On June 21, 1788, New Hampshire became the ninth State to ratify “this Constitution,” the Constitution of September 17, 1787, which was the one presented to the United States in Congress assembled, the Confederation Congress, for submission to the thirteen States for ratification. Article VII of “this Constitution” provided: “The Ratification of the Conventions of nine States, shall be sufficient for the Establishment of this Constitution between the States so ratifying the Same.”

Ratification of “this Constitution” by nine State would also be sufficient to activate the provisions of Article IX and X of the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777. These provisions would permit the new Congress consisting of the Senate (the Committee of States under the Articles of Confederation) and House of Representatives to continue the lawmaking and taxation initiated in the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787.

The settlers and inhabitants of the Northwest Territory, the future States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and part of Minnesota were promised Statehood in the original Confederacy, when those States attained a minimum population and met other criteria set out in the Northwest Ordinance. The Northwest Ordinance, the promises made to the settlers and inhabitants there and ratification of “this Constitution” created a new Union of United States, which would be federated rather than Confederate States, as in the first Union.

George Washington, elected to the Office of President of the United States of America on April 6, 1789, turned settlement of the rest of America into a commercial endeavor by taking the oral employment oath of the Office of President of the United States. As executive head of the Confederacy, the United States of America, and as President of the United States, Washington could administer all territories and possessions of the United States of America using the Confederacy’s military and proprietary power.

By combining the two Offices, President of the United States of America and President of the United States, Washington was able to make it appear that laws enacted by a Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America for application to the federated United States were applicable to all the States of the Confederacy, the United States of America.

Washington was able to avoid possible charges of treason by completely avoiding the Article VI subscribed oath of the Constitution of September 17, 1787 and any appearance of occupying an Office under the authority of the Constitution of September 17, 1787,by refusing any compensation under Article II Section 1 Clause 7.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act like all federal laws is by its terms limited to citizens and permanent residents of the United States within the United States, the second Union, and is, therefore, entirely compliant with the Constitution of the United States. The Office of Chief Justice and Offices of Associate Justices were created by federal legislation enacted prior to the Judiciary Act of 1789 which created the Supreme Court of the United States around those Offices. The legislatively created United States Supreme Court will not buck its creator on a major piece of legislation.

George Washington’s parliamentary maneuvers far exceed anything he did on the field of battle. My Basic Course in Law and Government contain those exploits which have been discovered so far. The Basic Course will teach where in the Constitution Washington planted loopholes that to this day allows “government” to get away with grand theft.
