The constitutional design we have is fatally flawed. Governments are instituted primarily to protect PRIVATE property and PRIVATE rights. All rights are property. The first step in that process is keep the two LEGALLY separate at all times and never allow them to be cominged or confused.
Separation Between Public and Private, Form #12.025
https://sedm.org/LibertyU/SeparatingPublicPrivate.pdf
Government, after all, is just a security guard you hire with "taxes" to protect your private property. Would you hire a security guard to protect your valuables who insisted as his compensation that he share an ownership interest in the property you are hiring him to protect? NOT! The separation between PUBLIC and PRIVATE BEGINS with the idea that only while serving in an official privileged capacity as a voter or jurist can your activites be civillly regulated in any way, UNLESS you volunteer by ADDING ON franchise participation ON TOP of the CITIZEN role.
“In a legal or narrower sense, the term “franchise” is more often used to designate a right or privilege conferred by law, [1] and the view taken in a number of cases is that to be a franchise, the right possessed must be such as cannot be exercised without the express permission of the sovereign power [2] –that is, a privilege or immunity of a public nature which cannot be legally exercised without legislative grant. [3] It is a privilege conferred by government on an individual or a corporation to do that “which does not belong to the citizens [NATIONALS or “nationals of the United StatesP” who are nonresident aliens] of the country generally by common right.” [4] For example, a right to lay rail or pipes, or to string wires or poles along a public street, is not an ordinary use which everyone may make of the streets, but is a special privilege, or franchise, to be granted for the accomplishment of public objects [5] which, except for the grant, would be a trespass. [6] In this connection, the term “franchise” has sometimes been construed as meaning a grant of a right to use public property, or at least the property over which the granting authority has control. [7]”
[American Jurisprudence 2d, Franchises, §1: Definitions (1999)]
Privilege. A particular benefit or advantage enjoyed by a person, company, or class beyond the common advantages of other citizens [meaning POLITICAL citizens* who are “nationals of the United StatesP” or “U.S.* nationals”]. An exceptional or extraordinary power or exemption. A peculiar right, advantage, exemption, power, franchise, or immunity held by a person or class, not generally possessed by others.
[Black’s Law Dictionary, Sixth Edition, p. 1197]
The Constitution is a trust indenture that establishes a body corporate called "government" which is the SERVANT of consenting CIVIL members of the body politic. The only thing any trust can do is manage property conveyed INTO it voluntarily. Once conveyed into the trust, that property becomes PUBLIC. BEFORE it is conveyed it defaults to PRIVATE. Joining a civil franchise is the mechism to DO that VOLUNTARY conveyance. That joining process requires that you voluntarily pursue a civil statutory status legislatively created and owned as PUBLIC property by its CREATOR, the body corporate government. See:

Once you both ASK FOR and RECEIVE a the civil status they created and own, you agree to be regulated and taxed, becaused that status is their property and they can regulate and tax the USE of that property anywhere it is found under Article 4, Section 3, Clause 2 of the constitution. On this site, we use "civil status", "legal status", or "tax status" interchangebly because they are all implemented by the civil statutory law that you must CONSENT to be subject to by choosing a voluntary domicile. That civil status always conveys a combination of "privileges" and "obligations" that always travel together. When you ask of the PRIVILEGES of a civil status, the OBLIGATIONS always unavoidable come along for the ride. They had to do it this way to make sure that you always pay your own way.
All of the problems we face originate in legal ignorance that causes us to invisibly consent to voluntarily share ownership or control of our PRIVATE property with the government, and in joining the collective "state". Once that form of "collectivism" is implemented, whether knowingly or not, the roles of Master and Servant reverse and now the Body Corporate Government changes from Servant of the Sovereign People to their Master. The result is called a "dulocracy". You have no one to blame but yourself for tolerating and even helping to implement that collectivist dulocratic form of government based on "The Administrative State".
When you pursue privileges or franchises, you are assimilated INSIDE the corporation and become "domestic". Once inside, you become synonymous with the body corporate and a SERVANT and AGENT of that body corporate government. The private you then becomes invisible and you now work usually without pay or tangible benefit in exchange for the PRIVILEGE
The solution to the dilemma we find ourselves in is to insist on personal responsiblity and self-ownership. You can't own yourself until you take complete and personal responsiblity for yourself. The two always go hand in hand. Owning yourself and your property BEGINS by not sharing that ownership or control with ANYONE. If you never pursue any civil privileges or franchises or the civil statuses they implement, you can't lose that ownership or control unless you injure someone, in which case control over your property is involuntarily lost to pay the damages you caused..
To maximize your liberty, all we have to do is MINIMIZE the franchises and privileges you voluntarily engage in and never ask the government for ANYTHING. If you do that, the legal definition of "justice" itself requires that the government as an AGENT of the Sovereign body politic must leave you alone and not regulate or tax you. This requires that you become very familar with how to AVOID privileges and franchises as follows:
Volunteering is done by implied consent, tacit procuration, and voluntary election. Because that process is invisible to most people by virtue of their legal ignorance, they somehow think the government is a corrupt tyrant. The real problem is far more subtle and originates in their own legal ignorance and apathy. Americans are not taught law in the public school or even university unless they major in the field. This has cause morality and ethics to be surrended to a priesthood of covetous lawyers, bureaucrats, and judges. It has also put "justice" out of reach for most people because of the high prices this unjust cartel charges for its mafia "protection racket" services. Your legal ignorance is not an accident. It is ENGINEERED to produce "wards of the state" so that licensed officers of the government can "attorn" and manage property they have no business controlling or benefitting from to begin with.
To dismantle the system, we must stop seeking the approval or protecting of our legal oppressors and we must employ the Sun Tzu Proverbs of War. Sun Tzu said to defeat your enemy, you must use their greatest strength against them. We must fight abandaon all their PUBLIC franchises and privileges and replace them with our own PRIVATE franchises and privileges. In order to resist our tactics, they will not be able to avoid helping us destroy and undermine their own source of power.
Like The Matrix movie, we feed our oppressors with our own energy by often unknowingly plugging ourselves into it by our consent and elections into privileges and franchises. We must unplug from these methods of exploitation before we have any hope of progress. The problems we face cannot be solved from the "inside". To fix these probelms we have to leave that system and lawfully withdraw our monetary support by pursuing a foreign and PRIVATE and therefore FOREIGN status:

There is a systematic way to approach reform, which can be reduced, with some oversimplification, to the following steps:
You are unlikely to find a single scholar who has dealt deeply with all of the terms used in the sophistic equivocation. To unite them behind a single set of proposals will take getting them to educate one another on all the terms. Below is an example how do do that:
