[Jeff Winston]

The New York Legislature passed a law in violation of the Premise upon which Lynch v Clarke was based. The Court said English Common law applied, the Legislature said "no it didn't."

States generally tended to adopt the English common law, and then change whatever parts of it they liked.

States generally tended to adopt the English common law, and then change whatever parts of it they liked.

How about the Federal Government, did they adopt the English common law concept known as "ad fidem Regis" ?

According to Lord Coke himself:

Whatsoever is due by the law or constitution of man, may be altered; but natural ligeance or obedience to the Sovereign cannot be altered .

Why thank you Lord Coke for clearing that up. Yes, I can see the principles of American law established quite clearly there in your statement. Hooray! Our Citizenship is based on English Subjugation! Who knew?

I wonder how long it will take for you to eventually realize that the concept of Jus Soli is a bondage chain.
