I.   Introductory provisions

No law may exist, be written or enforced as a Sovereign Law or any other equivalent description unless it confirms to the body of Canon Law preceding this Canon, also known as Astrum Iuris Divini Canonum in accordance with the most sacred covenant Pactum De Singularis Caelum.

Sovereign Law is the body of statutes and ordinances of an ecclesiastical, sovereign or political entity issued by proper authority in accordance with these canons for the moderation of trusts and estates by sovereigns also known as General Executor(s). As valid Sovereign Law is in accordance with these Canons, the word Canon is equivalent to describing valid Sovereign Law.

Any law claiming to be Canon or related to sovereignty or the function of executors that is presently in force which is contrary to the prescript of these Canons is therefore reprobate, suppressed and not permitted to be revived.

As Sovereign Law ultimately refers to rules created by men and women, not natural or divine, all valid Sovereign Law may be said to be Positive Law and derived from Positive Law. Therefore, a Positive Law cannot abrogate, suspend, nor change a Natural Law or Cognitive Law. Nor is it possible for a Positive Law, Cognitive Law or Natural Law to abrogate, suspend or change a Divine Law.

A Sovereign Law is established and takes force when it is promulgated in accordance with these Canons.

All Sovereign Law may be defined by twelve (12) Chapters including: Concepts, Regnum, Sovereign, Imperium, Instruction, Decree, Covenant, Piety, Visitation, Prescription, Rescription and Conscience.

When anyone references, writes or speaks of Sovereign Law it shall mean these Canons and no other.
