The concept of the sovereignty of the individual is well established. Sovereign Pete is correct that people don’t understand the language of laws, sovereignty and Rights, yet he continually conflated the “right” of government to undertake an action for the authority to do that thing. No government has any “right” over the sovereign individual, but they do, in limited cases, have an authority over the individual. An authority that we grant them.

Thomas Jefferson’s “deriving it’s just authority from the consent of the governed”.

He is correct in that we need to tell all governments that claim authority over us, that we withdraw our consent.

Yes, well established, but not widely known and even less well understood
