I. Introduction — One of The Greatest Legal Lies Ever Sold
For over a century, Americans have been indoctrinated to believe the 13th and 14th Amendments represent freedom.
They do not.
They are the legal architecture of a corporate slave system — the quiet conversion of living men and women into bonded collateral for a bankrupt government corporation.
The Treaty of Ghent (1814, ratified 1815) — a binding treaty and supreme law of the land under Article VI, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution — abolished all forms of slavery, human trafficking, peonage, and involuntary labor without exception.
Yet decades later, Congress defied that treaty:
-
In 1865, the 13th Amendment re-legalized slavery “as punishment for crime,” resurrecting penal bondage and compelled performance in direct conflict with the Treaty of Ghent.
-
In 1868, the 14th Amendment was forced through by military occupation, not lawful ratification, and manufactured a fictional class of “U.S. citizens” — corporate franchises presumed to be voluntary sureties for federal debt, subject to perpetual regulation, licensing, taxation, and performance obligations.
This was not emancipation.
It was enslavement by contract and presumption — wrapped in patriotic theater and enforced under color of law.
What they called “freedom” was the largest legal fraud in American history.
And under black-letter law, it is already void.
-
The Supremacy Clause (Art. VI, Cl. 2) makes treaties superior to all statutes and amendments.
-
The Treaty of Ghent came first and still stands — any later act that imposes peonage, compelled performance, penal bondage, or debt servitude is legally repugnant and without force.
-
The Ninth and Tenth Amendments forbid Congress from seizing undelegated power or trampling inherent rights.
-
And as the Supreme Court ruled in Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. (1 Cranch) 137 (1803):
“All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void.”
Therefore, the 13th and 14th Amendments — being repugnant to higher law and directly enabling peonage and compelled performance — are void ab initio.
They never had lawful force.
They survive only by deception, presumption, and intimidation — not by law.
II. The Lie Everyone Was Taught
Americans are told the 13th Amendment ended slavery and the 14th made everyone equal.
This is pure legal theater.
-
The 13th bans only “involuntary” servitude and explicitly allows slavery “as a punishment for crime.”
-
The 14th created a brand-new class of “citizens of the United States” — an ens legis corporate franchise — and forcibly imposed it on the population under military occupation.
That isn’t liberation.
It is the conversion of living men and women into bonded corporate property — enforced by presumption, not contract.
III. The 14th Was Never Lawfully Ratified
Here’s the dagger:
-
In 1867–68, many southern legislatures lawfully rejected the 14th.
-
Congress responded by declaring their governments “illegal,” overthrowing them by military force, and seating puppet regimes to ram the amendment through.
-
Congress barred their senators from Congress until they ratified under duress.
This is textbook coercion and fraud, voiding the entire act.
A constitutional amendment requires ratification by three-fourths of lawful states — not military puppets.
The 14th is void ab initio. It only exists by presumption and intimidation.
IV. The 13th Is Repugnant to Higher Law
Even if the 13th were valid, it is legally null because:
-
It permits slavery “as punishment for crime” — a system of penal bondage.
-
Yet the Treaty of Ghent (1814, ratified 1815) Article 10 — which is supreme law under Article VI, Clause 2 — abolished all slavery and human trafficking without exception.
The hierarchy is clear:
Treaty > Constitution > Statutes.
So when the 13th authorized what the Treaty prohibited, it became repugnant and void.
V. The “Supremacy Clause” Obliterates Them
Article VI, Clause 2:
“This Constitution… and all Treaties made… shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby…”
-
Treaties are the highest law.
-
The Treaty of Ghent binds Congress, the courts, and every state.
-
No amendment, statute, or agency rule can contradict it.
The 13th and 14th both do.
And as the Supreme Court ruled in Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. (1 Cranch) 137 (1803):
“All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void.”
That principle applies here:
Repugnant “laws” are void from inception — as if they never existed.
VI. The Fraud They Engineered
Here’s how the machine works:
-
The 13th made slavery “voluntary.”
-
The 14th created the legal fiction (ens legis) called the “U.S. citizen.”
-
Every man and woman is presumed to act as surety for that fiction, signing, registering, and licensing themselves into voluntary debt servitude — not as sovereigns, but as corporate franchises.
Every time you sign a tax return, endorse a check, or register property, you are consenting — unknowingly — to act as the bonded surety for a bankrupt corporate fiction that the 14th invented and the IRS harvests.
This is not freedom. It is commercialized slavery — wrapped in flags and false history.
VII. The Bottom Line
-
The 14th was never lawfully ratified — it is a legal nullity.
-
The 13th is repugnant to the Treaty of Ghent, which is supreme law and abolished all forms of slavery.
-
Under Article VI, the Ninth and Tenth Amendments, and Marbury v. Madison,
both are void ab initio.
Slavery was never abolished.
It was corporatized, contractualized, and disguised as citizenship.
VIII. The Remedy
-
-
Rebut all presumptions of “U.S. citizen” status — declare on the record that you are not the surety for any federal legal fiction (ens legis) and do not consent to be treated as collateral for any corporate debt obligation.
-
Invoke the Treaty of Ghent and the Supremacy Clause (Art. VI, Cl. 2) in all proceedings — demand strict proof of any valid, signed, fully disclosed contract binding you to perform as a federal “citizen” or debtor.
-
Expose the 14th Amendment’s fraudulent ratification and declare the 13th repugnant to higher law (Treaty of Ghent), rendering their entire framework void ab initio.
-
Refuse adhesion contracts, licenses, and registrations that silently conscript you into servitude — including driver’s licenses, voter registrations, and Social Security numbers — unless expressly conditioned as “without prejudice” (UCC § 1-308).
-
Reject the presumption that “minimum contacts” equals consent. Merely existing, traveling, or doing commerce on the land is not voluntary submission to a corporate jurisdiction.
The doctrine of “minimum contacts” is a judicial fiction invented to fabricate jurisdiction where no contract exists, and when enforced through threats, penalties, or denial of basic necessities, it is coercion — not consent.
Consent obtained by coercion is void.
-
IX. The Verdict
The 13th and 14th Amendments are not sacred pillars of liberty — they are the legal scaffolding of servitude.
They are fraudulent instruments of enslavement, engineered to convert sovereign men and women into bonded sureties for a bankrupt corporate state.
They are repugnant to the Constitution, inferior to the Treaty of Ghent (1814–1815) — the supreme law of the land under Article VI, Clause 2 — and void ab initio under Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137 (1803), which holds that any law repugnant to the Constitution is null and void.
They were never valid. They are not binding. They survive only by deception and intimidation — not by law.
The Republic was never theirs to sell.
It is yours to reclaim.
