Dont understand what your saying here.

Concerning Hanny's infatuation with James I and his charters (from which, apparently, Hanny does not cite) is it Hanny's contention that charters derived from the Crown can superdsede the right of the whole legislature (Parliament)?
Actually i did cite it, because you asked for where the rights exist, and yes the Royal charters from the crown are above the HoP, just as Isle of man can mint coins because it has a royal llicience to do so, which pre dates parliments authority, while HoP also has the legal right to coin money for the entire UK, in Royal mints.

Default Lincoln Did Provoke the War

Hanny, do you believe the relationship of the colonies to Parliament was the same as the states to Congress?
Is Hanny confident that Royal Charters are above the HoP? I ask this because, what happended to 'with the advise and consent of the Privy Council"?
Can a later sovereign abrogate the Charter of his predecessor (with the advice and consent of the Privy Council)? Can the Privy Council advise and consent to changes in Royal Charters and If So, do the colonies in question have any authority in the matter?



P.S. Yes, I am aware that the Privy Council is not the HoP, but the important members include the P.M. and Cabinent Members. Meaning the Crown did not not have a free hand in issuing royal charters nor what they contained.
