Blacks law word of the day (2nd ed.): Marriage

Marriage: Marriage as distinguished from the agreement to marry and from the act of becoming married, is the civil status of one man and one woman united in law for life, for the discharge to each other and the community of the duties legally incumbent on those whose association is founded on the distinction of sex.

-Marriage is a personal relation arising out of the civil contract, to which the consent of parties capable of making it is necessary. Consent alone will not constitute marriage; it must be followed by a solemnization or by a mutual assumption of marital rights, duties or obligations.
- Marriage is the union of one man and one woman "so long as they both shall life," to the exclusion of all others by an obligation which during that time, the parties cannot of their own volition and act dissolve, but which can be dissolved only by the authority of the state.

Blacks law world of the day (2nd ed.): License

License: In the law of contracts.
A permission, accorded by a competent authority, conferring the right to do some act which without such authorization would be illegal, or would be a trespass or a tort.

What do you have licenses to that you know of?
Hunting licenses, fishing licenses, driver licenses, firearms licenses etc. etc. etc....
Are those really illegal unless stated otherwise by an authority? Who restricts you from travelling freely on the kings highways? Who expects money from you to hunt a deer for sustenance? Who keeps tabs on you for every fire arm you own for sustenance or protection?
Notice how these all have "fees" applied to them?
Funny how they've commercialized your rights to prevent abuse of them, and make a buck while they're at it.

Black's law word of the day (2nd ed.): De facto

De Facto: In fact, in deed, actually. This phrase is used to characterize an officer, a government, a past action, or a state of affairs which exists actually and must be accepted for all practical purposes, but which is illegal or illegitimate. In this sense it is contrary of de jure, which means rightful, legitimate, just, or constitutional. Thus an officer, king, or government de facto is one who is in actual possession of the office or supreme power, but by usurpation, or without respect to lawful title; while an officer, king or governor de jure is one who has just claim and rightful title to the office or power, but who has never had plenary possession of the same, or is not now in actual possession.

So a wife de facto is one whose marriage is voidable by decree, as distinguished from a wife de jure, or a lawful wife.

But the term is also frequently used to independently of any distinction from de jure; thus a blockade de facto is a blockade which is actually maintained, as distinguished from a mere paper blockade.
As to de facto "corporation." "court" "domicile," "Government," and "officer," see those titles.

In old English law. De facto means respecting or concerning the principal act of a murder, which was technically denominated factum.

- De facto contract. One which has purported to pass the property from the owner to another.
