ENCLOSED EVIDENCE:
The clause, one of the most important in the Charter, which was pressed
on King John at Runnymede, allows subjects of the realm to present a
quorum of 25 barons with a petition, which four of their number then
have to take to the Monarch, who must accept it. It was last used in 1688
at the start of the Glorious Revolution.
The four peers, who were all thrown out of Parliament in November
1999, proved they had that quorum by presenting Sir Robin Janvrin, the
Queen's private secretary, with the petition signed by 28 hereditaries and
letters of support from another 60. In addition, they claim the support of
thousands of members of the public.
They say that several articles in the Treaty of Nice agreed by Tony Blair
in December will destroy fundamental British liberties. The Queen has
40 days to respond. Under the Magna Carta's provisions, if the
Sovereign does not observe the Charter the people may rise up and wage
war on her, seizing castles, lands and possessions until they have
redress.”
Exhibit B:
“Ma’am,
1. The loss of our national independence and the erosion of our ancient
rights, freedoms and customs since the United Kingdom became a
member of the European Economic Community (now the European
Union) in 1973;
2. The terms of the Treaty of Nice, 2000, which, if ratified, will cause
significant new losses of national independence, and further imperil the
rights and freedoms of the British people, by surrendering powers to the
European Union:
a) to enter into international treaties binding on the United Kingdom,
without the consent of your Government;
b) to ban political parties, deny free association and restrict the free
expression of political opinion;
c) which can be used to introduce an alien system of criminal justice,
abolish the ancient British rights of habeas corpus and trial by jury, and
allow onto British soil men-at-arms from other countries with powers of
enforcement;
d) to create a military force which will place British service personnel
under the command of the European Union without reference to British
interests,and contrary to:
(signed).
Notes:
The House of Lords Records Office confirmed in writing as recently as
last September that Magna Carta, signed by King John in June 1215,
stands to this day. Home Secretary Jack Straw said as much on 1
October 2000, when the Human Rights Act came into force. Halsbury’s
Laws of England says: “Magna Carta is as binding upon the Crown
today as it was the day it was sealed at Runnymede.”
Article 191 –assumes for the EU the right to “lay down regulations
governing political parties at European level [ie: in the EU]” and
withdraw or prevent the funding of political parties which do not
“contribute to forming a European awareness.” This is a clear restriction
of free speech and free political association. It also introduces two
particularly abhorrent propositions – taxation without representation and
the use of sanctions to suppress public opinion.
Article 17 –establishes a common foreign and defence policy for the EU,
with its own military force. The House of Commons was told on 11
December 2000, that: “The entire chain of command must remain under
the political control and strategic direction of the EU. NATO will be
kept informed.” Her Majesty The Queen is Commander in Chief of all
her armed forces and Colonel in Chief of 46 of Her Regiments of the
British army, every other regiment owing its loyalty directly via another
member of The Royal Family as its Colonel in Chief to Her Majesty.
The loss of the UK veto applies to 39 new areas of EU “competence”,
including indirect taxation, the environment, immigration, trade,
employment, industrial policy, and regional funding. The EU also has
plans for QMV to be expended to other areas not agreed at Nice, and
without further treaty negotiations.
In 1707, Queen Anne withheld the Royal Assent from the Scottish
Militia Bill when it became apparent that James Francis Stuart
(pretender Prince of Wales, and the Queen’s half-brother) was planning
with Louis XIV of France to invade Scotland from Calais in an attempt
to establish a Jacobite sovereign. Were such an invasion to be
successful, the Queen feared a Scottish militia might be turned against
the monarchy. Thus, parliament’s will was denied in the interests of the
sovereignty of the nation and the security of the realm.
Both Magna Carta and the Declaration of Rights are contracts between
the sovereign and the people. Because they are not statute law they
cannot be repealed. Both proclaimed what were taken to be self-evident
freedoms which exist by right. Equally, both were based on a concept of
permanence.
23 March 2001.
We have petitioned Her Majesty to withhold the Royal Assent from any
Bill seeking to ratify the Treaty of Nice because there is clear evidence
(which we shall address in a moment) that it is in direct conflict with the
Constitution of the United Kingdom. It conflicts with Magna Carta, with
the Declaration and Bill of Rights and, above all, with Her Majesty's
Coronation Oath and the Oaths of Office of Her Majesty's ministers.
Every one of these protections stand to this day, which is why they are
now being invoked by our petition.
The duties arising from the relation of sovereign and subject are
reciprocal. Protection, that is, the security and governance of his
dominions according to law, is the duty of the sovereign; and allegiance
and subjection, with reference to the same criterion, the constitution and
laws of the country, form, in return, the duty of the governed. We have
already observed that the prerogatives are vested in him for the benefit
of his subjects, and that his Majesty is under, and not above, the laws.
For such words to have meaning, the act of signing the Treaty of Nice by
the foreign secretary demonstrates that ministers have de facto
renounced their oaths of allegiance.
