Article II.II: Rule of Law

“The Production of Markets of Cooperation”

RULE OF LAW BY NATURAL LAW

Constitutions for all forms of government, and their dependent Acts and Laws, can be constructed from the test of reciprocity if such constitutions are constructed truthfully, operationally, and completely – because contracts for rights and obligations may produce different sets of trades of rights and obligations that cumulative effect may be sufficiently agreeable that the incentive is insufficient to oppose it.

Inclusion and Exclusion (oath):

( … )

Limits:

( … ) ability, voluntary, oath, charity/crisis, war

On Via Negativa and Via Positiva in Law

( … ) Via Positiva, meaning “By the Positive: addition, prescription, justification”

( … ) Via Negativa, meaning  “By the Negative: removal, prohibition (proscription), falsification”

Reciprocity provides a via-negativa logic of decidability that prohibits that which is harmful or false, and leaving open the option of anything that is not harmful and not false.

On Ethics, Morality, Law  (define) (spectrum)

( … )

Consequences: Equilibrium (Market) of Genetic Interests:

Rule of Law by Natural Law Creates Adversarial Competition, Maintaining an Equilibrium, Between Reproductive Interests of the Martial (dominant male), Commercial (ascendant male), and Social (feminine familial) such that none is parasitic upon the others, satisfying the demand for Oneness in War, Markets in Cooperation, Plurality in Family.

On Necessity of Transactional Natural Law

( … )

On Necessity of Strict Construction of Acts from First Principles of Natural Law

( … )

Consequences: Continuous Recursive Adaptation to Natural Law by Incremental Suppression of Irreciprocity that Violates Natural Law

( … )

Sovereignty Under Law

Where;

Rule of Law by Reciprocity (Natural Law – Non-Imposition, the Law of Polities for Sovereigns, Wherein the Law is Sovereign.
Rule of Law by the Natural Law of Reciprocity (Logical), or “concrete” definition that must preserve reciprocity, rendering all disputes decidable, and all findings of law, regulation, and legislation, and all contracts under them decidable.

Reciprocity provides a Formal Logic of Universal Juridical Decidability; Creates Law that is a Statement of FACT; The Natural Law is Sovereign and Immutable, and therefore all members of the polity are individually and collectively sovereign.

And Where;

Man Invents Pretenses of Law to Evade the Natural Law:

1. Rule By Law (By Conformity to Rights, The Law of Commerce for Freemen, Wherein Enumerated Rights Are Sovereign, Not Law.
Rule by Law: a “Substantive” (Skeptical) or “thick” definition. Rule by Law by Rights provides a Rational method of juridical decidability. Substantive (Skeptical) conceptions of the rule of law include certain substantive rights that are said to be based on, or derived from, the rule of law. The substantive interpretation holds that the rule of law intrinsically must protect some or all individual rights – rights that can be articulated – but that need not be reciprocal or internally consistent.

Rule of Law by Conformity to Rights produces findings of law that are Rational Judgements given unavoidable inconsistencies.

2. Rule By Legislation (by Agreement between a Group, The Law of Society for Serfs, Wherein the Legislative Institution is Sovereign, Not Rights or Law.
Rule by Law: a “Formalist”: (Optimistic) or “thin” definition, that must not preserve any such rights, and that either the state or the people are unlimited in their imposition of  ….   Rule by Legislation is a Formalist (Optimistic) definitions of the rule of law do not make a judgment about the “justness” of law itself, but define specific procedural attributes that a legal framework must have in order to be in compliance with the rule of law. The formalist interpretation holds that the rule of law has purely formal characteristics, meaning that the law must be publicly declared, with prospective application, and possess the characteristics of generality, equality, and certainty, but there are no requirements with regard to the content of the law. In addition, some theorists hold that democracy(majority) can circumvent both procedure and rights, or construct new rights (rather than privileges).Formalism allows laws the pretense of claiming rule of law when rights are not protected by including countries that do not necessarily have such laws protecting democracy or individual rights in the scope of the definition of  “rule of law”. The “formal” interpretation is more widespread than the “substantive” interpretation. Formalists hold that the law must be prospective, well-known, and have characteristics of generality, equality, and certainty. Other than that, the formal view contains no requirements as to the content of the law.

Rule of Law by Legislation produces findings of law that are Reasonable given the inconsistency of the basis for laws.

3. Rule by Man, By Arbitrary Discretion by Individuals. The Law of Feud and Manor for Slaves, Wherein Administrative Discretion is Sovereign, not Legislature, Rights, or Law
A “Functional” (Fictional) or “ultra-thin” definition.The functional (Fictional) interpretation of the term “rule of law”, consistent with the traditional English meaning, contrasts the “rule of law” with the “rule of man.” According to the functional argument, a society in which government officers have a great deal of discretion has a low degree of “rule of law”, whereas a society in which government officers have little discretion has a high degree of “rule of law”. Rule of Man’s Arbitrary Discretion requires neither formal process nor substantial rights be respected, and allows government officials great and possibly unlimited ‘discretion’, but not necessarily the judiciary or the people.

Rule of law by Arbitrary Discretion produces findings of law that are Arbitrary.

