The United States Corporation Explained in 161 Words...

Rapidly after the American Civil War, as the states were rebuilding, a 2nd United States was founded. The District of Columbia became incorporated through the Legislative Act in 1871 under the Emergency war Powers Act and the Reconstruction Acts. The name of this corporation is "United States" which stands in distinction to the original United States Of America. One is a sovereign Republic under a constitution, the other is a corporation built around Democracy.

That is why some people say the United States government is capable of side stepping the constitution and doing things that it shouldn't be allowed to do. The "United States" follows a different constitution than the United States Of America. One has electors, the other has voters; one has a trial by jury, the other has a jury trial; one has lawyers, the other has attorneys; one uses lawful money, the other uses legal tender; one has sovereigns, the other has citizens. And on and on.
