Vattel was "Celebrated" in North Carolina in 1764!, nearly a quarter of a century prior to the Constitution being written. Clearly, Vattel was well read and respected across the colonies well in advance of not only the Constitution...but the Declaration of Independence as well!

If more of the public was aware of the instinct to book burning being perpetrated by the left the nature of the war against truth would be more apparent. A great many of past revolutions have culminated in destruction of the records of the preceding government. Some clearly know the perfect timing of Vattel's blueprint for constitutional republics, which is really our founding document, and would prefer it disappear, since it contains the profane truth that our would-be dictator is ineligible for the office of president.

Is North Carolina Press a state funded publisher? I suspect they are, we are paying for their efforts to control, even to rewrite, our history. History is full of tyrannies which found it necessary to bury the history of those they vanquished.

At least they didn't remove the screen images, for which our tax dollars paid. For those interested, if you can find the scaling control among printer preferences to reduce the image to around 95% the screen images are printable, and quite readable.

Great work, as usual, rxsid. If we retain a free press you should compile the amazing sources you, bushpilot1, Palin and other FR historians are turning up and publish "What Made us a Free Republic". Most should be long past copywrite restrictions, but a publisher can advise you. Even if Barry survives his first term, if freedom prevails there will law suits and continuing struggles with would-be statists-socialists-Marxists-communists. FR is one of a few honest repositories not dominated by the mainstream media, providing a record of the the growing awareness among U.S. citizens that our government is headed by an illigitimate Chief Executive. Because "Free" Republic respects the Constitution and its 1st Amendment, the arguments of Obama's trolls are amply represented, but aren't allowed to dominate discussions with bully tactics.

John Quincy Adams - The Law of Nature and Natural Law, was the basis for the Declaration of Independence.
