These two classes correspond, via jus soli, to the state and federal zones, respectively. The Guarantee Clause does not guarantee a Republican Form of Government to the federal zone, only to the state zone. Congress cannot alter the meaning of any terms used in the Constitution, and the Qualifications Clauses have never been amended. See 1:2:2, 1:3:3, and 2:1:5. Therefore, federal citizenship associates one with a political jurisdiction which is not guaranteed a Republican Form of Government. Congress has been free to create a legislative democracy for that zone, and the second class of citizenship which it created is a municipal franchise, which can be taxed and regulated like any other franchise. State Citizenship, as recognized in the Qualifications Clauses, cannot be taxed or regulated, because it is not a franchise; it is a fundamental Right. See "Right/Constitutional Rights/Political Rights" in Black's Law Dictionary, e.g. the right of citizenship, that of suffrage, the right to hold public office, and the right of petition. We have cases to prove all of the points which I have made above. They are assembled in Gilbertson's OPENING BRIEF. /s/ Paul Mitchell http://www.supremelaw.com At 12:28 PM 8/9/97 -0400, you wrote: >Paul et alii: > >Although never argued before the Supreme Court, the Court announced that >it was of the opinion that under the 14th amendment, corporations were >citizens.
