The 50 several States
JURISDICTIONThe States, that is the 50 several States, such as the given three examples of Arizona, Missouri, and Maine, are separate nation-states. Each is composed of the Local and Municipal Authorities, each is a Republic, and each a Sovereign State of the Union. Each is sovereign to each other and in the same respect as to each other, sovereign to the General Authority, or the “Federal Zone.” The “Federal Zone” consists of the corporate United States, that is the Land Congress has EXCLUSIVE jurisdiction over, such as the District of Columbia (D.C.), Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, territories, and insular possessions.They are only limited in their separation from each other’s laws and sovereignty insofar as much as regulated and allowed by the Constitution.Aside from those few exceptions, for those few instances regarding INTER-State Commerce, No sovereign sphere has jurisdiction within another sovereign sphere. One of those exceptions is the Right to Contract, which enables the Federal Zone, i.e. the “United States” can contract with sovereign “States” of the Union, and usually these contracts involve monetary aid or compensation for programs implemented.All actions of commerce among and between the several States, that is, inter-state commerce, has to be regulated as provided for in the Constitution. The Federal Government’s authority upon the several States is limited only to those actions prescribed and allowed by law in the Constitution regarding Inter-state commerce.Acts of Congress, that is legislative law passed by the U.S. Congress, has no jurisdiction or effect in the several States of the Union, aside from the Interstate exception noted above.See
