The "POSITIVE" LAW

All of the laws of the United States have been codified into what is called the United States Code (USC). There are 50 Titles within the Code. The Titles that are passed into "positive" law are the "all encompassing" Law of the nation and can be legitimately used as "evidence" of statutory violations that result in formal "charges" against persons in our society.

The Positive Laws are marked with an asterisk.

The fact that only positive laws have general public effect can be seen to be true if one reviews Title 1 USC Section 204, which states:

1 USC § 204 Codes ... As Evidence Of The Laws...

1 USC § 204. Codes and supplements as evidence of the laws of United States and District of Columbia; citation of Codes and supplements.

(a) United States Code

whenever titles of such Code shall have been enacted into positive law the text thereof shall be legal evidence of the laws therein contained, in all courts of the United States

1 USC 204

Each Title that has been passed into positive law records and indicates such passage within the Title itself. All persons living under the laws of the United States are bound by the "positive" laws in the Titles of the U.S. Code, whereas those Titles that are not passed into positive law are limited in application to specific classes of persons and places because the Federal governement does not have criminal jurisdiction over all people (sovereigns) or places (States), for ALL matters. Title 26, the Title containing the I.R. Code, has never been passed into Positive Law and therefore does not apply to all people. Who does this Title actually apply to then, if NOT all people? Well, for starters, Foreigners under the constitutional jurisdiction over them given to the federal government, and, who else: Title 44 USC § 1505 sheds some light on this issue.
