It important for the State Jural Assemblies and the State General Assemblies, which follow, to understand the concept of 'Persons".
A "person" is created every time we name someone or something, be it a baby or a business--- every time we create any form of office, job title, military rank, pen name, married name, performer's name or nick name, too.
A person is not a living being. Your name is not you. It is a "handle", a "utility", a means of identifying you among billions of other people. It is a "representation" or "image" or "persona" of yours, that you are supposed to own and care for in the same way that you own a bicycle.
Your Proper Name, also called your Good Name, your Trade Name, or your Given Name (because it is given to you---literally) is your Lawful Person when you are standing on the land and soil of your State.
Persons fall into three basic categories: (1) unincorporated, (2) corporate, and (3) incorporated.
The first two kinds of Persons---unincorporated and corporate -- are "Lawful Persons". The distinction between unincorporated and corporate is based on degree of separation from physical actuality.
Unincorporated Lawful Persons are sometimes called First Degree Sovereigns and Corporate Lawful Persons are considered Second Degree Sovereigns.
Sovereignty is an element of free will and it is only possessed by Lawful Persons; only unincorporated entities are truly free.
So we each have our own Proper Name, which is a Lawful Person---sometimes referred to as a "Natural Person".
Private unincorporated businesses are another class of Lawful Persons known as "Business Persons". These also naturally occupy the land and soil jurisdiction of the American States.
A third kind of Lawful Person is called a Corporate Business Person -- not "incorporated" -- merely "corporate".
A Lawful Corporate Business Person is typically formed by one or more unincorporated businesses. Unions, Leagues, Clubs, Holding Companies, Fellowships, Federations, and some forms of Trusts are Lawful Corporate Business Persons.
Our unincorporated state republics joined together to form the unincorporated union of states doing business as The United States.
The United States is a "Lawful Corporate Business Person" called a "Union" doing business for other businesses--- the member state republics.
The United States of America is also a "Lawful Corporate Business Person" called a "Holding Company" doing business for other businesses -- the member States.
All Lawful Persons are unincorporated entities. All Lawful Persons can freely conduct domestic trade and international trade on the land or sea.
Lawful Persons are of a different class and kind of Person than Legal Persons.
It's important to know that the entire actual American Government is unincorporated and populated by Lawful Persons.
When you return "home" to the land and soil of your State of the Union, you do so as a Lawful Person. When you act as a State Citizen and as a member of your State Jural Assembly, you do so as a Lawful Person.
It's equally important to know that the Federal Government --- all three branches of it: Federal, Territorial, and Municipal --- is incorporated and inhabited by Legal Persons, instead. All Federal Citizens whether defined by Article 1 Section 2, Clause 2 or Article 1, Section 3, Clause 3 or by the 14th Amendment are acting as incorporated franchises or agents or officers of commercial corporations and are acting in a different capacity and a separate jurisdiction. We shall treat Legal Persons as a separate topic.
The American Government is composed of Lawful Persons and the Federal Government is composed of Legal Persons.
This is an important distinction and deserves your careful thought, notice, and consideration.
The Bible, which is the source of Land Law throughout most of the world, takes a dim view of "persons" and "personages" ---- criticism which is largely addressed to officials bearing titles, royal persons, and legal persons who fail to live up to their duty:

1 Samuel 22:22
And David said unto Abiathar, I knew it that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul: I have occasioned the death of all the persons of thy father's house.

Jonah 4:11
And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?
Deuteronomy 1:17
Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it.

Many thanks to my friend in Australia, Cameron -McGregor/Mukunda, who compiled the above list of Bible references about persons and shared with me, as I share with you.
