The American government in Washington has been supporting a worldwide network of states for more than a hundred years. President Wilson outlined his vision of a unified world in 1919. His League of Nations was rejected by the US Senate but the US has nonetheless been continually using its power for world unity. Under US protection, some nation-states have achieved prosperity by specializing in certain industries and using the world as a marketplace. American businessmen have exported their capital and their industries all over the globe. The worldwide capitalistic organization of the world is an ongoing business. But globalization is destabilizing nation-states. The nation-state has lost its main function, the protection of its citizens from invasion. Now wars are being fought within nation-states, not between them. The world needs solidly established states with democratic governments free from corruption and civil war. The Federal Government guarantees each of our American states a democratic government and protects each from invasion. Article IV, Section 4 of the American Constitution reads, “The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government and shall protect each of them from invasion”. Instead of relying on the United States to provide worldwide peace, foreign states should apply to the American Congress for admission to the American union. They should transform the United States of America to the United States of the World and guarantee for themselves and for the world the secure political institutions necessary for worldwide economic and democratic development.
