Article 1 - The Nation

Official Literal English translation

Article 1 The Nation

The nation of Éire hereby affirms its inalienable, invincible, sovereign right to establish whatever type of Government they themselves choose, to determine their relationship with other nations, and to promote their political and economic and learned life in accordance with the natural bent and practices of their ancestors.

Points to Consider:

Article 1 is the most important article in the constitution.  As Irish nationals, we are the nation.

As Irish nationals no acts can be applied to us without our consent. We can simply live freely on the land. 

The State is not to be confused with the nation. The State is a juristic person capable of holding property (and is a corporation). It cannot be regarded as a government department. Anyone employed by, or acting for, the State are simply agents for the State, and they cannot claim ownership of the property of the State.


An Irish Citizen is different from an Irish national.

Citizenship as defined by the 1935 act and the 1956 act.

This 63-article Irish Constitution is the capacity in which we can do business.

There are 2 different types of "citizenship":

1. A citizen of Ireland is a commercial entity represented by our "legal" all-caps name and has no personal rights, only privileges in this capacity. It is a juristic person/resident.

2. A citizen of the State Éire is a human person represented by a given name (fore name) and does allow for personal rights enshrined in your fundamental personal rights as laid out in articles 40 - 44 of An Bunreacht 1937.

Articles 2 - 3

The National Territory

Article 2

The National Territory

Official Literal English Translation

Article 2

The island of Ireland entirely, along with its islands and its bordering/territorial seas, is the national territories/territory.

Points to Consider:

Article 2 refers to a 32-county independent sovereign territory

Articles 2 and 3 were removed in the Good Friday (political/legal) agreement, but it was not ratified by a whole-island unilateral referendum at the same time.  These articles still exist in law for Irish nationals.

Ireland became a nation without a monarch (independent sovereign republic) in 1937.  However, we have a licence to operate in the commercial world via the citizens manual, which gives us our inalienable right to contract or not to contract, which is unlimited.

The commercial world is created through the birth (berth) certificate, giving citizenship under admiralty maritime law (wet law).


Article 3

Official Literal English Translation

Article 3

Until the national territories are made complete again, and without prejudice to the right of the Parliament and the Government that is established by this Constitution to operate jurisdiction in all the national territories, the laws that will be enacted by that Parliament will apply to the same area as the laws of the Irish Free State applied to, and they will have the same effect outside of that area as the laws of the Irish Free-State had.

Points to Consider:

Article 3 refers to reintegrating our 32-county independent sovereign territory.

Articles 2 & 3 were removed in the Good Friday (political/legal) agreement, but it was not a whole-island unilateral referendum at the same time.  These articles still exist in law for Irish nationals.

We became a nation without a monarch (independent sovereign republic) in 1937.  However we have a licence to operate in the commercial world via the citizens manual, which gives us our inalienable right to contract or not to contract, which is unlimited.

 The commercial world is created through the birth (berth) certificate giving citizenship under admiralty maritime law (wet law).
