Importance Of An Allodial Title

Improved Essays
tried to make sense of how we currently regulate our roadways.
I first looked closer at the vehicle titles the state provides, given the fact this this was of great interest to me. What I discovered was that the titles they provide are not an Allodial titles which would constitute absolute ownership of real property but instead feudal titles. These feudal titles are exactly like the land titles granted to peasants by nobles in medieval Europe when feudalism was the dominant social system. These titles stated that, “Peasants were obliged to live on their lord 's land and give him homage, labor, and a share of the produce, notionally in exchange for military protection” ("Definition of Feudalism in English:"). The significance of this is that

So how could someone prove ownership without a title? I actually found several ways to prove ownership, the best options were to either get an allodial title, conditionally sign a state title, form a notarized document, or to make use of our guaranteed due process. Given the fact that due process comes in court only after legal citation my primary goal became to seek out an allodial title. As it turns out vehicle manufactures create allodial titles called Manufacturer 's Certificate of Origin or MCO, this is transferred to dealerships and they are provided upon purchase of a vehicle ("Vehicle Information Services"). Unfortunately I found out getting one of these would not be possible, all thanks to a play on power by the DMV. When you buy a vehicle, the dealership sends the MCO off to the DMV so it can be registered, the only chance you would ever have at getting the MCO is if immediately upon purchase of a brand new vehicle you requested the MCO and to not register the vehicle. After the DMV does get the MCO it is as good as gone, they scan it “for their records” and shred it, I discovered this when I personally called the DMV requesting my MCO. I was informed that it would be impossible for me —or anyone else for that matter— to attain this

    “Mom, I can’t do it,” I repeated, exasperated, for the second time since we started driving together the previous week. It was the summer I turned 17 and I was finally conquering my Achilles’ heel — learning to drive. The car moved slightly too much to the left. I hit the brakes and the car jerked, something that gave both my mother and me headaches.…

    On the Nature of Property – Jean-Sifrein Maury In the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen, it is stated that “property is an inviolable and sacred right…” and the current draft of the Constitution states that “the constitution guarantees the inviolability of property or a just and prior indemnity for that of which a legally established public necessity may demand the sacrifice.” This is a section of the Constitution that should be applauded. For in this statement, there lies a great and admirable protection of citizens – a protection of them from the government. By stating this as law no longer can the government take anyone’s land in the state and if they do, just compensation is required.…

    Runaway Slave Punishments and Devices Kindred is a great book by Octavia E. Butler about a young woman that goes back in time into the Antebellum era to save one of her ancestors named Rufus. He is her great great grandfather. He lived in a somewhat southern state at least south enough at the time for them to have slaves. Their family didn’t treat the slaves as bad as some families did in more southern states but they still treated them as if they were still their property and technically they were. So if the slaves did something they weren’t supposed to do they had a punishment some worst than others depending on what they did.…

    In the Kelo v. New London court case, Suzette Kelo and eight petitioners opposed a eminent domain taking “projected to create in excess of 1,000 jobs, to increase tax and other revenues, and to revitalize an economically distressed city” (“Kelo” 472). Suzette Kelo claimed the “extensive improvements” that she had made on her house justified her ability to block this development plan (476). Others claimed that their “investment properties,” because they were not “blighted or otherwise in poor condition,” could not be taken by the government (476). Do Kelo’s and the other defendants’ claim to their property through proper maintenance and labor supersede the governments right to repossess the properties for economic development?…

    When the Fifth Amendment was passed in the United States, part of its function was to give the government the power of eminent domain. The power of allows them to take an individual’s private property in return for “just compensation” for “public use” with the intent to better off a community. This could mean that a plot of land could be seized by the government with plans to become a road or a canal. In those cases, the government would be turning a private plot of land into a “public use” in which everyone would benefit from. Interestingly enough though, in the past some important cases have made people question whether or not the government should have that power for many reasons.…

    I agree with some of your points on Martin’s challenges regarding the rental property regarding survivorship. However, we have different insight on the advice we would give him as his lawyer. Martin did in fact purchase the house approximately thirty-one years ago, but he has not visited it in over twenty years. North Carolina case law, such as Potts v. Burnette, 1981, has upheld the requirement for one to take possession of a property by means of adverse possession one must occupy the property openly and notoriously for twenty years (Potts v. Burnette, 1981).…

    Visualize a small slot racing car in your mind, racing down a set track at ludicrous speeds while a human controls it. It is traveling down a set track, it cannot control its velocity or its cornering, whereas it could disfunction if the human controlling it had made a certain human error. From a civic perspective, this slot car is devoid of power, or free will. It cannot control its own speed, motion, velocity, acceleration, braking points, or anything else that the human driver can control. However, the “slot racing cars” of literature are detectable in dystopian literature, in which a tyrannic government believes that they thoroughly control every citizen.…

    How to Transfer a Motor Vehicle Title “Another satisfied customer,” I sarcastically think to myself as the customer storms out of the license center, about to unleash their wrath on anyone in their path. This is a common thing at most department of motor vehicle or license centers; someone is upset because they can’t transfer the title of their motor vehicle. Maybe it is because the seller signed the buyer’s spot, or maybe it is because they didn’t have enough to pay for the title transfer. Whatever the situation is, no one wants to sit and wait patiently for half an hour or more, then be told that we can’t process your transaction today. Anything the license clerk tells you after that sounds like the voice of Charlie Brown’s parents.…
