Common Law
AUSTRALIAN NATIONALIST SOCIAL REPUBLIC
The Common Laws represent a proposed legal foundation for the Republic of Australia. These laws are envisioned as the unchanging bedrock of our Republic, designed to preserve justice, liberty, and sovereignty for all Nationals, Citizens, and Residents. However, this legal framework has not yet been accepted or enacted by Parliament.
The Common Laws, once established, will be administered by the President and his office, enforced by Governors and the Governor-General in courts, and upheld by Local Sheriffs across the nation. These laws are intended to take precedence over all federal acts and statutes, working alongside the Bill of Rights to guide legal and governmental actions within the Republic.
A representative from the Office of the President in each state will ensure these laws are upheld, and if any government action threatens to violate them, the President, State Governor, or Governor-General may invoke the Appeals Act to challenge and rescind such actions.
As the Common Laws are a proposed legal structure awaiting parliamentary approval, they represent the future of governance in the Republic of Australia. They aim to ensure that power remains with the people and that the government's actions remain aligned with the foundational principles of our nation.
Explore this proposed legal framework and discover the timeless principles that are intended to guide our Republic toward a just, free, and sovereign future.
