The Missing 13th Amendment

“Titles of Nobility” and “Honor”
The Missing 13th Amendment

William G Burmer

“In the winter of 1983, archival research
expert David Dodge, former Baltimore police investigator and Tom Dunn, were
searching for evidence of government corruption in public records stored in the
Belfast Library on the coast of Maine.’

‘By chance, they discovered
the library’s oldest authentic copy of the Constitution of the United States
(printed in 1825). Both men were stunned to see this document included a 13th
amendment that no longer appears on current copies of the Constitution.
Moreover, after studying the Amendment’s language and historical context, they
realized the principle intent of this “missing” 13th Amendment was to prohibit
lawyers, accredited by the BAR (British Accredited Regency) from serving in
government.”

They began to research this discovery over a period of
seven years. The following are the results of their search. When we consider the
struggle our founders had in constructing our Constitution, taking into account
all their varying personalities, it is a miracle of the largest proportions that
any final consensus was ever achieved. Thankfully they were able to put aside
many of their personal wishes so that we can have, what they finally regarded
was the best Republican form of government that could be
constructed.

The Constitution would not, however, erase human natures
disposition for disagreement and selfish desires for power over principle. The
“two party” system of government was in the works from the beginning. After the
election of John Adams in 1800 the two party systems would be firmly in place
embodied in the Federalist and the Republicans, each with a unique ideology and
purpose.

There were many conservative Federalist who desired a
centralized government. On the other hand the Anti-Federalist Republicans were
skeptical of the Constitutional powers ability to protect citizen’s rights. They
desired additional amendments to insure citizen sovereignty.

They were
equally unsure that powers of honor and titles of nobility might not become a
part of the new system, and give rise to a new Monarchy.

From the
beginning of President Washington s’ first administration these concerns were
evident. His vice president John Adams counseled with senators on how to receive
the President into the congressional chambers. Should they stand or sit? (They
stood). How should the President be addressed? Adams suggested, “His Highness,
the President of the United States of America and Protector of Their Liberties.”
This was definitely too English; in the end the House agreed that “The President
of the United States” would do just fine.

It was not long before
Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison were convinced that Alexander Hamilton, as
Treasury Secretary, was leading the way towards creating a moneyed oligarchy and
that titles of nobility would come next. Madison, for one, was fearful of the
destruction of the new “Republic.” The idea of turning bankers, investors, and
lawyers into baron s’, earls and esquires reeked of monarchical controls for
which the revolution spilled its blood to prevent only a few years
previous.

Amongst the original 145 to 200 amendments proposed in 1789
as a Bill of Rights for the people was an amendment introduced by Senator
Tristram Dalton of Massachusetts, which sought to prohibit and provide a penalty
for any American accepting a “Title of Nobility.” (RG 46 Records of the U.S.
Senate). It was not passed but it was the first time such an amendment was
proposed.

Senator Dalton was born at Newbury Mass 28 May1738. He
graduated from Harvard Law in 1755, he was admitted to the bar but never
practiced law. Instead he went into the mercantile business. He was a member of
the House of Representatives from 1782 to 1788, and speaker in 1784-85. He was
elected to the Senate 1789 to 1791.

It was at this time when the
original Bill of Rights was being formed when he introduced his Title of
Nobility legislation. Dalton died at Boston Mass May 30, 1817. On January 21,
1793 as a roaring crowd of Parisians looked on, the head of Louis Capet formerly
His Majesty Louis XVI toppled into the Basket as the blade of the guillotine
severed it from his body. This created, at least for a short time, a second
Republic. The hopes of a number of nations, inspired by our revolutionary
triumph over Britain were testing the old Monarchical controls in Europe and
elsewhere.

The eyes of the peoples of the world were seeing the hopes
of disengaging themselves from Monarchies and their titles of nobility. Our new
Constitution prohibited “titles of nobility,” see Article I, Sections 9 and 10
of 1787.

The year was 1810; the month was January when the original
13th Amendment, entitled “Titles of Nobility,” was again proposed. (See History
of Congress proceedings of the Senate, p. 529-530). On April 27, 1810, the
Senate voted to pass this Amendment by a vote of 26 to 1; The House resolved in
the affirmative 87 to 3; and the following was sent to the States for
Ratification: “If any Citizen of the United States shall Accept, claim, receive
or retain any title of nobility or honor, or shall, without the consent of
Congress, accept and retain any present, pension, office or emolument of any
kind whatever, from any emperor, king, prince or foreign power, such person
shall cease 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.” This
amendment was to be ratified by 17 states, 13 of which would be required to
adopt.

If you compare the wording of the Amendment with Article I,
Sections 9, and 10 you will quickly see there are similarities; however, there
was no penalty attached in the Constitutional version.

