Just so ya know….
The United States exists in two forms: The original united States that was in operation until 1860; a collection of sovereign Republics in the union. Under the original Constitution the States controlled the Federal Government; the Federal Government did not control the States and had limited authority.
The original united States of America has been usurped by a separate and different United States Corporation formed in 1871, which only controls the District of Columbia and it’s territories, and which is actually a corporation (the United States Corporation) that acts as our current government. The United States Corporation operates under Corporate/Commercial Law rather than Common/Private Law. In the original Constitution and Declaration of Independence, it refers to “these united States”. The word “united” was an adjective describing the noun States. That is why the lower case on united. When the United States Corporation was formed in 1871, the united was changed to United because the United States as a corporation was now a noun.
