What is Sovereign citizen movement?
The '''Sovereign citizen movement''' is a loose political movement of [[tax protest]]ers, conspiracy theorists, activists, [[auditor]]s and certain other people who claim to be answerable only to their interpretation of laws and that [[government]]s and [[court]]s only have legitimate [[jurisdiction]] over them if they consent to be ruled. These people call themselves '''sovereign citizens''', '''sovereign beings''' and similar terms. Sovereign citizens and their counterparts in British Commonwealth countries, '''freemen on the land''', claim most forms of [[taxation]], especially [[income tax]]es and [[property tax]]es, as illegitimate, and don't recognize government currencies as [[legal tender]]. The [[FBI]] classifies the sovereign citizen movement as a [[domestic terrorism]] movement. [[Category:Political movements]]
