Sovereignty Without Full Sovereignty

   We propose that the Federal Government become both de facto and de jure an international government by admitting to our union any nation in the world that wishes to be an American state. But the Washington government does not need to transform itself to become such a government because it was established in 1787 with the character, powers and duties of an international government. The Constitution does not give it a location in any state nor full sovereignty to rule Americans. The 13 original states did not give up their sovereignty. Instead they transferred some of their sovereign powers to a central government that was not a state. Nations in the world should today ask themselves if they need the powers that the original 13 American states gave up. Does a state anywhere in the world need the power to make war if as an American state its borders would be guarded by the American military? Does a state need the expense of representing itself worldwide diplomatically if it would be represented by the American Department of State? The 13 original states gave Washington full sovereignty over war and diplomacy because it strengthened them and they gave up no other sovereign powers absolutely. Washington gained the power to regulate commerce among the states which freed all commerce among them and benefited them all. Would a state today accept to join our union and enjoy free trade including the free movement of its citizens to at least 50 other states of a worldwide union? It would not lose anything economically and gain a new world of opportunities for its people. The 13 original states prospered from their new revolutionary political and economic union. 37 new states joined the union and it flourished offering freedom and economic opportunities to millions of immigrants from all over the world. Why would any state anywhere not be willing to join such a successful revolution? What real freedom do their citizens gain by letting some leader rule  with full sovereign power over them and their national wealth? The 13 original American states gave Washington’s Supreme Court the power to review all laws passed by all the many governments of the union and declare them illegal if they were judged in violation of universal human rights guaranteed by the Constitution. Would citizens of any state in the world be against gaining the right to challenge in their state and federal courts laws passed in violation of their basic human rights? Washington was set up in 1787 not to rule states but to protect them from war and to strengthen a union of states designed to give free men governing their own state and their own affairs as much prosperity as possible. Washington had an international character and structure from its beginning and it needs now to get rid for the sake of the world of as many of its national duties as possible.
