I can understand why you identify with 5 year olds. I will answer a simple question you are unable to answer. Nobody is buried in Grant's tomb.
The Supreme Court on the status of the states before the Constitution:
As preliminary to the very able discussions of the constitution, which we have heard from the bar, and as having some influence on its construction, reference has been made to the political situation of these States, anterior to its formation. It has been said, that they were sovereign, were completely independent, and were connected with each other only by a league. This is true.

Opinion by Chief Justice John Marshall
By analogy, do you consider each of the Major League Baseball teams to be "completely independent" businesses? Of course not. They are connected by contracts, play by the same set of rules, share player drafts, are governed by a common commissioner, share televison revenues, etc. Certainly there is a degree of autonomy in running their individual programs, but the supreme entity is MLB, not the individual teams.
