Think about this. 1864 The District of Columbia was incorporated within the boundaries of the United States. The United States effectively became a corporation and the Republic was dissolved and replaced with a Democracy. People back then had no movies, video games, Hollywood demigods, the internet, smart phones, etc. with which to distract themselves and they still did not know what was happening!
D.C. was "incorporated" like almost every city or town in the U.S. has been 'incorporated."
D.C. was incorporated in response to the wording of the law, just like almost every city or town in the U.S.
D.C. is a place, not a company, and the elected federal officials there have nothing at all to do with the District, it's just where they meet.
The U.S. Government has always been a Democratic Republic. It was never a pure republic.
Your misunderstandings of "incorporation," "republic" and "democracy" as well as the District of Columbia lead you to incorrect conclusions.
They went from being free, that is, they were individual sovereign entities, to being subsidieries of a corporation. Always look to Black's Law Dictionary for definitions. This is the reason that prior to 1864, people could declare war on one another and have a shootout at high noon on the streets and be perfectly within their rights to do so.
As they can even today, though they'd probably get run over.
Any survivor of such a duel could make a legitimate self-defense claim, you know.
We live in a two party state, the problem they are missing is that BOTH parties are employed by the same employer. The Federal Democracy of the Distric of Columbia, NOT the people.
Again, D.C. is a town, not the Federal Government.
As of this writing, I don't believe that the people have any representation in government at all. If people want to make a change, they MUST start there. Having representation is crucial. Without it, they will accomplish nothing. That having been said, I don't believe that the people are prepared or even capable of governing themselves. After more than 150 years, they are hopelessly dependent on the Federal Democracy. They are ignorant and they are lazy.
People governing themselves is a Democracy. Anyone that thinks a country can long exist as a democracy just isn't thinking at all. Regarding your statement that the U.S. has moved to a Democracy from a Republic, the only move the U.S. made toward a more democratic form was in 1913, when the election of Senators was standardized nationwide. Several states had already established their own laws that their Senators be elected prior to that, however.
Originally, Senators were selected by state legislatures.
That's a pretty small shift, but it is toward more democracy and away from a republic.

Thank you for your perception. It is interesting to say the least.
Washington DC is not part of the USA. District of Columbia is located on 10sq miles of land. DC has its own flag and own independent constitution. This constitution operates under a tyrannical Roman law known as Lex Fori. DC constitution has nothing to do with the American Constitution. The Act of 1871 passed by Congress created a separate corporation known as THE UNITED STATES & corporate government for the District of Columbia. Thus DC acts as a Corporation through the Act. The flag of Washington’s District of Columbia has 3 red stars (the 3 stars denoting DC, Vatican City and City of London).
This IS NOT THE SAME THING as "any other city in America." Though I appreciate your perspective, it is incorrect nonetheless.
A look at the various Treaties raises the question of whether US remains a British Crown colony. The basis of this goes back to the first Charter of Virginia in 1606 that granted Britain the right to colonize America and gave the British King/Queen to hold sovereign authority over colonized America and its citizens. Colonized America was created after stealing America from the Native Indians. If America was colonized with British subjects these people are subjects of the British Government.
To negate this was the Treaty of 1783 declaring independence from Great Britain. However, this Treaty identifies the King/Queen of England as the Prince of the United States. (please refer
www.treatyofparis.com) Nevertheless, according to the Bouviers Law dictionary in ‘monarchicial governments’ a subject owes permanent allegiance to the monarch in which case the British subjects in colonized America owed permanent allegiance to the monarch.
The reverse is applicable under Constitutional law where allegiance is owed to the sovereign and to the laws of a sovereign government and natives are both subjects and citizens.
The issue is if a war was fought in 1781 and America became victor why would Britain need to sign a Treaty in 1783? When US has won a war, America should not require the British monarch to cede land and refer to himself as Prince of the Holy Roman Empire and of the United States? There is also the issue of the use of the term ‘Esquire’ given that it is a title of nobility again showing allegiance to the Queen/King and when Benjamin Franklin, John Jay Esquire and John Adams signing on behalf of the US use the name ‘Esquire’ it is raising the question of how valid the 1783 Treaty is. John Jay went on to sign the 1794 Treaty between England and US raising again why 13 years after the Paris Treaty the US needs to sign a Treaty with England if US was really ‘independent’.
What needs to be further investigated is why US still continues to pay tax to the City if it is a free nation?
The 1794 Treaty signed between England and the US was negotiated by John Jay Esquire who negotiated the 1783 Treaty. The question is why would US need to sign Treaty’s with England 13 years after the Paris Treaty of 1783 declaring US independent? Why would Article 6 and Article 12 continue to dictate terms to an ‘independent’ America?
Further reading of US history would reveal what happened to America when it cancelled the Charter of the First National Bank in 1811 and immediately afterwards 4500 British troops arrived and burnt down the White House, both Houses of Congress, the War Office, the US State Department and Treasury and destroyed the ratification records (signed by 12 US states) of the US Constitution wherein the 13thAmendment was to stop anyone receiving a Title of nobility or honor from serving the US Government. The 1812 war lasted 3 years and the Bank Charter was re-established in 1816 after the ratification of the Treaty of Ghent in 1815. Note: 13th amendment which was ratified in 1810 no longer appears in current copies of the U.S. constitution.
In 1913 the Federal Reserve was passed by US Congress handing over America’s gold and silver reserves and total control of America’s economy to the Rothschild banksters. The Federal Reserve is a privately owned banking system that does not belong to America or Americans.
It is no better a time to question whether US is a country or a corporation and the US President and officials at the Congress are working for that Corporation and not for the American people. It appears that the US Corporation is owned by the same country that owns Canada, Australia and New Zealand whose leaders are all serving the Queen in her Crown Land and US too has been and remains a crown colony that belong to the Empire of the 3 City States – City of London, Vatican City and Washington DC. The
US president is nothing more than a figurehead for the central bankers and the transnational corporations - both of which are controlled by High Ecclesiastic Freemasonry from the City of London the home of the global financial system.
As for the "small shift of power" you are way off on your date. The orignal Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson included a list of grievences against the King and it was THIS Declaration that was ratified in 1776. The Declaration of Independence you are most familiar with was written in 1787 and the original was scrapped. This is where the shift in power occured NOT in the 1900's. It is this Declaration which established the Central Government, it was NOT written for the people. Twelve amendments were proposed in an effort to curtail the massive power grab and eventually 10 were ratified and became the Bill of Rights. This is your "Constitution."
The fact of the matter is this; the United States of America was never intended to be a free Republic. It was settled by the British for commerce and nothing more. The entire system is a complicated system of systems for the sole purpose of commerce. I have no misunderstandings at all but again, I thank you for your perceptions.
