I think that there is a sound basis for all law in Mathew 7:12: the golden rule. The opposite of law, therefore, is for people to do unto others what they themselves would defend against were someone to do it to them. That clearly expresses the moral difference, or lawful difference if the law is, in fact, based on morality, between aggression, with malice aforethought, and defense.
This goes deeper when considering Proverbs 4:14-17, where it is explained in no uncertain terms that an immoral choice, such as aggression upon the innocent, consumes the aggressor as well as the target of aggression: adding more reason to both sides of the Golden Rule.
In our American history is the following from the first congress, while the British were perpetrating war of aggression for profit: rioting in the blood of the innocent:
"That the question was not whether, by a declaration of independence, we should make ourselves what we are not; but whether we should declare a fact which already exists:
"That, as to the people or Parliament of England, we had always been independent of them, their restraints on our trade deriving efficacy from our acquiescence only, and not from any rights they possessed of imposing them; and that, so far, our connection had been federal only, and was now dissolved by the commencement of hostilities:
"That, as to the king, we had been bound to him by allegiance, but that this bond was now dissolved by his assent to the late act of Parliament, by which he declares us out of his protection, and by his levying war on us a fact which had long ago proved us out of his protection, it being a certain position in law, that allegiance and protection are reciprocal, the one ceasing when the other is withdrawn:"
How is that not clearly the same message offered in Mathew 7:12, the Golden Rule, and what amounts to the opposite of the Golden Rule which is Proverbs 4:14-17? What mental gymnastics, what lies that create a web of deceit, are required to fail to see a simple truth?
A voluntary association for mutual defense, which is in itself a benefit, which includes the power required to defend against any aggressor, is the law of the land, at least in America at the start of British aggression.
When Americans are led into an involuntary association, on the other hand, such as subsidizing African slavery, solving the so-called Indian problem with the extermination of those tribes, a predictable war to wipe out any remaining freedom loving, liberty loving people, falsely called a Civil War, on, and on, and on, consuming all moral knowledge in the wake of the march toward an American Empire, modelled after the British Empire, complete with summary justice courts, usurping rule of law, and complete with central banking fraud, with the required extortion methods hidden as tax - when Americans are led or forced by deceit, forced by threat of aggressive violence, and forced by torturous and horrifying examples of aggressive violence - to take the path of involuntary association for mutual destruction, instead of voluntary association for mutual defense, then we all go down with that ship like rats: the same rat smell Patrick Henry publicized for our benefit, or for our choice to ignore the warning, and proceed hell bent on the rat cage path.
If people refuse to see simple truths and are led instead to borrow the complex findings of so-called authorities that concern our temporal salvation, what can be expected? The law of the land, which is something every functioning adult can comprehend, is our power to defend ourselves with a tried and true process that has worked for thousands of years, is gone, and lost for as long as people refuse to see a simple truth.
So far from the law America, and thereby Americans, have become, in point of fact, the majority of even the remaining so-called Liberty Lovers, Patriots, etc., are card-carrying Nationalists bent on Empire Building, and claiming they are in the right, which is the precise opposite of well-established laws based upon facts.
