That’s true and if a federal district would remain I would think Maryland would have cause to demand the land back, though it probably wouldn’t.
As for an amendment, I’m not sure about that. Don’t think the constitution really addresses the possibility does it.
No it doesn’t
Which in my original intent, minimalist government, and defined powers mind suggest that it does require an amendment.
Neah.
The Constitution has been a dead letter since 1861, or maybe since Marshall gutted the 10th Amendment in Marbury vs. Madison.
The problem is that the Federal Government has become so overwhelmingly rich and powerful than its control is literally a matter of life and death.
A properly restrained Federal Government would be of no interest to most folks. Their state governments would be of far more interest.
