Mike;
Welcome to the SuiJuris.net forum.
There is no such thing as a "soverign citizen" as you will learn. "Citizen" is the title of an Office of the
political corporation UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. It is the People - men and women - who are the sovereigns...
Anyways,
Here is an article that I really enjoied when I first started looking into my inherent Rights, Powers and Duties:

After you read that article, take a look at the homepage for the Common Law Venue network:
http://www.commonlawvenue.net/
There is *lots* of info at commonlawvenue.com, but before you get involved deeply in everything that it has to offer, I would like to present you with a quote from the Law of Nations that should serve as a prolepsis:
Quote:
§ 44. He ought to know the nation.
We have observed above, that every nation ought to know itself. This obligation devolves on the sovereign, since it is he who is to watch over the preservation and perfection of the nation. The duty which the law of nature here imposes on the conductors of nations is of extreme importance, and of considerable extent. They ought exactly to know the whole country subject to their authority; its qualities, defects, advantages, and situation with regard to the neighbouring states; and they ought to acquire a perfect knowledge of the manners and general inclinations of their people, their virtues, vices, talents, &c. All these branches of knowledge are necessary to enable them to govern properly.

In light of this, a good "next step" would be to study the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution for the United States of America. While you study it, keep in mind that it is the Articles of Incorporation for a
political corporation (and to use some modern corporate lingo), We the People, are the
co-owners of it... the sovereigns.
To really study the Constitution[s], you will need to have the proper dictionary and
you will need to look up the words (even if you think you know the definitions - you will be suprised what you will learn):
A LAW DICTIONARY
ADAPTED TO THE CONSTITUTION AND LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND OF THE SEVERAL STATES OF THE AMERICAN UNION
by John Bouvier
Revised Sixth Edition, 1856
http://www.constitution.org/bouv/bouvier.htm
Note: do disregard the racist and sexist portions of some of the definitions.
Here are a few more sites that I have enjoied reading info from:

P.S.
I presume that most people have read the first book of the Bible - Genisis - but that is not always true.
Even if you don't subscribe to the various religions based upon the Bible, this particular book is very key to so many principles in law that you should take another look at it if it's been a while.
This site has verious translations of it:
