They can not grasp, let alone comprehend that the sovereignty of the nation resides in states through the citizen of those states.

They can not grasp, let alone comprehend that when the Declaration of Independence declared that ALL political bonds were dissolved, that meant the form aka feudal doctrine of perpetual allegiance & jus soli subjectship was also dissolved. If it hadn't been, the founders wouldn't have had the authority of the common law & the law of nations to break from England & the United States would not have been recognized as a Federal Union of Sovereign Political States by the rest of world and the French would not have had the authority of law to come to the aid of the US.

Allegiance through “jus soli” to the crown, yes. But not necessarily the concept of “jus soli,” any more than we lost the concepts of trial by jury, habeas corpus, petitioning the government for grievance, peaceable assembly, due process, and countless others.

“and the French would not have had the authority of law to come to the aid of the US.”

Do you think the French gave a fig if their actions were legal? Or, at least, any more legal than other wars they fought from time to time (which, I’m sure, at some point involved interfering in another nation’s sovereignty)? They were out to hurt Britain, little more.

“the United States would not have been recognized as a Federal Union of Sovereign Political States by the rest of world”

The USSR was eventually internationally recognized even though a lot of people basically still considered them a murderously criminal empire (maybe not FDR, who loved his Uncle Joe, but others). It’s realpolitik.
