Maxims of Law
By Christopher Holloman Hansen
As ignorance of the Law is not considered a valid excuse. It is important to consider, and study the law. Not only the laws of God but the interpretations and meanings of law that is most certain and chiefest of law. These are commonly known as “maxims” of law. Normally when a maxim is presented it is first written in it Latin form and then in English. We have reversed that format here for ease of reading. Legal references were removed for the same reasons.
Also included are a few definitions for quick reference and thoughts from men of law and of the courts concerning law. These maxims are but a small sampling of legal maxims but are considered especially important to the Fellowship because they demonstrate clearly that Christian morality is the foundation of American law; the duty to God we have before our duty to obey any legislation passed as law by a government; that you cannot have law (real law) in America without religion, morality and God, that if you neglect your rights and duties you are the one that has added to your difficulties. The maxims demonstrate the evil of USC Title 26 and its regulations, and they demonstrate the evils of the Social Security act, codes and regulations. A more complete list can be found in most legal dictionaries. These maxims and definitions were found in: A LAW DICTIONARY ADAPTED TO THE CONSTITUTION AND LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND OF THE SEVERAL STATES OF THE AMERICAN UNION, With References to the Civil and Other Systems of Foreign Law by John Bouvier (1856 edition). In addition the definition of “succor” and “impossible” were found in the 1828 edition of Webster’s as they were not found in Bouvier’s. The 1856 edition of Bouvier’s Law dictionary was used, as was Webster’s 1828 edition, in an attempt to ensure that the meanings of laws and of the words that form these maxims could be understood in the same manner that the Founding Fathers understood them when the Constitution was authored. (All emphasis was added by editor.)
