62. No Treason: The Constitution Of No Authority by Lysander Spooner. I. The Constitution has no inherent authority or obligation. It has no authority or obligation at all, unless as a contract between man http://tmh.floonet.net/articles/notreas.html

From the archives of The Memory Hole Individualist Anarchism: Taking Aim At the Underpinnings The following is the complete essay in its sixth incarnation by a contributor to Benjamin Tucker's publication, Liberty . This is part of the Libertarian Broadsides Series published by Ralph Myles. No Treason The Constitution of No Authority by Lysander Spooner I. The Constitution has no inherent authority or obligation. It has no authority or obligation at all, unless as a contract between man and man. And it does not so much as even purport to be a contract between persons now existing. It purports, at most, to be only a contract between persons living eighty years ago. And it can be supposed to have been a contract then only between persons who had already come to years of discretion, so as to be competent to make reasonable and obligatory contracts. Furthermore, we know, historically, that only a small portion even of the people then existing were consulted on the subject, or asked, or permitted to express either their consent or dissent in any formal manner. Those persons, if any, who did give their consent formally, are all dead now. Most of them have been dead forty, fifty, sixty, or seventy years. And the constitution, so far as it was their contract, died with them

back to the Ross Parish essay competition page Ross Parish Essay Competition 2005 Supported by the John Bonython Lecture and Scholarship Fund "Is there a legitimate role for the government in shaping the values and attitudes of its citizens?" Phillip Elias First Prize The problem for liberalism has been how to join individuals into an authentic social unit. The theory of the social contract contains some anomalies that I believe are closely associated with our current moral crisis, and may explain our philosophical inability to reconcile the state and the individual. Secondly, does the exclusion of government from our values-choices automatically make these choices autonomous? We are influenced by and draw our ideas from a multiplicity of social settings. Among these upbringing, education and the media are probably most significant. These influences can be positive or negative. Humans have biopsychological as well as rational reasons for forming societies and for being governed. Writers such as Virginia Held have demonstrated the complete impropriety of a social contract model for understanding the first human society- the family- and in particular the relationship between mother and child. By understanding the human person as a social animal we remove the wedge between the individual and society. Our bond to others, and hence our bond to government, transcends the agreed upon terms of an economic transaction. And the assertion of inalienable, common rights hints at the possibility of common goals. We can approach the concept of a natural law.

71. Lysander Spooner / Biography reprinted from a review of The Lysander Spooner Reader, August 1992 If Lysander Spooner cannot inspire a reexamination of everything you learned in http://www.cooperativeindividualism.org/spoonerbio.html

Lysander Spooner Tom G. Palmer [reprinted from a review of The Lysander Spooner Reader, August 1992] everything you learned in high school, then nobody can. It has been nearly twenty years since I read Spooner in high school, and my life has not been the same since. After wrestling with Spooner's tightly reasoned arguments against the state in No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority you'll never look at the government the same way again. I guarantee it. (It's also guaranteed to get you in trouble with your high school principal, as it did me.) A Fascinating Figure Lawyer, abolitionist, radical, friend of liberty: that was Lysander Spooner, one of the most fascinating figures to emerge from American history. A ferocious opponent of slavery, he supported the right of secession. An ardent enemy of statist legislation, he was a brilliant jurist who put his faith in the law. An eloquent foe of prohibition of alcohol or drugs, he offered a moral defense of liberty. Spooner inspired both John Brown's anti-slavery raid on Harper's Ferry and the "Spooner Acts" passed by the U.S. Congress to put his private post office out of business and cement the state's postal monopoly. But try to find his name in a high school or college history textbook. Uh-uh—too radical.

Lysander Spooner But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist. Lysander Spooner If the jury have no right to judge of the justice of a law of the government, they plainly can do nothing to protect the people against the oppressions of the government; for there are no oppressions which the government may not authorize by law. Lysander Spooner That no government, so called, can reasonably be trusted, or reasonably be supposed to have honest purposes in view, any longer than it depends wholly upon voluntary support.
