A1 S8 C17 The Seat of Government
“The Congress shall have Power To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards and other needful Buildings…” ~ A1 S8 C17
Washington DC was selected during President Washington’s administration as the nation’s capital.
James Madison asked “How could the general government be guarded from the undue influence of particular states, or from insults, without such exclusive power?”(1)
Skousen explained, “Congress has abdicated its responsibility under the Constitution to keep the site of the nation‘s capital secure and under the administrative control of the people’s representatives. The original intent was to have the city belong to the nation, not the residence of the District of Columbia.”
“… The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 declared that all new states would come into the Union on a basis of complete equality or equal footing with the original thirteen states. Therefore it was assumed that as soon as a new territory was granted statehood, the people of that state would acquire title to every acre of land, other than a very small percentage granted to the federal government for the ‘erection of forts, magazines, arsenals, dockyards, and other needful buildings…’
“However, when the territory of the western states was acquired from Mexico, Congress radically digressed from the Constitution by virtually eliminating the sale or disposal of federal lands. The general policy was to permanently retain major portions of each of the western states for purposes not listed in the Constitution.”
Father, would you restore these lands to We the People? Would you help us be the land owners once again! In Jesus name, we pray, amen!
