The First Congress met for the first time on March 4, 1789, 221 years ago, today, in New York City. The First Congress is a creation of the Union of eleven States, which ratified the Constitution of September 17, 1787. Technically, the Union of the United States, began as a Union of the nine States, which had ratified “this Constitution,” the Constitution of September 17, 1787. Another technicality is that “this Union” can also be called the “Constitution of the United States,” because that Union is comprised of territory belonging to the United States of America. The Constitution of the United States is not the Constitution of September 17, 1787.
Another one of the definitions of the word “constitution” is the basic principles and laws of a nation/State that determine the power and duties of the government. Once created, a government can enact laws for citizens, who owe allegiance to the nation/State. When nine States ratified “this Constitution,” the two kinds of constitutions described above came into being. A special government almost like the one described in Article I of “this Constitution” took the place of the one required to take the binding Article VI oath “to support this Constitution”
Persons eligible to be Representatives under the Constitution of September 17, 1787 must be Citizens of the United States, which can only mean the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777, survive the ratification of “this Constitution,” the Constitution of September 17, 1787. The continuation of the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 is confirmed by the requirement that the Representatives be Inhabitants of the States from which they are chosen.
Senators selected by the eleven State legislatures, who met with the elected Representatives of the First Congress on March 4, 1789, do not meet the eligibility for Office set by Article I Section 3 Clause 3:
No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen.
Because the first Senators of the First Congress had to be Citizens of the United States for nine years, no person would qualify until March 1, 1781, the date, Maryland, the thirteenth State ratified the Articles of Confederation creating the United States of America. Members of the First Congress do not, because of the ineligibility of the first Senators, take the Article VI oath “to support this Constitution.” The first act of the First Congress is to create a statutory oath of office for a Union of eleven States consisting of any territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America.
Two hundred and twenty one years ago the First Congress acted as if it had the power to tax in all America and to make laws for every individual American. The truth is Congress is limited to the territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America. To learn how to prove the Congress of the United States is limited to federal territory, you must enroll in the only course that can teach you how the Founding Fathers fooled everyone for one and eleven score years.
