U.S. of A. v U.S., "The Loss of Legal Memory of the American State", introduces the reader to the various ways to create legal relations with the federal corporation known as the United States and how to sever those legal relations to become a state Citizen again with all his or her vested rights intact.

The American state, which we all lovingly call the United States of America, has known five distinct foundations of government and law. The first was colonial rule under the King of England. The colonists are believed to have thrown off the Crown for the Articles of Confederation, which created the Continental Congress (1776-1789), the second foundation of law. The Articles were replaced by the unnamed document known as the Constitution for the United States of America in 1789, which created the representative Republic, the third foundation of law. The old Union was put asunder in 1861 with Lincoln's attack on the south, which culminated in the Reconstruction Acts. The purported Amendment 14 created a new Union based on federal conquest known as federalism and therefore the fourth foundation of law.

Finally, Franklin Roosevelt ascended to the Presidency in 1933 and created the experiment in democracy known as the "New Deal." This transformation of the last vestiges of the Republic and limited general government into an all-powerful federal municipal corporation by contract brought Socialism to a once Republican form of government.

U.S. of A. v U.S. takes the reader on a journey through six key Supreme Court cases, known as the "Switch in Time." The "Switch in Time" cases redefined the constitutional interpretation of the commerce clause, welfare clause and the definition of controversy under the Constitution. The "Switch in Time" allowed the "New Deal" and it's largest legislative manifestation, Social Security, to be found Constitutional.

The authors demonstrate how the legal memory of the American State has been replaced by a return to the British system of government, all within the last 15 years. While the Supreme Court went along with Roosevelt's "New Deal" program, they left the People a remedy. U.S. of A. v U.S.
