Transforming the U.S. Government: Legal and Illegitimate Paths

The failure of the 2024 election to enact the necessary change underscores the need for citizens to proactively prepare and educate for the 2028 election. This article explores both legal and unlawful methods to transform the U.S. government, focusing on the role of voting, the use of constitutional amendments, and grassroots action.

Understanding the Power of Voting

Voting remains a fundamental and powerful tool for citizens to effect change. Despite the setback in 2024, the 2028 election offers an opportunity to elect officials who will fulfill the interests of the people, not the political elite.

Legal Methods to Change the Government

Legal methods of change involve using the provisions of the Reconstruction Amendments, specifically the 14th, 15th, and 19th Amendments, to challenge current political norms and structures.

Using Constitutional Provisions

The Reconstruction Amendments, particularly the 14th and 15th Amendments, provide a legal foundation to challenge and potentially invalidate certain aspects of the 2020 election. These amendments address concerns regarding the fairness and validity of the electoral process.

The 14th Amendment, which contains provisions for equal protection under the law, could be used to challenge the validity of the 2020 election and subsequent elections. The 15th Amendment, which prohibited the denial of the right to vote based on race, color, or previous condition of servitude, could further support challenging electoral outcomes.

Voiding Oaths and Re-Initiating Elections

By leveraging the 14th and 15th Amendments, we can argue that the oath of office was not properly taken by certain individuals, thus invalidating their positions. This approach would involve voiding the subsequent elections and census, and holding new elections with individuals who have never taken an oath of office before.

Donald J. Trump, being the legitimate President according to those who support this argument, could serve as a foundational figure for reinitiating the electoral process. Following this, the 15th Amendment can be used to ensure that new elections are held with individuals who have never taken an oath or were involved in the BLM Rebellion.

Unlawful Methods of Changing the Government

While legal methods offer a structured and peaceful path, unlawful methods can also lead to significant political change, albeit at the cost of law and order. This section explores the historical precedent of the American Revolution and its implications for the current political landscape.

The American Revolution: A Historical Model

The American Revolution, which began in 1776, offers a historical example of how citizens can effect significant change. By going to war with England, the colonists were able to secure their independence, albeit at a heavy cost. Had the revolution failed, those who instigated it would have faced severe penalties, including death as traitors.

In a similar vein, the unlawful change brings the risk of violent consequences. However, if the unlawful change succeeds, it could lead to a legitimate and stable government. The tactics involved in such an approach may include protests, civil disobedience, and even direct action, though these should be planned and executed with caution to avoid unnecessary violence.

Peaceful Transfers of Power: A Recipe for Success

A lesson from history is the peaceful transfer of power after George Washington's election in 1789. The U.S. became the first country to institute a peaceful transition of power through the Electoral College, setting a precedent for future elections. This peaceful method avoided bloodshed and provided a stable foundation for the new government.

Moreover, the French and Russian revolutions, though turbulent, offer lessons in the potential consequences of violent change. The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was marked by violence and bloodshed. In contrast, the Russian Revolution in 1917 also resulted in significant political and societal upheaval.

Conclusion: A Balanced Approach

While legal methods provide a structured and peaceful path, unlawful methods can also bring about change, albeit at a higher cost. Citizens should consider their options carefully and choose the path that best aligns with their values and the broader goals of the nation.

Key Takeaways:

Legal methods include using the Reconstruction Amendments to invalidate and re-initiate elections. Historical examples, such as the American Revolution and peaceful transfers of power, provide valuable lessons. Unlawful methods carry significant risks but can potentially lead to change if successful.

Ultimately, the citizens of the United States hold the power to transform their government. By understanding and leveraging available options, they can work towards a more equitable and just society.
