Land is the foundation of existence.  Private ownership of land is the aspiration that led our forefathers to brave the oceans and  the great unknown.  Private ownership of land is a fundamental principle of freedom, enshrined in  the U.S. Constitution.  Yet, private ownership of land is diminishing, and government ownership and control of land use is expanding.

The links in the left column shed great light on why and how this transformation of the American experience is occurring.  Some of the documents found here are available nowhere else.  These documents are enlightening, and often, depressing. 

Sovereignty International has been at the forefront of protecting this vital, fundamental principle of freedom.  We hope this information will be useful.
