USA is not a monarchy where individuals can be classed and grouped relevant or non relevant, essential or non essential. USA citizens are not attached to another person or group as chattel property, USA citizens have a right to not join a commune and become chattel property of a corporation commune.
Often a few years of crop failure, a war, or brigandage might leave a person unable to make his own way. In such a case, he could strike a bargain with a lord of a manor. In exchange for gaining protection, his service was required: in labour, produce, or cash, or a combination of all. These bargains became formalised in a ceremony known as "bondage", in which a serf placed his head in the lord's hands, akin to the ceremony of homage where a vassal placed his hands between those of his overlord. These oaths bound the lord and his new serf in a feudal contract and defined the terms of their agreement.] Often these bargains were severe.
A 7th-century Anglo Saxon "Oath of Fealty" states:
By the Lord before whom this sanctuary is holy, I will to ___________________ be true and faithful, and love all which he loves and shun all which he shuns, according to the laws of God (anti all creation serf commune corporation 2022) and the order of the world. Nor will I ever with will or action, through word or deed, do anything which is unpleasing to him, on condition that he will hold to me as I shall deserve it, and that he will perform everything as it was in our agreement when I submitted myself to him and chose his will.
