The United States of America (and its Constitution, remember that?) did not officially exist until 1893.

I think you got some numbers transposed. I assume you meant 1783 when the Treaty of Paris was signed? Actually the country began existence July 4, 1776. That is even the date from whence early court cases counted citizenship as having began.

So yeah, I remember. You know, words do have meaning.
