		Yet another perspective is; the Freemen had found valid arguments such as "my fraud is as good as your fraud"; a regular quote from at least one graduate of freeman sessions that was never arrested, C Wayne Maxwell (died 05/06) of Dayton OH and Elliotville Kentucky.
		Leroy Schweitzer and the Freemen also used various other law and UCC Books (uniform commercial code)and provisions to file liens against public officals that were sold to generate equity to fund their efforts to make a "firm offer to pay off the national debt".

		At their core, Amar’s First Principles and Freemen political philosophy bear a striking resemblance to each other in their outright rejection of controlling text (notwithstanding hundreds of years of tradition to the contrary) in favor of “higher law” notions such as popular sovereignty/majority rule.
		The Freemen continually appropriate the writings of Jefferson to assert that a careful, close (almost Straussian?) reading of Jeffersonian writings on liberty and freedom will yield a body of coherent thought (at least to the Freemen shaman) that provides a justification for their movement.
		The problem with the philosophy of the Freemen is not only its theoretical incoherence, but also its historical inaccuracy: by selectively drawing from the works of the Framers, the Freemen end up with a theory that is wildly out of context.
