Glossary of Terms

Many words we use in everyday conversation have an alternative meaning in their legal and lawful contexts

See Black's law dictionary and Living in The Private for more definitions.


Person

A legal person (agent) is any subject matter to which the law attributes a merely legal or fictitious personality. Legal persons, being the arbitrary creations of the law, may be of as many kinds as the law pleases. Those … recognised by our own system, however, all fall within a single class, namely, corporations or bodies corporate.

The common good vs The good of the people

"Common good" refers to benefit of the collective, regardless of their individual inputs and personal beliefs. It excludes any individual rights and rejects Natural law. It denies inalienable rights and has strong associations with communism or utilitarianism, requiring government control. The common good is very different ideology from the good of the people.

The good of the people refers to individual inalienable, imprescriptible rights and benefits - see The Preamble article 1, article 6 and articles 40-45 in An Bunreacht 1937.

Citizen

Governments incorporate (form) artificial legal persons of many kinds by registration, presuming a franchise benefit to the State's legal society. Legal persons include: citizen, resident, inhabitant, driver, individual, taxpayer, employee, voter, and owner. They are servants, transmitting utilities, debtors, decedents, or incompetent wards of the State.

Do you understand?

When you hear this question in a legal context it is giving you the option to consent to contract, and in legal speak translates as "Do you stand under my authority?" If you do not wish to contract, the appropriate would be something like "I comprehend the words you are saying, and I do not consent".