Indeed, faced in due course with a Bill seeking ratification of the Treaty
of Nice, the only options appear to be for Her Majesty to dissolve
Parliament, or for the government to resign and fight an election on the
issue. The ex-government would then be faced with seeking elective
power to introduce new oaths of loyalty under a new constitution as part
of their new manifesto. This would distil the issues as perhaps nothing
else might, since it would allow the people of the United Kingdom to
decide whether or not they wished the constitution to be breached in this
way, their rights and freedoms to be curtailed, and the position, powers
and responsibilities of their sovereign to be diminished.
Of course, for the many thousands of subjects who have supported our
petition, no such option exists.
As the Act of Supremacy and the Bill of Rights put it: all usurped and
foreign power and authority may forever be clearly extinguished, and
never used or obeyed in this realm. no foreign prince, person, prelate,
state, or potentate shall at anytime after the last day of this session of
Parliament, use, enjoy or exercise any manner of power, jurisdiction,
superiority, authority, pre-eminence or privilege within this realm, but
that henceforth the same shall be clearly abolished out of this realm,
forever.
We return now to our reasons for stating that the Treaty of Nice is
unconstitutional. Our petition highlights several such clauses. We draw
particular attention to article 191, which seeks to restrict the political
freedom of Her Majesty's subjects.
In the event that the Treaty of Nice is considered for Royal Assent we
respectfully request that Her Majesty grant us an opportunity to examine
the opinion of those who seek to alter our constitution by contrary
advice. Accordingly, under those same terms of Magna Carta and the
Bill of Rights quoted earlier, we the undersigned, and others – have
formed a Barons Constitutional Committee to be available for
consultation and to monitor the present situation as it develops ….until
redress has been obtained.
We are and remain Her Majesty's most loyal and obedient subjects.”
The Reply
“The Queen continues to give this issue her closest attention. She is
well aware of the strength of feeling which European Treaties, such
as the Treaty of Nice, cause. As a constitutional sovereign, Her
Majesty is advised by her Government who support this Treaty. As
I am sure you know, the Treaty of Nice cannot enter force until it
has been ratified by all Member States and in the United Kingdom
this entails the necessary legislation being passed by Parliament.”
Exhibit C:
"61. Since, moreover, for God and the amendment of our kingdom and
for the better allaying of the quarrel that has arisen between us and our
barons, we have granted all these concessions, desirous that they should
enjoy them in complete and firm endurance forever, we give and grant to
them the underwritten security, namely, that the barons choose five and
twenty barons of the kingdom, whomsoever they will, who shall be
bound with all their might, to observe and hold, and cause to be
observed, the peace and liberties we have granted and confirmed to them
by this our present Charter, so that if we, or our justiciar, or our bailiffs
or any one of our officers, shall in anything be at fault towards anyone,
or shall have broken any one of the articles of this peace or of this
security, and the offense be notified to four barons of the foresaid five
and twenty, the said four barons shall repair to us (or our justiciar, if we
are out of the realm) and, laying the transgression before us, petition to
have that transgression redressed without delay.
And if we shall not have corrected the transgression (or, in the event of
our being out of the realm, if our justiciar shall not have corrected it)
within forty days, reckoning from the time it has been intimated to us (or
to our justiciar, if we should be out of the realm), the four barons
aforesaid shall refer that matter to the rest of the five and twenty barons,
and those five and twenty barons shall, together with the community
of the whole realm, distrain and distress us in all possible ways,
namely, by seizing our castles, lands, possessions, and in any other
way they can, until redress has been obtained as they deem fit,
saving harmless our own person, and the persons of our queen and
children; and when redress has been obtained, they shall resume their
old relations towards us.
And let whoever in the country desires it, swear to obey the orders of the
said five and twenty barons for the execution of all the aforesaid matters,
and along with them, to molest us to the utmost of his power; and we
publicly and freely grant leave to everyone who wishes to swear, and we
shall never forbid anyone to swear. All those, moreover, in the land
who of themselves and of their own accord are unwilling to swear to
the twenty five to help them in constraining and molesting us, we
shall by our command compel the same to swear to the effect
aforesaid.
And if any one of the five and twenty barons shall have died or departed
from the land, or be incapacitated in any other manner which would
prevent the aforesaid provisions being carried out, those of the said
twenty five barons who are left shall choose another in his place
according to their own judgement, and he shall be sworn in the same
way as the others. Further, in all matters, the execution of which is
entrusted, to these twenty five barons, if perchance these twenty five are
present and disagree about anything, or if some of them, after being
summoned, are unwilling or unable to be present, that which the
majority of those present ordain or command shall be held as fixed and
established, exactly as if the whole twenty five had concurred in this;
and the said twenty five shall swear that they will faithfully observe all
that is aforesaid, and cause it to be observed with all their might. And we
shall procure nothing from anyone, directly or indirectly, whereby any
part of these concessions and liberties might be revoked or diminished;
and if any such things has been procured, let it be void and null, and we
shall never use it personally or by another."
