Volume 20: Corpus Juris Sec. § 1785

The United States is a District of Columbia corporation. In Volume 20: Corpus Juris Sec. § 1785 we find "The United States government is a foreign corporation with respect to a State" (see: NY re: Merriam 36 N.E. 505 1441 S. 0.1973, 14 L. Ed. 287).

Fast Forward to the gold forfeitures of 1933, it’s found in this case that The United States Government is a Foreign Corporation with respect to a State. This further backs the intent of the original founding, that the states are foreign from the Federal Government, Sovereign, and Independent, including their citizens as mentioned in the previous case.