The Amendment,
on the other hand, provided that one would lose their citizenship, and would be
disqualified from activity within any government office. This would mean that
all lawyers, judges, or any person associated with the International Bar
Association (which is chartered by the King of England, head quartered in
London) along with those associated with the Banking system. Why Bankers?
Because they formed alliances with the IBA in order to legitimize

their
crimes of fraud, conversion of the lawful money of the United States, and for
bribery.

“Contained in the National archives is the following list of
states that ratified the 13th Amendment along with the dates: Maryland, Dec. 25,
1810, Kentucky, Jan 31, 1811, Ohio, Jan, 31, 1811, Delaware, Feb, 2, 1811,
Pennsylvania, Feb, 6, 1811, New Jersey, Feb. 2, 1811,

Vermont, Oct. 24,
1811, Tennessee, Nov. 21 1811, Georgia, Dec. 13, 1811, North Carolina, Dec. 23,
1811, Massachusetts, Feb. 27, 1812, New Hampshire, Dec. 10, 1812. It was
consummated by Virginia’s ratification on Mar. 12, 1819. Word of Virginias 1819
ratification spread throughout the States along with Rhode Island and Kentucky
publishing the new Amendment in 1822. Additionally evidence was found that Ohio
first published the Constitution containing the Amendment in 1824. Maine ordered
10,000 copies of the constitution with the 13th Amendment to be printed for use
in the schools, in 1825.”

One might be inclined to conclude this
would be the end of the matter, however, in 1829, the following quote appears on
p.23, Vol. 1 of the New York Revised Statutes: “In the edition of the Laws of
the U.S. Before referred to, there is an amendment printed as Article 13,
prohibiting citizens from accepting titles of nobility or honor, or presents,
offices, &c. From foreign nations. But, by a message of the president of the
United States of the 4th of February 1818, in answer to a resolution of the
House of Representatives, it appears that this amendment had been ratified only
by 12 states, and therefore had not been adopted. See Vol. IV of the printed
papers of the 1st session of the 15th congress, No. 76.” In 1854, a similar note
appeared in the Oregon Statutes; both notes refer to the Laws of the United
States, 1st vol. P. 73 (or 74).

Historical records show that on Feb
6, 1818 President Monroe reported in a letter to the House that the Secretary of
State John Adams had written a letter to the Governors of Virginia, South
Carolina, and Connecticut telling them that the 13th Amendment had been ratified
by 12 States and rejected by New York, and Rhode Island. He asked the governors
to notify him of their legislature’s position. (See House Document No.
76).

On February 28, 1818 Secretary of State John Adams reported in
House Document No. 129 that South Carolina rejected the Amendment. No other
responses were forthcoming. Virginia did not confirm nor did they deny. The
Virginia House Journal showed an official letter and other documents from
Washington dated March 10, 1819 that the Virginia legislature passed Act No. 280
p 299 the following Action: “Be it enacted by the General Assembly, that there
shall be published an edition of the Laws of this Commonwealth in which shall be
contained the following matters, that is to say: “The Constitution of the United
States and the Amendments thereto…” This act was to be included in the
re-publication of the Virginia Civil Code of March 12, 1819 where-in the 13th
Amendment would be included.’

The Amendment, on the other hand,
provided that one would lose their citizenship, and would be disqualified from
activity within any government office. This would mean that all lawyers, judges,
or any person associated with the International Bar Association (which is
chartered by the King of England, head quartered in London) along with those
associated with the Banking system. Why Bankers? Because they formed alliances
with the IBA in order to legitimize their crimes of fraud, conversion of the
lawful money of the United States, and for bribery.

With an
understanding that those same forces who were allied against ratification of the
13th Amendment were afoot, the delegates in the Virginia legislature took
extraordinary measures to be sure that it was published in sufficient quantities
(4,000 copies) and they also instructed the printer to send a copy to President
James Monroe, James Madison and Thomas Jefferson.’

‘The printer was a
Mr. Thomas Ritchie. He was bonded and required to be accurate in his work. The
printing of this act of the legislature is prima facie evidence of ratification.
No other requirement for ratification is contained in the Constitution at this
time in the history of our Republic. President Monroe s’ letter and response
above have been used as evidence that the 13th Amendment was never adopted;
however, abundant evidence disclaims this assertion. The real truth was
destroyed doubtless as a consequence of the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798,
during the War of 1812 and, other evidences later, during the Civil War in
1860”. (a)

Gives rise to why Shakespeare's famous line from one of his plays, was
"First, kill all the lawyers." Then there is the 1630's Compact in
Massachusetts that initially outlawed lawyers, and classified them as lower
than rats in colonial society... so, 200 years ago, they got us in much the
same troubles we are seeing now, parsing and perverting the meaning of
language... alas, as the Good Book says, "There is nothing new under the sun."

