About the Republic
The California state Republic of 1849 was the original, de jure government established by California’s founding fathers. This true constitutional government was effectively set aside in 1879, when corporate interests assumed control and introduced a new state constitution. Most Californians were unaware of this transformation then — and many remain unaware today.
Similarly, the U.S. federal government had been corporatized earlier under the Organic Act of 1871. Over time, each level of government across the nation became corporate entities, with local governments functioning as franchises of those above them. As a result, lawful, people-based governance has long been replaced by administrative corporate structures.
Corporations can’t create laws. They can only create private corporate policy, statutes and codes. Everything they have created that they currently call laws are really private corporate policy which they impose on the people (the people being “commercial vessels” which they created with the introduction of birth certificates).
Reseating and Restoring the Republic — Bringing back the American and California Dream
For generations, Americans have sensed that something is deeply wrong with our system of governance. Politicians often speak of “serving the people,” yet the power lies in the hands of corporations, lobbyists, and unelected bureaucrats, instead of the people they claim to serve. Laws increasingly cater to special interests, while families, small communities, and the homeless are left behind.
The California state Republic of 1849 is grounded in the belief that our founders gave us an enduring gift — a Constitutional Republic in which government serves the people, not the reverse. Over time, that vision has been eroded by corporate influence and greed, political theater, and misplaced priorities.
Our purpose is to restore constitutional self-governance in California peacefully and lawfully — beginning at the grassroots level. We aim to empower counties to function as de jure self-governing entities, marked by minimal regulation, reduced bureaucracy, and a renewed commitment to protecting God-given rights.
But this mission is about more than governance. It’s about rebuilding the bonds of community — fostering health, prosperity, and unity among families and neighbors. It’s about preserving the right of parents to raise and educate their children freely and ensuring that true education, not indoctrination, thrives once again.
San Bernardino county Jural Society’s role
The San Bernardino county Jural Society was seated in 2024 and settled on the land in San Bernardino county in 2025 in alignment with the de jure California Republic. The purpose of doing so was to establish San Bernardino county as a settled county with a de jure jural assembly in order to support the settlement of the California free State as de jure in the same. This jural society recognizes the original number of twenty-seven counties in California (upon admission to the union of states) and settles on the land in San Bernardino county in harmony with them.
We, as members of the California state Republic, ARE the California state Republic. None of us, as members are above one another, and together, we the people will LAWFULLY restore and uphold the California state Republic’s Constitution of 1849.
