Constitution for the United States of America
http://www.constitution.org/constit_.htm

Each state in the United States has its own constitution. Of course, all state constitutions are inferior (in a legal sense) to the United States Constitution, and when reading state constitutions, this must be kept in mind – a state constitution, for example, cannot validly authorize a state religion. However, many state constitutions guarantee civil rights that the United States Constitution does not. The Vermont Constitution, for example, abolished slavery long before the U.S. Constitution did so.

Below is a list of links to online versions of state constitutions.

The following U.S. territories also have constitutions:
American Samoa

Guam

What is Dual Citizenship?

Dual citizenship refers to the legal right some individuals have to be citizens of more than one country.  There are advantages to dual citizenship.  It can save individuals money on taxes and other legal fees.  Plus, there is a certain amount of freedom that goes along with having citizenship in two or even more countries.

However, you may wonder if having dual citizenship is legal or not.  Whether or not this is legal depends on the laws of all countries you inhabit.  Worldwide, of course there’s no law as to how many countries you can live in.  However, if you live and make money in one country, you have to make sure that living elsewhere and making income is permissible with that first country.  There may be various rules and procedures you have to follow.

For example, what if you are born in one country but want to become a citizen in another one?  Some countries might demand that you disassociate yourself from other companies.  In other instances, becoming a citizen of another nation doesn’t necessarily disqualify your citizenship in another country.  Furthermore, some countries automatically disassociate you while others require written notice.

What’s important to remember is that according to authorities, you are a citizen of the country you are currently staying in.  Therefore, when you are in Canada you are not an American citizen according to the most individuals.  All that matters is that you follow the law of the country you are staying in.  This means taking all related obligations like taxes, military service, and certain travel restrictions.  In unusual cases, like if American doesn’t permit traveling to a Middle Eastern country, yet Canada does, your traveling plans would have to respect the wishes of each country, depending on which you are staying in at the time.  

You’re not considered a man (or woman) who is multi-national according to the law.  This is what you can pride yourself of being, personally speaking, a man or woman who has assets in more than one country.  However, the country you live in will only expect honesty with regards as to your active citizenship.  When you are in America, you follow America’s rules.  (No policeman will have any compassion for you if you state you were not doing anything illegal by Canada’s standards!)

If you’re interested in learning how to build wealth, keep it and live the life you’ve always dreamed of, then ByeByeBigBrother.com is the place to start.

Seeking 10,000 Teachers of Witchcraft and Wicca Needed to Supply Global Shortage

Seeking 10,000 Teachers of Witchcraft and Wicca Needed to Supply Global Shortage










Hoopeston, IL (PRWEB) June 19, 2006

Wicca is America’s Fastest Growing religion and is anticipated by religious experts to be the third largest religion in the United States early in the 21st century behind only Christianity and Islam. Such a rapid spiritual revelation is occurring that the need for thousands of Wiccan teachers over the course of the next decade is required to meet the demand for basic teachings. People want to understand and embrace the Wican Rede and allow themselves to awaken their inner abilities. Wicca’s liberating beliefs and useful skills are in such demand that they need ten thousand teachers in the next few years.

America is on the brink of awakening and discovering it’s inner magic and it is changing the world. How we change depends on what we believe, and more people are looking at Paganism and Wicca than ever. If Pagans are right, then we have contact with a whole other dimension to our already rich existence. It is a another vision of life where magic occurs alongside the daily workplace, among science and technology, among people and filling in all those different places with a sense of awe and wonder. It is about Soul freedom. It is about being aware of how much freedom we truly have.

People becoming Wiccans today have a desire to teach and share their faith in ways never previously before conceived. Fearful of the dangers of remaining in the closet, and yet knowing how discriminatory American culture can be, Wiccans desire to build their community in a free and open manner, legally protected under Constitutional law. We benefit from the freedoms we have fought for and served for, and that our forefathers and mothers strived to maintain for us and we will pass these freedoms onto our children. This freedom is opening this sacred community to the deepest thinking and development of their sacred arts in history and allowing Wiccan to show the world how useful these skills will be in the future that races toward us all.

And discovering Wicca has never been easier and more public. If you ever thought about Wicca and asking what it is, you can take a free Wicca Course at WitchSchool.com. Witch School is the leading distance education system in Wiccan studies worldwide, and has now helped tens of thousands of people learn about Wicca and their own inner abilities.Maybe you will be one of those new teachers and not even aware of it yet. But even if you never practice, the study of Wicca is a fascinating subject and part of our great American experience.