If this was ever put on a ballot, only lawyers and/or their family members
would vote against it.

At least our forefathers had some brains, if they didn't allow lawyers to

About Me

Al Ritter

Fifties something guy, with a political view, but
not in your face with it. Don't ask my opinion about politics if you don't
want it, but I don't start conversations about it when meeting you for the
first time. I have so many interests, that I don't pigeon hole into one
catagory. I have written a book, and been published, it's about the care I
gave my parents in their last years, it's a story of love, care, and
dedication.

Reader's comments

“Even sadder that so many of us are so blind and
stupid, just living our lives daily and letting "smarter" people 'run' our
lives."

"Thank God for people like you.”

“This is so
horrible....how can one be so advanced and so naive at the same time..”

“Well if you were a politician, you would have my vote. I have a great
deal of respect for intelligence...especially when I agree with most of your
thoughts, almost visions."

"So many things 'we' stood for are getting
lost and no one seems to be taking notice.”

"Your ideas, and thoughts
are well researched, great job!"

"I really felt like you are really ‘in
tune’ to what is really happening…so I ‘depend’ on your wisdom.. "

"Thanks for sharing all your findings Al. You have been such a big help
with my decision. I knew in my heart that McCain should be our leader, but you
sure made me all the more convinced…and the people I have forwarded your emails
to feel the same way, I’m sure. I still think you ought to ‘run’ for an office,
open some eyes around here"

I just want to thank you for being such a
great American. I have always been interested in politics but now that I have a
son, I really am quite interested. And to be honest, I really feel for him and
what he is going to have to put up with in the future. My one saving grace is
the fact that when I was his age we also had an awful President in office and
fortunately the Great Ronald Reagan came riding in on his horse to save us.
Hopefully in 2012 someone will come swooping in and save us. I appreciate the
posts that you put on letting the world know of the crimes that most of the
press won't let the world see. Well I am just in one of those moods tonight and
I am rambling on but I just wanted to thank you. I would always love to get more
involved in politics and if there is ever a place that you think I could come in
and help please don't hesitate to ask.

My Personal Beliefs ( so you know where I'm coming from)

I believe, that the United States of America is the
best country in the world bar none.

I believe, the founding fathers wrote
the Constitution of our country based on their belief in Christianity, and
encouraged the practice of all religions but not at the expense of the
others.

I believe, the Supreme Court should interpret the Constitution
and not legislate from the bench.

I believe, the Constitution is a legal
document, and not a living document subjected to constant change.

I
believe, the course to peace is based on strong military, strong principles, and
not a pacifist denial approach.

I believe, the second amendment is the
right of every citizen in our country, and people not guns are the cause of
murder.

I believe, in the death penalty as a form of public compliance to
our laws.

I believe, a declared “hate crime” should not just be limited
to describe the victimization of one race, or religion, but should be applied
equally.

I believe, taxes are necessary to run our country and benefit
our citizens, and not to give to foreign governments to “buy”
friendships.

I believe, the government should have no right to tax a dead
man’s estate on money he has already paid taxes on.

I believe, the
President should have the power of the Line Item Veto.

I believe, that
Senator’s and Congressmen should have term limits the same as the other elected
officials.

I believe, that Senators and Congressmen should eliminate the
word “entitlements” from their vocabulary.

I believe, that taxation in
our country is disproportionate according to annual salaries, and serves to
polarize citizens within the system.

I believe, “Affirmative Action” is
neither affirmative nor action, and should be eliminated, as it’s just another
form of prejudice.

I believe, that “pork barrel” or “earmarks” should be
eliminated, as they are detrimental to budgetary constraints of our
country.

I believe, in a balanced budget amendment with the exception of
a declaration of war.

I believe, that if it’s so easy to raise hundreds
of millions of dollars for a Presidential Position that pays $400K a year, then
the amount raised should be taxed.

I believe, in governing our own
country, and never handing power of a New World Order to the United Nations for
any treaty.

I believe, to insure the safety of our citizens, we need to
secure our borders and enforce existing immigration, and hiring laws.

I
believe, that English should be formally declared our official language, and
should be used in business dealings at home, and English should be taught in
school systems to mainstream students.

I believe, that immigrants to our
country should be made to assimilate to our culture, and not the other way
around.

I believe, global warming is a reality, but to declare that man
made emissions are the main cause, based primarily on computer based models, is
akin to believing that weathermen can predict next week’s weather based on a
“preponderance of evidence.”

There are two areas I don't
agree with the official Republican Platform:

I believe in Pro-Choice

I believe in Gay, and Lesbian Rights
