SRC-202 · PRIORITY · Commentaries on the Laws of England (4 vols.) — Sir William Blackstone (1765-1769)
Pinpoint: not recorded · Access: Access status not recordedPINPOINT from /the-righteous-and-the-corrupt-sovereign: Book I ch. 6, "protection and subjection are reciprocal". VERIFIED AT SOURCE BY CONTENT 2026-10-03 at the Avalon Project, which prints the long s as "f" ("fubjection"); modernized in the quotation on the page. SOVEREIGN CITIZENS block, 2026-10-18: S10 cites this record. PINPOINTS: 1 Comm. 366 and 369 (Book I ch. 10, allegiance, natural-born subjects and local allegiance); and from S10-AMEND, 1 Comm. 41 and 42-43 (Introduction §2) - "Nay, if any human law should allow or injoin us to commit it, we are bound to transgress that human law, or else we must offend both the natural and the divine." Read on the Avalon Project's transcription of the first edition, whose OCR prints the long s as f; quotations modernise the long s only. The p. 41 sentence was read in the earlier natural-law audit on LONANG and constitution.org and is to be checked on Avalon before it is relied on further. The UT Austin transcription is NOT used: it drops "or" ("allow enjoin").
5. Counter-evidence
-
None material. The NED (Murray), via WEHD, after a first clause on "the dominion of a monarch or reigning prince", defines the subject broadly, which supports the page: "one who owes allegiance to a government or ruling power, is subject to its laws, and enjoys its protection." [SRC-1195]
