Iron Sharpens Iron Essay #26 Order Out of Chaos: Why a Solid Constitution Makes Such Remedies Less Necessary

In a world without New California State movement and without the broader reset happening under President Trump, many people would have almost no options left except tools like remonstrances, grand jury presentments, and formal notices to government.
Those are often the only ways people feel they can push back when the normal constitutional channels have been eroded.
Although these remedies sometimes work — because they can draw public attention and force a response — they are not reliable or accessible for most people. They tend to help only a small group of knowledgeable constitutionalists who know how to use them. The average person is left without effective protection.

What the Remonstrance to the IRS Represents

The Remonstrance to the IRS that is currently circulating draws heavily from natural law and common law principles. It frequently quotes John Locke on natural rights, property, and the idea that government derives its just powers from the consent of the governed. It also references Black’s Law Dictionary to challenge legal definitions of terms such as “person,” “taxpayer,” and “citizen,” arguing that the IRS is operating outside its proper jurisdiction over living men and women.
These are serious, well-intentioned efforts rooted in the belief that formal notice and proper legal construction can restore individual rights. When they succeed, it is usually because they generate enough visibility or pressure to force some level of accountability.

What “Order Out of Chaos” Really Looks Like

“Order Out of Chaos” is a well-known strategy: create or highlight a problem (or the perception of one), then offer a “solution” that quietly expands centralized power while appearing to fix the issue. 

Clear examples include:

  • Measure A in California counties
    Some counties used grand jury findings or public pressure around sheriff accountability to pass measures like Measure A. On the surface it looked like reform. In practice, it shifted real power from the independently elected constitutional sheriff to the Board of Supervisors — centralizing control at the political level.
  • Commissioner-type structures
    Many counties have moved toward unelected or appointed commissioners and agencies. These often sound professional, but they quietly remove power from elected officials and local voters. President Trump has been actively working to dismantle many of these entrenched centralized power structures.
  • Emergency powers during COVID
    Many states and cities used the chaos of the pandemic to expand executive authority, impose lockdowns, and override local governments and individual rights. What was sold as temporary emergency measures became normalized power grabs that were very hard to roll back.
  • “Reforms” that sound good but centralize power
    Throughout U.S. history, various “good governance” reforms (redistricting commissions, stronger state oversight of local budgets, etc.) have often had the effect of pulling power upward from counties and cities into state bureaucracies or unelected bodies.
In each case, chaos (real or manufactured) created the opening for a “solution” that moved authority further away from the People.

The Servitude Mindset Completes the Loop

Even the clearest constitutional language is not enough on its own.

We hold these truths to be self-evident: all men are created equal.

But men have a sinful nature that can be corrupted. History shows that even the best frameworks (including many churches) eventually drift if the hearts of the people operating them are not renewed. 
This is why a Servitude mindset — loving God with all our heart, soul, and might, and loving our neighbor as ourselves — must be the true foundation. It is the only real safeguard against the natural drift toward centralization, self-protection, and power.

If NCS builds a strong, clear constitution that explicitly protects:

  • The true definition of “We the People” (natural human beings only),
  • Allodial title for private property,
  • Real county and city sovereignty over local land, resources, and affairs,

…then we create a system that protects all people equally — not just the lucky few who know how to file remonstrances or navigate grand juries.

A well-designed constitution acts as the primary safeguard. It makes it much harder for “order out of chaos” tactics to succeed because the boundaries of authority are clearly written and difficult to change. The State’s role becomes limited and protective rather than dominant. Counties can truly govern themselves instead of constantly fighting for scraps of authority.
This is the difference between reacting to problems after they appear and preventing the structural conditions that create those problems in the first place.

When we combine:

  • Strong constitutional protections,
  • A practical regenerative framework for counties,
  • A Servitude mindset in the people,

we create something that protects all people, not just the knowledgeable few.

The Opportunity Before Us

We have a living window to design a system that restores real authority to We The People at the county and individual level.
That is why getting these foundational protections into the constitution now — before legislation begins in earnest — is so important. Once the structure hardens, it becomes extremely difficult to change.

Iron sharpens iron.

Let us build something structurally different so that future generations do not have to rely on the same limited remedies we see today. Let us create a foundation strong enough that all people — not just the knowledgeable few — are protected under the principle that all men are created equal.

The future really will be amazing.
