When subjects of the what the founder’s “wishes” may have been I usually respond with that they have been dead for quite a long time and we are free to govern ourselves as we see fit.
There are some good arguments against DC statehood. I happen to not subscribe to them seeing as representation should be what is most important. And having said that, placing DC into Maryland would be a solution that I would be fine with…
But “What the Founders wanted” is imo a terrible place to argue from.
Your answer is terrible. You passed judgement on the founders rather than answer either question. Thanks for contributing nothing to the conversation. Your reply is void of anything useful.
Again. You offer zero? Why are you commenting on something that you have no interest in answering? My questions do have answers. And your dodges are getting more lame with each reply.
How many states were there at the time of the writing of the USA constitution? If there were fewer states than what there is currently, that answers the second question.
You are stuck in a loop repeating yourself. What is the original reason for not making D.C. a state no longer valid? You keep babbling that it isn’t. You just refuse to babble as to why.
Explain how the number of states makes a difference? And what number is too high to let DC remain as is? I need a little more of a bold explanation. Yours is quite vague.
