Original Amendment XIII
By Drake
Passed by Congress May 1, 1810 "If any citizen of the United States
shall accept, claim, receive, or retain any title of nobility or
honour, or shall without the consent of Congress, accept
and retain any present, pension, office, or emolument of any kind whatever, to be a citizen of the united States, and shall be incapable of holding any office of trust or profit under them, or either of them."
After winning our independence from Great Britain, the
United States became alarmed that agents representing the interest of
foreign powers were meddling in our internal affairs. International
Bankers, lawyers and other opportunists were using their money to
purchase special benefits and privileges from the government officials.
In order to prevent the corruption, the Senate and the House approved of
a 13th amendment in 1810. This Amendment prohibited government
officials from taking bribes in exchange for political favors.
The Amendment prohibited anyone from receiving a Title of Nobility
or receiving any honor or entitlement that would not be available to all
Americans. Lawyers were prohibited from serving as elected officials
while they were active members of a BAR Association. The proponents of
the Amendment did not believe that a Lawyer, being an officer of the
Court should simultaneous serve as a member of both the Judicial and
Legislative Branches of Government.
The Friends of Liberty Radio Show for Thursday, August 9, 2012 will
include a thorough presentation on this incredible story about an
Amendment that was lawfully ratified was expunged from the Constitution
while the people slept.
