(9) The powers delegated by this Constitution, are appropriated to the Departments to which they are respectively distributed: so that the Legislative Department shall never exercise the powers vested in the Executive or judicial; nor the Executive exercise the powers vested in the Legislative or judicial; nor the judicial exercise the powers vested in the Legislative or Executive Department: to the end it may be a government of laws and not of men.

(13) To clarify the laws and statures of the Federation legal marriage shall consist only of the union of one man and one woman. The Congress shall not have the power to require that marital status, adoption, or the legal incidents thereof be conferred upon same sex or unmarried couples not meeting this requirement.

(8) No person or organization, public or private, shall be forced to perform any private or pubic activity if such activities are in conflict against their religious beliefs.

A State may, by law, conduct background checks on gun buyers before purchase provided that said background check does not exceed one business day, allow a mandatory sales transaction if no negative information is discovered, and all said records of positive background checks are immediately purged from all databases and lists. Only the actual cost incurred by the investigating authority may be charged for processing background checks.

(4) Every person shall have the inherent and natural right of defending their own or another's life, liberty, or property using whatever force is necessary, through whatever means available, including the use of deadly force; therefore any person who lawfully uses any weapon in self-defense shall not be liable for any crime or lawsuit, civil or criminal; nor shall a person have a duty to retreat if they are at home or place of business, in a vehicle, or at any other place where they have a right to be; nor shall arms be taken from any lawful person during times of national emergencies or within disaster areas.

(5) The rights of the People to hunt, compete in firearm competitions, trap, and fish are a valued part of our heritage and shall be forever preserved to the People, subject only to reasonable regulation as prescribed by the State Legislature (except on Federal property in which case the Congress shall regulate), and shall be free of unlawful harassment by the government or other persons. Consistent with the public trust to conserve birds, fish, game and wildlife, traditional methods may be used to take non-threatened species traditionally pursued. Public hunting, fishing and trapping shall be the preferred means of managing and controlling non-threatened wildlife consistent with the duties of the Federal Government and States to protect this heritage and their duty to conserve wild animals, birds, and fish on public lands. Nothing in this Clause shall be construed to modify any provision of common law or statutes relating to trespass, eminent domain, or any other property rights.

(6) The bearing or use of arms for target practice or hunting, trapping, or fishing may be prohibited or regulated on private property only by the property holder but no person, property owner, tenant, employer, or business entity shall establish any policy or rule that has the effect of prohibiting any person who can lawfully process firearms from transporting and storing firearms secured or locked in private vehicles on any property set aside for parking nor shall the aforementioned property owner be liable in any civil or criminal action for any firearm related crime or accident by an employee, visitor, or another third party on private property except if the property or owners are involved in a crime.

(7) The bearing of arms may be prohibited or regulated within sensitive public enclosures approved by legislation provided that provision shall be made to safely secure such arms before entering.

(8) No person exercising their rights under this Section shall have their right to keep and bear arms denied without due process and the Federal Government, any State, or any political subdivision may create a nationwide database listing those persons denied the right to keep and bear arms regardless of any other laws that may impede the creation and maintenance of said database.

(9) Any manufacturer, supplier, seller, or producer of arms and ammunition shall not be held liable without fault for the deliberate misuse of said arms and ammunition nor if used in a crime.

(10) Notwithstanding any other provision of law or of this Section, the name of a veteran or other person suffering from a mental disability may be made available to an instant background check database only pursuant to a finding of a Judge, magistrate, or other judicial authority. It shall be unlawful for any background check database to maintain the name of any person or veteran (who was discharged under honorable conditions) and who has not been subject to a finding of a Judge, magistrate, or other judicial authority pursuant to the provision of law or of this Section and shall removed within ninety days upon his petition in a Court.

Section 1.5.

Evidence obtained in violation of this clause shall not be admissible in any Court against any person.

(4) The burden of proving guilt, both mens rea and actus rea, on any matter; civil, tax, or criminal; shall be on the government. Prosecutors shall follow the rules of strict construction in that if there is a reasonable doubt as to interpretation of laws, the doubt shall be resolved in favor of the accused. Prosecutors shall not use any form of strict criminal liability or "responsible corporate Officer" doctrine or maium prohibitum; nor shall a person be put on trial for the same offense after a verdict of not guilty through the use of concurrent and successive prosecutions by Federation or State agencies.

(5) No person shall be held to answer for a capital or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the Armed Forces, National Guard, or State Militia when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor be compelled, in any criminal case, to be a witness against himself; nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.

