I am Not a Corporate Fiction. Are You? Affidavit of Status a Reservation of all Rights as an American and a Human
UCC § 1-308 – Performance or Acceptance Under Reservation of Rights
(a) A party that with explicit reservation of rights performs or promises performance or assents to performance in a manner demanded or offered by the other party does not thereby prejudice the rights reserved. Words such as “without prejudice,” “under protest,” or the like are sufficient.
(b) Subsection (a) does not apply to an accord and satisfaction.

✅ Key Takeaways:
• It protects your right to engage in an act (such as signing a ticket, paying a fee, or responding to a notice) without giving up your rights — so long as you clearly state your reservation (e.g., writing “without prejudice UCC 1-308”).
• It does not apply where a full settlement or agreement (“accord and satisfaction”) has already been reached.
This is why people who reject presumed commercial jurisdiction or corporate citizenship often reference UCC 1-308 in documents — as a written notice that no waiver or admission is intended.
Affidavit of Status and Reservation of Rights
Regarding the Corporate Nature of the 17th Amendment and Post-14th Amendment U.S. Jurisdiction
⸻
Affiant: I, (Your Name Goes Here), a natural-born man, competent in mind and body, hereby affirm the following under penalty of perjury under the laws of the united States of America (as originally constituted and ratified in 1787), and not under any adhesion contract, corporate jurisdiction, or presumed statutory incorporation thereof.
⸻
I. Declaration of Standing and Citizenship
1. I am not a “citizen of the United States” as defined by the 14th Amendment, but a free and sovereign inhabitant, born on the land of one of the several states united by compact, and therefore a citizen of my state, and only derivatively of the union formed by the Constitution of 1787.
2. I do not voluntarily submit to any de facto corporate jurisdiction imposed by the District of Columbia or its subsidiaries, nor do I consent to corporate personhood or status as an “individual,” “resident,” or “taxpayer” as defined by the United States Code.
⸻
II. Concerning the 14th Amendment and Federal Incorporation
3. The ratification of the 14th Amendment in 1868 — under coercion and martial influence — redefined citizenship not as a natural right, but as a privileged legal status under federal corporate jurisdiction.
4. This act, along with the District of Columbia Organic Act of 1871, effectively incorporated the federal government and created a dual structure: the original constitutional republic, and a commercial overlay managed by administrative statutes.
⸻
III. The 17th Amendment and the Severing of State Sovereignty
5. The 17th Amendment, ratified in 1913, removed the election of Senators from state legislatures and gave it to the general populace — thereby severing the states’ representation in the federal structure and reducing the states to administrative districts rather than sovereign participants in a constitutional compact.
6. I assert that the 17th Amendment functions not within the original compact of the Constitution, but within the altered, post-14th Amendment framework — a framework under which the states no longer control the Senate, the people no longer elect a President through the states, and federal control is centralized.
⸻
IV. Reservation of Rights and Legal Status
7. I reject any presumption of corporate contract or adhesion to federal statutory jurisdiction that would redefine me as a U.S. person, citizen, subject, debtor, or legal fiction.
8. I reserve all rights, liberties, and immunities inherent to a living man under the laws of nature and nature’s God, and under the authority of the Constitution for the united States of America, as originally ratified and amended lawfully (excluding fraudulent or post-corporate usurpations).
9. Any attempt to enforce against me a status or obligation inconsistent with this affidavit shall be considered a violation of due process, equal protection, and the compact between the states and the people.
