A George Shollenberger Report on the USA As an Indivisible Nation Under God
This report shows the degeneration of the USA from an ‘indivisible nation under God’ to a ‘divisible nation of rulers without God.’ This degeneration occurred in about 90 years after its founding in 1776.
The USA did begin in 1776 as ‘an indivisible nation under God.’ This beginning was guided by the work of England’s John Locke on the theory of ‘social contracts’ in 1690. His work on social contracts is found in ‘The Second Treatise of Government’(See The Liberal Arts Press, 1952, Editor, Thomas P. Peardon). Let me show you how this indivisible nation under God was founded and guided by Locke’s social contract.
Locke’s social contract has two contracts. (See Introduction, p. xvi, of the Second Treatise and National Archives Publication No. 70-13). One contract, society, was instituted with the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. Locke calls this society a civil society and distinguished from a political society. The second contract, government, was instituted with the Articles of Confederation on July 9, 1778. Then, to create a more perfect union and strengthen the national government, government was instituted again with the Constitution on Sept. 17, 1787.
With Locke’s dual social contract, the indivisibility of the USA became a reality because the two contracts of the social contract were united into one body of common laws and judicature. See Section 87. So, the founding of the USA created a togetherness among ‘the people’ who want to be governed and govern themselves by giving government some of their rights. But, this beauty changed because a major judicial error was thus made by not bringing the Declaration of Independence into the body of common laws. Without the Declaration of Independence, the indivisibility of the ‘society’ and ‘government’ was broken. The impact of this error was great because it simultaneously (1) destroyed the indivisibility of the USA and (2) removed God from government.
However, in time the impact of this error would grow. This growth can be seen in two of the four conspicuous features found in Locke’s social contract. (See Introduction, pp. xv-xvi). The first two features are of interest to all US citizens today. One feature is to preserve natural freedom as much as possible. Men surrender only the right of enforcing the laws of nature. This means that the laws of nature’s God, which are moral laws defined by the Declaration of Independence, must remain with society (the people). Since the people can act only through representatives, the laws of nature’s God can be determined only by Congress. But, how can Congress identify laws of nature’s God when God was removed from government?
The second feature excludes rulers from government. A ‘trust’ must be established so that government acts solely for the common good of society. However, both the trust and common good were lost. Further, rulers, who primarily have their own interests, entered into the affairs of government after the assassination of Lincoln. With Lincoln’s death the US economy was changed from the American System of economy to British System of economy (laissez-faire).
I do not believe that the judicial error and its cause of degenerating the USA were planned by any person or persons. I also believe that the error was never corrected because the field of law conceives all laws as a result of‘some authority. So, the field of law apparently recognized the US society as an ‘authority.’ However, this field did not recognize society as ’one of two parts of a whole.’ This error must be corrected before the USA falls too far apart and causes another Civil War.
