Do you make those statements based on rule of law that incorporates the UN treaty agreement ratified by Congress and its charter principles and human rights declaration, or based on natural law?

I see nothing in the US Constitution that defines the US to be a democracy, and certainly it does not prescribe selection of the president by majority.

Nor do I see anything that allows one to leave without permission of the state, nor nothing that would allow anyone to become free of US law. And Bush as head of state does not allow anyone the freedom to effect what you seem to believe is possible in your last statement.

So, is your last statement per the UN or per natural law?