A person not found guilty of a crime shall not be assessed fees or costs to recover property seized as evidence or otherwise held, impounded, or stored by the government and may recover all his expenses incurred on behalf of his defense and cost of repair or replacement for damaged property. Any DNA samples that may have been taken from the person upon arrest or investigation but not found guilty or not accused of any crimes shall be destroyed.

(7) The Federal Government, any State, or any political subdivision shall not have the power to seize any private property or any other type of asset forfeiture from a person not convicted of any crime. Nor shall private property or any other type of asset forfeiture be seized from a person convicted of a crime that was not a fruit of the said crime. Forfeiture of assets can only be enforced after conviction of the property owner as a penalty for the crime and property and assets may be forcibly sold for fair compensation to satisfy any fines, Court fees, or compensation with any monies left over returned to the defendant. Such forfeitures shall follow full due process of law under criminal prosecution standards.

Section 1.6.

(1) In any criminal trial, the Court shall inform the jury of its right to judge both law and facts in reaching a verdict. The Court shall also inform jurors deciding civil trials of their right to judge the law as well as the facts whenever the government or any agent of the government is a party to the trial. Failure to inform the jury, or any other infraction of the rules of procedure, is grounds for mistrial and another trial by a new jury or dismissal of charges.

(2) The prosecution shall prove, in the presence of the jury, that the Court has jurisdiction in the case before the main trial begins.

(3) The presiding Judge shall not forbid the defense to inform juries of their right and power to decide the law, or to penalize them for doing so and the defense may be ruled incompetent if it does not inform the jury of its right and power to decide the law, or to raise the issue of jurisdiction of the Court in the case.

(7) The jury shall be allowed to ask questions of the presiding Judge or any party, including amicus filers, on any pertinent matter, and get answers to those questions.

(8) In all criminal prosecutions in which the law in question contradicts the principles of this Constitution or which the government or any of its agents has violated this Constitution to obtain evidence or to establish a conviction, or if the prosecution suppresses evidence favorable to a defendant or withholds exculpatory evidence, the case may be dismissed or the jurors be encouraged to acquit.

Section 1.7.

(1) The sovereign authority and the Legislative power of Citizens to enact, repeal, and amend public policy, laws, charters, and constitutions by local, State, and national initiatives or referendums shall not be denied or abridged by the Federal Government or any State.

If a two-thirds majority of votes favors the referendum, it shall be fully implemented within one year; otherwise it shall be rejected with no further action nor shall it be re-petitioned for a period of five years.

(3) A referendum may repeal any law passed by the Congress, make a law provided that said law is not in violation of this Constitution, remove from office any appointed official or Federal Judge, amend this Constitution or ratify or withdraw a pending or extant Article of Amendment to this Constitution. Such referenda are not subject to review by the Congress or any Court nor a presidential veto.

(2) Private property shall not be taken from one owner and transferred to another on the grounds that the public may benefit from a more profitable private use nor shall taken property be made available for profitable private use for a period of twenty years after the taking except if sold back to the original owners or their heirs. Whenever an attempt is made to take property for a use alleged to be public, the question whether the contemplated is truly public shall be a judicial question, and determined as such without regard to any Legislative assertion that the use is public.

(3) If any non-tax or non-penalty action by the Federal or State government or any of its agencies or political subdivisions reduces the fair market value of real or personal private property, the owner of said property shall have a claim against the Federal or State government or relevant agency or political subdivision for compensation for such loss, except that no compensation shall be required as follows:

(4) If the action results merely in a diminution of the value of the property but does not otherwise destroy, damage, trespass upon, or take the property or prohibit any rightful use of the property; or

(5) If the action prohibits uses of the property that are injurious or potentially injurious to others or to the public, as defined by zoning laws, common law, statute, regulation, or rule, provided that such injurious or potentially injurious uses shall not be construed to include uses the prohibition of which would confer a benefit on others or on the public, for which compensation is required under this Section; or

(7) This Section applies to all non-tax and all non-penalty statutes, regulations, rules, administrative decisions, and judicial.

Section 1.12.

(1) All rights as set forth by this Constitution shall not be construed to apply to any corporation, business entity, association, or other fictitious entity but only to natural persons. Corporations, business entities, unions, associations, or other fictitious entities are the creations of the States who charter them, and therefore are subject to the jurisdiction of the States only with the rights granted to them in their Charters and the laws of the State where they are incorporated.

(2) The individual States may, by law, limit the lifetime of a corporation or business entity or revoke its charter and the individual States shall reserve the exclusive rights to grant charters of incorporation, establish any reasonable restriction upon the activities of chartered entities, revoke with or without cause the charter of any fictitious entity, and establish duration of such charters.

