Washington, D.C. was supposed to be the place where the Fifty States would join together in the formation and execution of International Policy. In other words, Washington, D.C. was to handle matters outside the sovereign borders of every state, while the states handled matters inside their borders.
The Constitution purported to give sufficient instructions for the States to accomplish this purpose. All fifty states have signed on to that Constitution and should feel bound by it. The Constitution purports to establish a representative republic. It purports to unite all the nation’s people as one body politic in the determination of foreign policy. It purports to allow fifty bodies politic to independently rule their states.
The unsolved problem has always been, “How can fifty bodies politic be joined together to act as one body politic?” Put that question to an eleventh grade American History class or to any adult discussion group. Corporation lawyers should be laughing at the stupidity of such a question. Yet, for over two centuries we Americans have not found the answer. Meanwhile, Washington, D.C. blunders along on its downhill slide.
Whenever the Fifty States decide to create equal bodies politic (districts of the same population) for their own governing, and State Senates composed of county/city government reps, they will be emulating the Founders’ design.
This qualifies the House of Representatives of every State to join with their counterparts from all other States in one Grand Assembly that is called The United States House of Representatives. They are accompanied by two Senators each, whom they have chosen to take to D.C. with them. The soft-spoken original Constitution has been saying that since 1789.
