'the government'; creating its offices and specifying the officer's duties.

These united States of America have two such charters. The first; The Articles of Confederation. It was replaced with; The Constitution of the United States of America.

The owners and controllers use this charter to contract with and to bind the government officers to certain limited activity and for measuring the qualifications of the prospective officers in the elections hiring process. They also use this charter - contract to measure the officer's performance with respect to whether a firing election -Recall- is necessary in order to remove them from office before their contract expires; stopping any damage they are causing.

Government officers are authorized by these charters, to a limited degree, to make laws that regulate citizen behavior.

These two charters start the short paper trail for every law or other government activity.
