Why is our Republic a nation of Free and Independent States united in America called: "... the united States of America"? Is that a typo error?

No it is not a typo ~ that is the original English wording as written on the Organic Documents:

"We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor." - Declaration of Independence

POST: CONSTITUTIONAL CITIZENS (contd)

If common sense ruled, it would govern unwritten law not written law. Everyone should know by now neither the Congress nor the President of the United States are ruled by common sense.

The Organic Laws of the United States of America, which is precedent law for all the laws of the United States of America, appears in volume one of the United States Code published every six years by the Government Printing Office for the United States House of Representatives

Written law is bound to the Organic Laws of the United States of America.  The Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776, Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 and Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 are legal written precedent for the Constitution of September 17, 1787, which limits the federal law to federal territory.

The United States Code is the official source of all current and valid written law for all the territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America.

The Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 has been law since March 1, 1781.  Repealed law does not appear in the United States Code published by the United States Government Printing Office.

POST: CONSTITUTIONAL CITIZENS

CITIZENS OF THE CONSTITUTION OF SEPTEMBER 17, 1787: CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES

The first citizens mentioned in the Constitution of September 17, 1787 are the members of Congress.  That Constitution requires Representatives in Article I Section 2 Clause 2 and Senators in Article I Section 3 Clause 3 to be Citizens of the United States. A Representative must be a Citizen of the United States for 7 years and a Senator must be a Citizen of the United States for 9 years.

The Constitution of September 17, 1787, also, requires a Representative to "be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen," which precludes any requirement that a Representative, also, be a citizen of that State in which he shall be chosen. A Senator must, also, "when elected be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen."

What is a Citizen of the United States?  As any State citizen must owe exclusive allegiance to a State, members of Congress must owe allegiance to the Confederacy above anyone of thirteen original States.  A Representative or Senator must declare himself and be only a Citizen of the United States of America.  Such a declaration is never made by any member of Congress, because the Constitution of September 17, 1787 is never adopted by a legitimate Congress and first President, who must reside within the United States for 14 Years, which would be July 4, 1790.

The Confederacy known as the United States of America was established on March 1, 1781, when Maryland became the thirteenth and last State of the original thirteen to ratify the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777, and is, thereafter recognized by other nation States of the world.  Nine years from March 1, 1781 the first Senators would be able to meet the qualifications for Senators set out in Article I Section 3 Clause 3.

The Constitution of September 17, 1787 was established between the first nine States ratifying that Constitution, which occurred on June 21, 1788.  No Representative or Senator could satisfy the citizenship requirements set out in Article I of the Constitution of September 17, 1787.

A "Citizen of the United States," which both a Representative and a Senator must be, can only owe allegiance to the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777, as the Constitution of September 17, 1787 can only be adopted by Senators taking a written oath after March 1, 1790.  The person who is to fill the Article II Section 1 Clause 5 Office of President can only do so 14 Years after July 4, 1776, which would be July 4, 1790.

Although the Constitution of September 17, 1787 clearly requires Representatives and Senators to be Citizens of the United States, which would mean owing allegiance to the Confederacy and the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777.  No member of Congress and no President is ever held to that requirement.  The failure of Congress and the President to meet and qualify pursuant to the Constitution of September 17, 1787 prevents the adoption of that Constitution.

The united States of America are a Republic, not a democracy.

The didactic method concerning facts of history, social changes, economic development, and basic principles of our Government will be used without discussion and without argument, special emphasis being given to the fact that the united States is a Republic, not a democracy.

Comparative analysis. — The following comparative analysis shows the principal characteristics of the three forms of government:

Autocracy: 

Authority is derived through heredity.

People have no choice in the selection of their rulers and no voice in making of the laws.

Results in arbitrariness, tyranny, and oppression.

Attitude toward property is feudalistic.

Attitude toward law is that the will of the ruler shall control, regardless of reason or consequences.


Democracy: A government of the masses.

Authority derived through mass meeting or any other form of "direct" expression.

Results in mobocracy.

Attitude toward property is communistic — negating property rights.

Attitude toward law is that the will of the majority shall regulate, whether it be based upon deliberation or governed by passion, prejudice, and impulse, without restraint or regard to consequences.

Results in demagogism, license, agitation, discontent, anarchy, and CONgress.


Republic:

Authority is derived through the election by the people of public officials best fitted to represent them.

Attitude toward property is respect for laws and individual rights, and a sensible economic procedure.

Attitude toward law is the administration of justice in accord with fixed principles and established evidence, with a strict regard to consequences.

A greater number of citizens and extent of territory may be brought within its compass.

Avoids the dangerous extreme of either tyranny or mobocracy.

Results in statesmanship, liberty, reason, justice, contentment, and PROgress.

Is the "standard form" of government throughout the world.

A republic is a form of government under a constitution which provides for the election of (1) an executive and (2) a legislative body, who working together in a representative capacity, have all the power of appointment, all power of legislation, all power to raise revenue and appropriate expenditures, and are required to create (3) a judiciary to pass upon the justice and legality of their governmental acts and to recognize (4) certain inherent individual rights.

Take away any one or more of those four elements and you are drifting into autocracy. Add one or more to those four elements and you are drifting into democracy. — Atwood.

General purpose. — This American Republic for Dummies blog is designed to teach the fundamental principles upon which our Government is founded, including an insight into the social and economic elements upon which our civilization stands. Special emphasis is laid upon the meaning of "liberty," as interpreted by the founders of this Republic, and the larger relationship of the individual citizen to others and to his Government, defining loyalty and national responsibility in terms of citizenship, recognizing that an intelligent and informed people is a greater asset than are the unintelligent, uninformed, or misinformed, and that no government can exist upon a plane higher than the moral character of its people.
