What is a LICENSE?
In the law of contracts. A permission, accorded by a competent authority, conferring the right to do
some act which without such authorization would be illegal, or would be a trespass or a tort.
(Blacks Law Dictionary)
These are things that give the state / government authority over you. It is the contracts that they make
with you to control you.
• Marriage license
• Driver's license
• Law license
• Medical license
• Fishing license
• Hunting license
• Business license
The list goes on and on add infinitum. The Constitution does not require that you have any of these
licenses to do all of that, that is listed above. It is one way for the government to contract with you and
give you permission to do what you already have permission to do. And of course there's a fee attached
to all of those and all of those can be stripped from you. Whereas your constitutional rights cannot be
taken away.
"The idea prevails with some, indeed it has expression in arguments at the bar, that we have in
this country substantially two national governments; one to be maintained under the
Constitution, with all its restrictions; the other to be maintained by Congress outside and
independently of that instrument, by exercising such powers as other nations of the earth are
accustomed to... I take leave to say that, if the principles thus announced should ever receive
the sanction of a majority of this court, a radical and mischievous change in our system will
result. We will, in that event, pass from the era of constitutional liberty guarded and protected
by a written constitution into an era of legislative absolutism... It will be an evil day for
American Liberty if the theory of a government outside the Supreme Law of the Land finds
lodgment in our Constitutional Jurisprudence. No higher duty rests upon this court than to
exert its full authority to prevent all violation of the principles of the Constitution."
