Article 1, Section 10, Items 1 through 7, Of the American Third, Direct Democracy Constitution.
Item One
No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation, with each other, or with foreign sovereign nations or states without the consent of a National Majority of the American People, in their Direct Democracy Process.
The intention of this Item 1, of Section 10, of Article 1, is to make it harder for one or more American States to drag the rest of Our Nation into war, or other violent conflict, against the National Majority Will of We The American People.
Item Two
No State shall grant "Letters of Marque and Reprisal", without the consent of a National Majority of the American People.
"Privateers" come under the same constitutional rules as those stated in Article 1, Section 8, Items 23 and 26 and are to be considered "Militia", or "Private Security Forces", or a combination of both.
Question: What are We to do about "Letters of Marque and Reprisal" issued by other sovereign nations?
Definition: In the days of fighting sail, a letter of marque and reprisal was a government license authorizing a person (known as a privateer) to attack and capture enemy vessels and bring them before admiralty courts for condemnation and sale.
"Pirates" and other types of free booting raiders are a non-National sanctioned criminal element that is "brought to Justice".
