Franchise:

A special privilege conferred by government on individual or corporation, and which does not belong to citizens of country generally of common right. Elliott v. City of Eugene, 135 Or. 108, 294 P. 358, 360. In England it is defined to be a royal privilege in the hands of a subject -Black’s Law 4th Edition (notice something interesting about this definition: in STATE OF CALIFORNIA, people pay their State taxes to the “Franchise Tax Board.” They are literally telling you right there that your name in all caps is a FRANCHISE!)
I've notice with a lot of figures who talk about living in the private they always refer to very old versions of Black's Law from the 60's (4th,5th, 6th mostly) while 12th edition is now in print. Why is that? Are more recent versions cucked on these topics?