( Counsel:  The ancient concept of Rule OF law can and shall be distinguished from rule BY law, in that, under the rule OF law, the law serves as a check against the abuse of power by the judiciary and the state, and rule of law by the Natural Law of  Reciprocity (“Natural Law”) serves as a check against the government, the judiciary, and the people. Under rule BY law, findings of the court, regulation, legislation, and commands are enforced as if law a mere tool for a government, that oppresses the population a using legislation as justification for arbitrary commands – a means of violating rights. Under Rule of Man, there are no checks on power to violate rights.   As such there is only one Rule of Law: Self Determination by Sovereignty and Reciprocity, and all other pretenses are not rule of law, but judgments of some number of Men, with varying degrees of consistency and given force of law, by organized violence to do so. )

Positiva (Prescriptive, Demand) and Negativa(Proscriptive, Prohibition) Law

Differences between The Common Anglo Empirical Market Law Between Equals vs Continental Bureaucratic Law Between Rulers and Subjects

Where;

( … ) a relationship between men, a relationship between men and the state.

( … )

( … ) The Common Law : The Via-Negativa law of Sovereigns

Demonstrated interests by Possession, Property, Right, and Title

Where;

    1. Opportunity: any interest that Man my wish to acquire through investment that has not yet been invested in by others.
    2. Possession: Possession is a Fact. Possessions are Personally insured. Consisting of that which one has acted to prevent others from consumption or use.

    4. Property Rights: Property Rights are dependent upon the existence of an institution that enforces rights and obligations in matters of disputes.
    5. Title …..

Insurance of Demonstrated Interests

The Uninsured:

Natural Right: Reciprocity.

Desired Right: A right that you wish to possess if you can find (a) a party to exchange it with you and (b) an enforcer (insurer) of those rights once you negotiated them.

The Self Insured:

Consensual Right: (from promise to formal document)

The Collectively Insured:

Normative Right: (norms, manners, ethics, morals),

The Institutionally Insured (enforceable):

Right (Legal Right) : a contractual obligation by another party to perform some actions, and refrain from other actions

      • Findings of Law proper (discovered),
      • Legislation (negotiated),
      • Regulation (issued)
      • Command (commanded)

Enforceable Rights: Enforceable Rights exist only when

      • (a) obtained in contractual exchange, and;
      • (b) are enforceable in matters of dispute by a third party ‘insurer’.
      • (c) the insurer being the court, government, police, sheriff, people or other enforcer.

The Institutional Privileges

( … )

Artificial Right (or Political Privilege)

      • Negative Right: a contractual obligation by another party to refrain from actions: to forgo opportunities for gains. The only rights we can reciprocally grant each other are negative, because we can only equally possess the ability to refrain from action.
      • Positive Right: a contractual obligation by another party to perform actions: to bear costs, and to forgo opportunity for ‘defection’ (cheating).

The International Ambitions

Human Rights : Those Institutional rights necessary for human freedom from political predation, that any government must seek to produce for its citizens if that government wishes to preserve its sovereignty from actions against it by those signatories of the contract for human rights: the insurers of last resort.

Human rights were an attempt by western nations in the post-colonial and post-war era to set the terms by which governments would respect the sovereignty(esp. borders) of other governments, in an attempt to limit countries to internal development rather than expansionary war; to prevent another world war; to contain the horrors of communism; to contain the horrors of Islamism; to prevent the continuing horrors of primitive and developing countries; and to direct the purpose of government exclusively to the improvement of the condition of those under it’s dominion.

Violations of Rights (define common crimes under each)

    • Regulation (specific rules of compliance enforcing general objectives of policy)
    • Infraction (insurer, exporting of risk)
    • Conduct (mis-de-mean’-or, violations of conduct that create or export risk)
    • Freeriding (failures of duty and due diligence in all their forms, privatization of commons, socialization of losses.)
    • Rent-Seeking,
    • Hazard (drugs, weapons, explosives, bioweapons, misinformation, untruths.)
    • Parasitism (Fraud, Conspiracy, blackmail), False Promise and Baiting into Hazard
    • Passion (Defense of honor; Defense of mate, family, kin; Defense of friends/assoc. )
    • Predation (theft, harm, murder for gain)
    • Evil (harm for the purpose of satisfaction by harm alone)
    • Sedition
    • Treason (War)

Where Acting as:

    • individuals,

    • groups

And Where Acting or Failing to Act By: 

    • failure of due diligence

    • Felony (more than one year and more than 1/5 of the median household income)
    • Capital Crime (death penalty)
    • Sedition or Treason

And Where Law Demands;

    • Restitution regardless of intent

    • Prevention of Imitation
    • Insurance of Others

From;

    • Individuals,
    • Individuals or groups in the interest of groups,
    • Groups

Closing (Summary)

There is only one of rule of law under which none can override natural rights (transcendence, sovereignty of life, liberty, property,  under reciprocity, truth, duty, and markets.)

Rule by legislation allows either the state, or the body politic to override those rules.

And rule by man allows arbitrary discretion on the part of officials (members of the monopoly bureaucracy).