(6) International, multinational, transnational, or other non-governmental agencies, bodies, or organizations may have the power to restrict, regulate, or tax chartered or licensed entities engaged in international commerce according to treaties and other international agreements. The Congress may impose additional restrictions and regulations on the activities of corporations, associations, and fictitious entities but the Congress shall not allow them to usurp or overrule the rights, laws, restrictions, and regulations of the individual chartering or licensing States or of any political subdivision of the States or of their Citizens. Nor shall the Congress or any international, multinational, transnational, or non-governmental entity take away or limit the rights of individual Citizens of the several States (in whom ultimate sovereignty rests) to bring action against chartered or licensed entities and to seek redress of grievances.

(7) Within ten years after adoption of this Constitution all corporations or business entities shall be in full compliance with this Section but this Section shall not apply to residential or other non-commercial land owned by foreign persons for private use or domestic businesses or homes owned by resident aliens.

(3) The Armed Forces or National Guard shall at all times be subordinate to the civil authority and shall never be placed under the direct command of any international organization or foreign nation.

(4) The Armed Forces (Coast Guard, National Guard, or State Militia not called to national service excluded) shall not, in whole or part, be deployed as any part of a posse comitatus, or otherwise, for the purpose of executing the laws, except in such cases and under such circumstances as such employment of said force may be expressly provided for by this Constitution or by act of Congress.

(5) The President shall prescribe such regulations as may be necessary to ensure that any activity (including the provision of any equipment or facility or the assignment or detail of any personnel) under this Section does not include or permit direct participation by a member of the Armed Forces in a search, seizure, arrest, or other similar activity unless participation in such activity is otherwise authorized by law.

(6) Within the restrictions of this Constitution the Defense Department, with the approval of the State or States involved, shall be the lead Federal agent in any natural or manmade disaster except in an act of war or terrorism.

Section 1.14.

(1) No license, permit, or any other form of prior permission shall be required by the Federation to engage in any lawful activity except as provided for by this Constitution or a law made by the Legislature of a State which expressly requires the same.

(2) All such laws shall enumerate the grounds upon which the permission is deniable, which enumeration shall be construed as exhaustive, and which grounds shall be objective; and if no such grounds are enumerated, then no permission required under that law shall be denied. Likewise, all such laws shall enumerate the grounds upon which the permission is revocable, which enumeration shall be construed as exhaustive, and which grounds shall be objective; and if no such grounds are enumerated, then no permission required under that law shall be revoked. The burden of proof for denial or revocation shall rest on the authority so doing.

(3) Engaging in an activity without the required permission shall be a crime only in the specific instances where the permission was lawfully deniable in the particular case in question, where the permission has been duly revoked, or public safety is threatened.

(4) No person shall be required to surrender any documents pertaining to a granted permission, except when revoked for cause. Officials desiring to examine said documents may only require that they be displayed.

(5) Only the actual cost incurred by the issuing authority shall be charged for processing permit and license requests.

Section 1.15.

(1) Personal autonomy and the right to privacy, life, and liberty from the moment of fertilization to natural death without regard to age, health, or condition of dependency is a paramount and fundamental right of a person. Therefore any unrestricted right to abortion, assisted suicide, or euthanasia is not secured by this Constitution.

(2) The Congress and the several States shall have the concurrent power to restrict or prohibit abortion, assisted suicide, or euthanasia provided that a law of a State which is more restrictive than a law of Congress shall govern.

(3) No person shall clone or attempt to clone a human being, nor shall no human blastocyst be produced by fertilization solely for the purpose of stem cell or other research, nor shall any human genes be combined with any non-human genes.

Section 1.16.

(1) Except upon valid warrants, to protect state secrets, or orders issued by a Court of law in compliance with this Constitution all information related to all aspects of the life of an person is the sole private property of that person and no entity; private, public, or government; may collect, transfer, or destroy any such information without the express legal authorization of that person, their authorized heirs, agents, or successors. Persons shall have a right to full access to information, files, and records that any entity may keep on individuals and to file rebuttals to correct any errors or false information within. Entities shall insure that records shall not be released to third parties without permission of the person or persons cited. Appropriate security measures shall be taken against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, and accidental loss or destruction of personal records.

(2) Any record created by any public entity, excluding third party requests of records of a personal nature that pertains to an individual not giving his consent for release, ongoing criminal investigations, or state secrets, shall be made available for public inspection and the public entity may charge a fee that shall not exceed the actual costs of release within ninety days of request.

(3) During any transaction the personal information of one individual shall not be obtained by a second individual or organization without the expressed consent of the first.
