By May of 1818, all state and territorial governments, to include the federal government, knew that Virginia's vote of ratification or rejection, would make or break the amendment. This has been clearly established by exhaustive examination of state and federal records of that time. But, one of the most important records that clearly stated this, as a fact, was a letter sent from the Secretary of State to Charles N. Buck on March 21, 1818. It stated in part, "Upon a return from the Executive of Virginia, for which an application has been made by this Dept, it will be known with precision what is the fate of the proposed amendment, and no time will be lost in communicating it to you."

On March 12, 1819, Virginia published its 1819 Revised Codes under an act of its General Assembly, wherein they published Article 13, the Titles of Nobility and honour amendment, in Volume I, as ratified and declared it adopted in Volume II of their Revised Codes. In the first paragraph of the first chapter of Volume I, the Virginia General Assembly declared;

"Be it enacted by the General Assembly, that there shall be published an edition of the laws of this Commonwealth in which shall be contained the following matters, that is to say: the Constitution of the United States and the amendments thereto."

In Volume II of Virginia's Revised Codes, The Virginia General Assembly declared;

"Amendments to Constitution adopted."

No other state or territory declared in the publication of its laws that the amendment had been adopted. Only Virginia did, because, as the last required vote, only Virginia could.

Virginia's Revised Codes were received by the Secretary of State on August 29, 1821 wherein someone at the Dept. of State made a handwritten notation at the bottom of the cover page of "C.1."

This left no doubt that the federal government knew that the deliberative body of Virginia had ratified and adopted the amendment as law.

Massachusetts never sent a letter of ratification to the Secretary of State. Instead, they sent their law books of 1816 with their declaration of ratification as part of that publication. It was hand written in the Roles of the State Dept. that Massachusetts had ratified. Virginia did essentially the same thing and there was no doubt in anyone's mind that it had been adopted as law, given the rapid publication by most of the other states and territories. It was even published in the Military Laws of the United States as having been lawfully adopted in 1824.

Then around 1828, a plot to circumvent the legitimacy of the amendment's adoption began to hatch. The conspirators knew it would take time to convince everyone that it had not be adopted by 13 of the original 17 states that had existed in the Union in 1810. By 1846, long after many people in the know where dead or out of power, they succeeded in the political execution of the amendment.

The execution of the amendment was necessary so that Great Britain and the European Bankers could take control of our money supply, and from there, total control of our country.

The current government’s position is that Louisiana should have been included in the vote. But, that position was added to the federal records in 1940. All records prior to that time, to include the federal governments own records of 1911, clearly held that the ratification process was limited to the original 17 states in the union in 1810 when the amendment left Congress.

Historians hold that the flurry of publications of Article 13 as lawfully adopted was due to the misbelief that South Carolina had acted favorably on the amendment. This is pure crap. Another convenient lie to mask over the truth. If anything, the mass publication was spurred by the receipt of Virginia's 1819 Revised Codes by the Executives of the other several states and territories of which abundant proof is of record. This fallacy about South Carolina was first published in 1896 as a ploy to continue the conspiratorial execution of Article 13 and further cloud the truth.

The European Bankers were trying to get more control over our money by taxing the earnings of the American people. But, in 1895, the Supreme Court held that the direct taxation of the earnings of the American people was unconstitutional. Through years of loans and manipulation, they were finally able to establish the Federal Reserve Bank and the 16th amendment to the Constitution, so they could begin to bleed the American people of their wealth and power.

One simple law that the founders put to the states, and the states adopted, could have crushed all the efforts of Great Britain and the Foreign Bankers. It's still the law, and reads as Follows;

"If any citizen of the United States shall accept, claim, receive, or retain any title of nobility or honour, or shall without the consent of Congress, accept and retain any present, pension, office, or emolument of any kind whatever, from any Emperor, King, Prince, or foreign Power, such person shall cease to be a citizen of the United States, and shall be incapable of holding any office of trust or profit under them, or either of them.”
