the territory aspect is in another article... 4 I think. It was quoted earlier by another poster.
The original poster of that article claims it means territory in general. My contention is that it means areas possessed by the US but are not states. Otherwise, there’d be zero reason to list those things allowed specifically in Art 1, Sec 8, Item 17.
Thanks..
Your premise is strong. If we assume it be correct, then they way in which FedZilla created the state of Nevada is certainly unconstitutional - there should have been no strings attached, no continuing FedZilla authority within the state. And those that agreed with the creation should not have!
But they did.. and now, as you “It is not only our right, but our duty as citizens to force the fed gov, by whatever means necessary, to keep its damned self within the limits set by The Constitution.” Which I always agree with!
