1.8 	Sec. 18. Citizens of Minnesota are sovereign individuals, subject to Minnesota law 
1.9 	and immune from any federal laws that exceed the federal government's enumerated 
1.10 	constitutional powers. A federal law does not apply in Minnesota unless that law is 
1.11 	approved by a two-thirds vote of the members of each house of the legislature and is 
1.12 	signed by the governor. Before voting to approve a federal law, each legislator must

1.14 	of Minnesota enjoy inherent, natural, God-given rights as reflected in the Bill of Rights 
1.15 	of the United States Constitution and the Minnesota Constitution. Minnesota citizens 
1.16 	have the right to seek redress for any alleged violation of these rights committed by the 
1.17 	state of Minnesota exclusively through a jury trial in a Minnesota court and through 
1.18 	enactment of a change in Minnesota law.

2.2 	any alleged violation of constitutional rights?
