NHELD strongly encourages every individual to become familiar with the law.
It is an absolute must if you are to protect your freedom.
After all, you won’t always have a lawyer with you when interacting with government officials,
and you may need to act quickly before contacting a lawyer, if necessary, in order to
appropriately preserve your rights.
Don’t panic, though. While it may seem a daunting task, at first, you can easily find help from
NHELD, if you need it.
Plus, reading the law for yourself will empower you with the correct information so you won’t
be duped by unscrupulous or unknowing government officials.
To make it easier for you, we have provided links to each state’s laws.
To better understand where to find the law you seek, remember how the law is prioritized.
The highest law of your state, of course, is the State Constitution. All laws made by your
state’s legislature must be drafted in accordance with that Constitution. Some states call those
laws “statutes”, others call them “Codes”, or other names. What matters is not the name.
What matters is that those laws must conform to the provisions of the State Constitution. If it
does not, then you can challenge it in court as being unconstitutional. The same is true for the
administrative laws, which are drafted by state agencies. Those laws also must be followed in
conformity with the state statutes and the state Constitution.
(Many states also have County laws. County laws are made by County governments, and they,
also, must conform to the state statutes and Constitution, and can be challenged in court as
unconstitutional and overturned. Don’t forget to research them, as well.)
Lowest in the hierarchy are “policies”. Policies are applicable within an agency, but may not be
considered enforceable law. They also must conform, however, with agency laws, statutes,
and the state Constitution.
Because it often is easier to research and understand the law if you are doing so along with
others, and because it may be easier to protect your rights when you gather with others of like
mind, NHELD suggests that you form groups for that purpose.
To facilitate that idea, NHELD is building a space for those who want to, to network to protect
their rights. Of course, as always, if you need NHELD’s assistance, we can schedule a zoom
conference with your group to walk you through things in a tutorial session. Just let us know
how we can help.
If you would like to start an NHELD legal support group, please contact us directly.
We will be happy to then post your group on our website so others can find you across the
country. Together, we can protect our rights, and the rights of our children and grandchildren
to come.
For now, please use the resources below to begin, or continue, your research.
