Memorandum of Law and International Precedent
Establishing the Lawfulness of the United Christian Nation Sovereign Structure Using a Private Express Trust
The memorandum that follows presents the legal and historical backbone of the United Christian Nation’s claim to sovereignty. Grounded in natural law, biblical covenant, Anglo-American common law, and international precedent, this document articulates the legal legitimacy of our national formation and outlines the path to global recognition.
More than an academic exercise, this memorandum affirms that the United Christian Nation was not birthed in rebellion, but in alignment with the ancient and lawful traditions by which righteous nations are formed. Drawing on legal milestones such as the American Declaration of Independence, the founding of the Republic of Texas, and the recognition of modern nations like Israel and South Sudan, this document offers a comprehensive case for our standing as a sovereign ecclesiastical nation.
The memorandum also outlines the lawful structure of governance via a private express sovereign trust, the assignation of jurisdictional rights by covenant citizens, and our conformity to the Montevideo Convention’s four pillars of nationhood. Each section builds toward a single conclusion: the United Christian Nation is not only morally justified but legally and historically grounded in its assertion of independent nationhood.
We invite you to explore this document with thoughtful reflection, understanding that it serves not only as legal affirmation but as a prophetic declaration that nations can still be built upon truth, righteousness, and divine covenant.
Article I: Introduction
This memorandum presents an exhaustive historical and jurisprudential analysis in support of the legal foundation, lawful standing, and international legitimacy of the United Christian Nation as a sovereign body politic. The United Christian Nation is established through a private express sovereign trust and activated through the voluntary, covenantal declarationsof its members. In alignment with the analytical model used by Justice Clarence Thomas in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, 597 U.S. (2022), this memorandum roots its arguments not merely in statutory developments but in centuries-old traditions of natural law, Biblical covenant, Anglo-American common law, and customary international law.
Article II: Natural Law and Biblical Foundations of Political Authority
Section 1: Natural Law as Supreme Authority
- The American Declaration of Independence (1776) invoked “the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God” as the legal foundation for national sovereignty. These pre-political, pre-constitutional principles affirm that government derives its legitimacy solely from the consent of the governed and must protect unalienable rights endowed by the
- In accordance with the sacred naming conventions codified in the United Christian Nation Constitution, all
references herein to “God,” “the Creator,” or “the Lord” are specifically understood to mean Yahuah (יהוה), the Eternal, Self-Existent One, and references to “the Messiah” or “Jesus” are to Yahusha (יהושע), the only begotten Son of Yahuah.
- These concepts were first articulated by classical and Christian jurists including Cicero, Augustine, Aquinas, and John Locke. Locke’s Second Treatise of Government argued that when a government becomes destructive of natural rights, the peopleretain a lawful right to form a new
Section 2: Biblical Precedent for Covenant Nationhood
- The formation of Israel as a nation at Mount Sinai (Exodus 19–24) established the Biblical model of a covenant peoplegoverned directly by divine This theocratic framework was reaffirmed in Deuteronomy 28–30 and remains the most ancient legal precedent for voluntary national covenant under God.
- Isaiah 33:22 establishes the tripartite functions of government—judge, lawgiver, and king—within divine authority, astructure emulated in later civil
Article III: Anglo-American Common Law Foundations
Section 1: The Trust as a Vehicle of Legal Sovereignty
- Originating in the English Chancery courts, the private express trust has long been used to vest rights and obligations in fiduciaries for the benefit of identifiable beneficiaries.
- Blackstone’s Commentaries on the Laws of England and Kent’s Commentaries on American Law affirm that private trusts are instruments for lawful autonomy, recognized in all common law jurisdictions.
- By organizing the United Christian Nation as a sovereign body politic under a private express trust, the people lawfully vest their assigned rights and collective will into a durable, fiduciary structure governed by Biblical
Section 2: Assignments of Rights in Anglo-American Jurisprudence
- A citizen may voluntarily assign non-transferable jurisdictional rights through private instruments, provided no fraud, coercion, or violation of public policy occurs. This includes spiritual, moral, contractual, and political
- Such assignments are commonly used in labor unions, religious orders, andpolitical
Article IV: Historical Precedents for Sovereignty by Declaration
Section 1: American Independence (1776)
- The Declaration of Independence was a unilateral, extralegal proclamation by a group of people withdrawing their consentfrom one form of government and reconstituting themselves under another. It referenced natural law and divine authority,not prior statutory
- The U.S. Supreme Court later affirmed in Texas v. White, 74 U.S. 700 (1869), that the Union is perpetual but acknowledged that lawful separation is possible through revolution or mutual consent.
Section 2: The Republic of Texas (1836–1845)
- Texas declared independence from Mexico through a unilateral Declaration in 1836, based on natural law and consent of the governed. It operated as a sovereign nation, recognized by the United States and multiple foreign governments, prior to its annexation.
- The Republic’s recognition as an independent nation under customary international law serves as a precedent forgeographic and ideological self-determination.
Section 3: Israel (1948) and South Sudan (2011)
- Both nations issued unilateral Declarations of Independence following persecution, operating provisional governments and seeking international recognition based on the Montevideo criteria.
Section 4: The Holy See and Vatican City (1929–Present)
The Vatican functions as a sovereign religious entity under canon law. Its status is affirmed by the Lateran Accords and UnitedNations diplomatic protocols, proving the viability of a theocratic or religious state under international law.
Article V: International Law: Montevideo Convention and Customary Norms
Section 1: Montevideo Convention (1933)
- Article 1 sets out four criteria for statehood:
- Permanent population;
- Defined territory;
- Government; and

Section 2: Customary International Law
- Nations may emerge through peaceful declaration, internal self-determination, and voluntary alignment of people,especially in response to moral, religious, or systemic
- The principle of uti possidetis juris affirms that sovereign control may be exercised over existing geographic units (e.g., theRepublic of Texas) when supported by majority will and political
Article VI: The Sovereign Trust Structure of the United Christian Nation
Section 1: Formation and Transition of Beneficiaries
- Initially, the trust’s sole beneficiary is a designated public charity (ecclesiastical body).
- Upon activation of the national Declaration, the beneficiaries transition to all covenant signatories, who become citizens of the United Christian Nation.
Section 2: Legal Authority of the Trustee
- The Trustee holds fiduciary authority to act diplomatically, legally, and administratively on behalf of the people, especiallyfor purposes of:
- Diplomatic negotiation;
- International recognition; and
- Legal representation of the people’s collective

The Trustee, in his capacity as ecclesiastical head and lawful diplomatic agent, operates with full intent to claim diplomatic protections afforded to non-state ecclesiastical missions and sovereign religious entities recognized in customary international law.

- Anglo-American common law (private trusts, right of contract, right of assembly)
- S. historical precedent (1776 Declaration, Republic of Texas, Free Church traditions)
- International law (Montevideo Convention, diplomatic recognition norms)
- The phased structure—trust formation, mass declaration, assignment of rights, and public execution of a national declaration—is not merely lawful but historically proven, morally necessary, and legally enforceable. It is an unimpeachablepath toward peaceful, principled
