What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan

I am a farmer and need to build a barn to store my crops in. The township denied my request for a variance to build the barn. I want to know if the michigan Right To Farm Act overrides township zoning? Can I build my barn without the variance.

according to the 9th amemdent of the u.s. constitution rights cant be disparaged (reduced or converted to a privilege), if anyone at anytime ever had a right to build a barn on their private property without government permission, they still have that right.



Maxims of Law from Bouvier's 1856 Law and Blacks Law 4th Dictionaries -

An established principle or proposition. A principle of law universally admitted, as being just and consonant With reason.

here are a couple of great law maxims to think about:


He who receives the benefit should also bear the disadvantage

or

He who would volunteer can't claim a damage.


----------

if me, I'd waive the benefit of voluntarily applying for this township's building permit, but thats me.

----------

you dont have to be a lawyer, to know the law.

any constitutional lawyer can tell you that, Applying for, or Recieving any government benefit or permit is deemed a privilege.
