Sovereign
A chief ruler with supreme power; a king or other ruler with limited power.
Citizen
In general, A member of a free city or jural society, (civitas.) possessing all the rights and privileges which can be enjoyed by any person under its constitution and government, and subject to the corresponding duties.
The only sovereign in this universe could be our Creator.
Anyone who refers to another as a “sovereign citizen” is an uneducated puppet. There can be no such thing. The “sovereign citizen” is purely a propaganda tool to try and label anyone who questions the legitimacy of those who call themselves “government”.
If you have evidence you have been labelled a “sovereign citizen” you might consider suing the offenders for defamation, especially if they have shared their opinion about your character with other agencies.
Gray v Jones [1939] 1 All ER 798
Slander; words actionable per se; words imputing criminal offence
(172 words)
FactsThe defendant said the following to the claimant: “You are a convicted person. I will not have you here.” The claimant brought an action for slander. The jury found that the words were in fact said by the defendant and awarded damages to the claimant. The defendant disagreed with the conclusion.
Issues
The question before the Court was whether the defendant’s words were actionable even without proof of special damage.
Decision/Outcome
The Court found that, in this case, the words said to the claimant were in fact actionable without proof of special damage. This was not because the words caused the claimant to face criminal prosecution (he had arguably been through criminal proceedings already), but because such words could make other people exclude the claimant from society and could make him the subject of ridicule, hatred and contempt. The defendant’s words could well have caused others to believe that the claimant was convicted of a criminal offence for which he should have been imprisoned – instead of being there with them, free.
