The term "Sovereign Citizen" is a derogatory and weaponized label and propaganda used to describe men or women who claim sovereignty but lack a full understanding of the legal distinctions between public and private law, as outlined in CFR § 27.11 and Article 1, Section 8, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution. While these individuals may attempt to reserve their rights and operate independently, they often misuse legal terminology and fail to create unsworn declarations compliant with 28 U.S. Code § 1746. They misunderstand critical concepts like jurisdiction, contract law, and administrative procedures, and they incorrectly mix public and private law, leaving them unable to effectively assert and protect their rights under UCC § 1-308.
A "U.S. citizen" is a type of ens legis, which is a legal entity or artificial person created by the State. This "ens legis" operates exclusively in the public realm, where all interactions and activities are governed by statutory rules, regulations, and commercial laws. It is essentially the player piece needed to navigate the public side of society, as everything in the public is commercial in nature. The "U.S. citizen" is not a living, breathing individual but rather a fictional entity similar to a company, trust, corporation, or other artificial construct recognized by the State.
