Assembled in the Free and Independent State of Missouri
We, the people living on the land of Missouri, assemble in lawful exercise of our constitutionally guaranteed rights to restore and uphold the Republican form of government.
"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government."
— U.S. Constitution, Article IV, Section 4
What Is a Jural Assembly
A Jural Assembly is a lawful body of the people, convened in accordance with the foundational law of this land. It is not a political party, a corporation, nor an agency of government. It is the people themselves — the sovereign inhabitants of the land — exercising their inherent and constitutionally recognized authority.
The Missouri General Jural Assembly draws its authority from the Constitution of the United States, the Constitution of the State of Missouri, and the unalienable rights recognized in the Declaration of Independence. We assemble peaceably, in good faith, and in accordance with the law of the land.
Our purpose is education, lawful assembly, and the restoration of the Republican form of government guaranteed to every state — a government of, by, and for the people, not of corporations or administrative agencies.
"The right of the people peaceably to assemble... shall not be abridged."
— First Amendment, United States Constitution
Foundational Principles
The Missouri General Jural Assembly stands upon three foundational principles, each rooted in the supreme law of this land.
All political power is inherent in the people. Government derives its just powers from the consent of the governed. The people of Missouri are the source of all lawful authority within this state, and no act of government may lawfully abridge the rights retained by the people.
Article IV, Section 4 of the United States Constitution guarantees to every state a Republican form of government. This guarantee is not merely aspirational — it is a binding obligation of the federal compact, enforceable by the people themselves when that form has been departed from.
The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States recognizes and protects the right of the people to peaceably assemble. The Missouri General Jural Assembly exercises this right in its fullest and most lawful expression — as a body of the people, convened for the common good.
If you are a man or woman living on the land of Missouri, we invite you to learn more about your rights, your history, and the lawful assembly that stands ready to receive you. The restoration of self-governance begins with an informed and engaged people.
