The Power of the Grand Jury: De Jure vs. De Facto

According to Corpus Juris Secundum, a foundational legal encyclopedia:

“There cannot be a grand jury de facto when there is a grand jury de jure.”

 

    •    De jure means “lawful” and constitutionally established.    

•    De facto means “in practice,” often without true legal standing.

 

So, when the people lawfully assemble under common law and reestablish a de jure grand jury, any existing government-imposed grand jury becomes illegitimate—void of lawful authority.

 

This is not rebellion. This is restoration.

 

 Purpose of a Grand Jury Was Always the People

Our Founders gave us this power:    

 

•    To investigate government corruption    

•    To hold public officials accountable    

•    To protect liberty and truth at the local level

 

But over time, this power was stripped away, hidden behind legal walls, and replaced with closed-door systems run by the very people they were supposed to hold accountable.

The Firepower of Jury Nullification

Few know this, but jury nullification is one of the most potent tools for liberty we’ve ever had. It means: A jury can refuse to convict—even if the defendant broke the law—if that law is unjust, immoral, or misapplied.

 

John Jay, the first Chief Justice of the United States, told jurors in 1794:

“The jury has a right to judge both the law as well as the fact in controversy.”

 

Today, judges often deny this power or lie about it in courtrooms. Why? Because informed, courageous jurors are a threat to tyranny.

What They Don’t Want You to Know

Ralph Boryszewski’s The Constitution That Never Was exposes how our government quietly replaced our original constitutional system after the Civil War. 

   

•    Courts of record became administrative courts    

•    Common law was replaced with corporate law    

•    The de jure grand jury was hidden—but not erased

 

We can bring it back.

This Is Your Authority. This Is Your Time.

“There cannot be a grand jury de facto when there is a grand jury de jure.”

 

This truth means: The moment we act lawfully, their illegitimate systems fall.

You don’t need permission to reclaim your authority. You need understanding.You need courage.You need experience.

 

Welcome to The People’s Authority—where truth begins, and tyranny ends.
