Every American State Is a Fully Sovereign Nation
The United States government claims that the United States of America, is a single sovereign nation; while likewise claiming that it was always a national union, from 1776 onward.
But this was indeed never true; as every state was always a separate sovereign nation unto itself.
In reality, the American Revolution established the states as thirteen sovereign nations, by law, as originally declared in 1776:
And thereafter, every state was officially established as a separate sovereign nation under the 1783 Treaty of Paris:
…and the treaty was with the individual states as thirteen separate sovereign nations (i.e. “free, sovereign and independent states); it was not with the United States as a single nation.
Rather, in 1783, the United States was simply an international confederation of separate sovereign natio ns, as formed in 1781:
And this confederation simply served as an international proxy for the thirteen fully-sovereign states; in dealing with foreign states, persuant to these “powers, jurisdictions and rights” that the states simply delegated to this confederation.
Meanwhile in 1787, the Constitution did not change any state’s national sovereignty– and the United States government does not claim such (which would be indeed strange, by effectively claiming that thirteen sovereign nations, each willingly gave up its national sovereignty, in order to lawfully subject itself to the utter mercy of the other twelve in forming domestic policy against it– including Total War).
Rather, beginning in 1832; the United States government began to simply re-write history; with Andrew Jackson being the first sitting president to officially claim that the states had never thirteen separate sovereign nations.
Instead, Jackson claimed that the individual thirteen states had always formed a national union, from 1776 onward– and that they were legally dependent states to it, not independent:
Here, by his phrase “a joint, not by several acts,” Jackson refers to the Declaration of Independence, as an “act” which allegedly formed a single sovereign nation. Meanwhile by “the terms of our confederation”, Jackson likewise refers to the Articles of Confederation (in which each state expressly retained its sovereignty, freedom and independence; but which Jackson still claims that they never had).
And the Congress concurred with Jackson in 1833, by passing his “Force Bill,” which set federal prec
