Significance of Removal
To create the present oligarchy (rule by lawyers) which we now endure, the
lawyers first had to remove the 13th "titles of nobility" Amendment that might
otherwise have kept them in check. In fact, it was not until after the Civil War and after
the disappearance of this 13th Amendment, that American bar associations began to appear
and exercise political power.
Since the unlawful deletion of the 13th Amendment, the newly developing bar associations
began working diligently to create a system wherein lawyers took on a title of privilege
and nobility as "Esquires" and received the "honor" of offices and
positions (like district attorney or judge) that only lawyers may now hold. By virtue of
these titles, honors, and special privileges, lawyers have assumed political and economic
advantages over the majority of U.S. citizens. Through these privileges, they have nearly
established a two-tiered citizenship in this nation where a majority may vote, but only a
minority (lawyers) may run for political office. This twotiered citizenship is clearly
contrary to Americans' political interests, the nation's economic welfare, and the
Constitution's egalitarian spirit.
The significance of this missing 13th Amendment and its deletion from the Constitution is
this: Since the amendment was never lawfully nullified, it is still in full force and
effect and is the Law of the land. If public support could be awakened, this missing
Amendment might provide a legal basis to challenge many existing laws and court decisions
previously made by lawyers who were unconstitutionally elected or appointed to their
positions of power; it might even mean the removal of lawyers from our current government
system.
