Empire of Morocco · 1836 Treaty of Peace and Friendship

Apple spent $900 million for a conditional sovereignty premium.
The oldest U.S. treaty delivers one for $0.

The 1836 Treaty is a sovereign grant — not a bilateral contract. The rights it conveys are vested, irrevocable, and constitutionally protected. No legislation can repeal them. No administration can revoke them. No termination can destroy them. They belong to you forever.

This is not a trade agreement.
It is a sovereign grant.

In 1836, the Emperor of Morocco issued a unilateral sovereign act — sealed with his Blessed Seal, written in Arabic, delivered as a completed grant. The United States received it. The transaction is complete. The grantee cannot undo it.

"The Treaty, it will be observed, being sealed by the Emperor according to the diplomatic custom observed in this Empire, bears the form of a grant."

— James R. Leib, U.S. Consul at Tangier, October 11, 1836

"The theory seems to have been somewhat similar to our notion of a unilaterally executed grant and its delivery."

— Hunter Miller, Treaties (U.S. Government Printing Office, 1931)

Why this can never be taken away — four Supreme Court principles:

1810
Fletcher v. Peck
A grant is a contract executed. The obligation survives the power of the legislature to repeal it.
1823
Society v. Pawlet
Vested rights under a grant survive changes in government — revolution, succession, regime change.
1889
Chae Chan Ping
Congress cannot divest rights already vested under a treaty.
1933
Cook v. United States
A later statute does not supersede a treaty unless Congress expressly says so. None has.

Even if the treaty is terminated under Article 25, the vested rights survive. The grant predates the enforcement mechanism. The Emperor's act controls.

18 Always-On Default Protections

These are not benefits to negotiate. They are obligations owed to you by every U.S. agency the moment the Article 4 signal activates. No application. No approval. No fee.
