The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates

 

We the People of Missouri, Christian County Chapter, is holding Monday night book club meetings, beginning September 11, from 6-8 p.m., at Godfather's Pizza in Nixa.

The current selection is The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates: A Proper Resistance to Tyranny and a Repudiation of Unlimited Obedience to Civil Government, by Matthew J. Trewhella. Copies are available at the usual places, or here as a printable PDF document.

In light of the Second Amendment tyranny that New Mexico Gov. Michelle Grisham has visited upon the citizens of her state, The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates is a timely selection.

Captain Seth Keshel has written about the situation at his Substack, and recommends the book.

From his article "America Needs Statesmen":

"By allowing government oppression to take root one unjust ruling or illegal mandate at a time, we’ve now found ourselves pinned by a boulder so heavy, it requires divine intervention to get out from under here in the year 2023.  A predecessor of Michelle Lujan Grisham wouldn’t have had the guts to issue such a mandate when I was born, not even forty years ago.  It took incremental cuts into the tendons and sinews of our Constitutional framework to erode us to the point that we are begging our law enforcement to get with the program and uphold the law, and why we are now having to circulate The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates to re-educate our own citizens as to what their rights are."

The book is divided into twelve short chapters that increasingly define and explain the doctrine, how it came to be, the duty of lesser magistrates, and the role of the people. Several appendixes give supplemental information. 

The first meeting will give an overview of the book, giving participants extra time to get a copy if needed.
