LESSON 04 : Basics of Sovereignty, Summary of Freedom
Course
Farah Javed
A foundational course on the divine basis of sovereignty, the true source of freedom, and the lawful limits of government authority.
This micro-learning course, 'Basics of Sovereignty, Summary of Freedom,' guides learners through the biblical, legal, and moral foundations of sovereignty and individual freedom. Across ten concise modules, you will explore the divine origin of sovereignty, the rightful flow of authority from God to individuals and only then to government, and the critical role of informed consent in establishing lawful government power. The course covers essential topics such as the creation and ownership of wealth, the duties and limits of government, the dangers of idolatry and legal deception, and the importance of defending natural rights rooted in divine delegation. You will also learn about the mechanisms by which sovereignty is lost—often through ignorance or tacit consent—and practical steps for restoring personal and collective freedom. Key principles such as public vs. private property, constitutional and judicial protections, jury nullification, and the impact of government franchises and the Thirteenth Amendment are examined. Each module includes clear overviews, learning outcomes, detailed content, and practical resources to help you apply these principles as a citizen dedicated to lawful self-governance under God.
