: : : [*][ I have recently come across a case filed in the Superior Court of Los Angeles documenting the repeal of the 1879 California Constitution. It does not exist and has not since 1970. I intend to follow up with the documentation they provide as evidence of the fact. If they did it here, they could have done it else where.] : : We found similar evidence in the implementing : statute for the 1879 California Constitution, : which statute had been repealed. : What else do you have on this key point? : Readers unfamiliar with this issue should : know that the original California state : Constitution was ratified by California : voters in the year 1849, when California : first joined the Union. : One of the signatories was Mr. Pablo de la : Guerra, who later became a California state : judge, and then Respondent in the case of : People v. De La Guerra, quoted in the book : "The Federal Zone." : The argument for the Respondent in that case : was published along with the California : Supreme Court's decision: it is here that : Judge De La Guerra correctly constructs : the meaning of "Citizen of the United States" : in the Qualifications Clauses. It means : "Citizen of ONE OF the States United", : because the term "United States" in these : Clauses means "States United" [sic]. : Other bibliographic evidence reiterates : the use of the term "ONE OF" to differentiate : the two classes of citizenship in America. : See also my analysis of certain clauses from : the 1849 California Constitution, in the : Petition for Leave to File Enlarged Brief, : in USA v. Gilbertson in the Supreme Law : Library, at URL: : http://supremelaw.com/library/usa_vs_gilbertson/replysup.html : Copies of the 1849 California Constitution : remain extant.
