Sovereign Edward

Benjamin Franklin is often misquoted as having said something like

"Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both."

According to one source, the original statement is:

"Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

Is the quote - in and of itself - relevant today? I don't think so. Here's why:

Freedom has always been the abstract notion upon which this country was founded. To be exact, religious freedom was the impetus, with all of the other freedoms just lining up behind it like little ducklings. To wit:

• Freedom from the tyranny of "taxation without representation"
• Freedom to expand (colonists were restricted from settling western territories)

Of course, other freedoms followed (during the creation of state constitutions and the Constitution of the United States), but those were the big three.

Security, on the other hand, is based implicitly on the idea that a sovereign nation would wish to remain autonomous and would take steps to ensure their sovereignty. The Constitution of the United States makes this clear in various places:

• Preamble - We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
• Article I, Section 8 - The Congress shall have power to ... declare war
• Article II - The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States,
• Second Amendment - A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.

Because security was not a major factor in the formulation of the United States of America, it cannot, therefore, be linked arm-in-arm with the notion of freedom.

It is contentious to presume that a sovereign nation is undeserving of the freedoms for which it has empowered itself to defend. If it becomes necessary to enact legislation to facilitate this defense, what society sacrifices is not freedom in the sense of Constitutional Rights, but convenience in the sense of prerogative.

The real issue is that our President does not have the right to unilaterally legislate, adjudicate and execute activities under the authority of commander-in-chief.

Daimler Sovereign by Avery, Iustinus Tim [Paperback] $89.22 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Daimler Sovereign was a name applied by British manufacturer Jaguar Cars to a sequence of luxury automobiles built by it but carrying the Daimler badge between 1966 and 1983. The Daimler Sovereigns were based on contemporary Jaguar bodyshells, chassis and engines in an early example of badge engineering. Jaguar Cars took over the Daimler company in 1960 and the 1966 Sovereign was the second Daimler to be based on a Jaguar model. The first was the 2 litre V8 with a V8 engine designed by Edward Turner. Unlike the Daimler 2 litre, the Sovereign had a Jaguar engine, marking the end for the Turner designed engines.

Sovereign Bodies $30.95 9/11 and its aftermath have shown that our ideas about what constitutes sovereign power lag dangerously behind the burgeoning claims to rights and recognition within and across national boundaries. New configurations of sovereignty are at the heart of political and cultural transformations globally. Sovereign Bodies shifts the debate on sovereign power away from territoriality and external recognition of state power, toward the shaping of sovereign power through the exercise of violence over human bodies and populations. In this volume, sovereign power, whether exercised by a nation-state or by a local despotic power or community, is understood and scrutinized as something tentative and unstable whose efficacy depends less on formal rules than on repeated acts of violence. Following the editors' introduction are fourteen essays by leading scholars from around the globe that analyze cultural meanings of sovereign power and violence, as well as practices of citizenship and belonging--in South Africa, Peru, India, Mexico, Cyprus, Norway, and also among transnational Chinese and Indian populations. Sovereign Bodies enriches our understanding of power and sovereignty in the postcolonial world and in "the West" while opening new conceptual fields in the anthropology of politics. The contributors are Ana María Alonso, Lars Buur, Partha Chatterjee, Jean Comaroff and John L. Comaroff, Oivind Fuglerud, Thomas Blom Hansen, Barry Hindess, Steffen Jensen, Achille Mbembe, Aihwa Ong, Finn Stepputat, Simon Turner, Peter van der Veer, and Yael Navaro-Yashin.
