it was styled "The United States of America".

the States were becoming dis[united] States so the United States came in and took the liability of the debt and the States, while keeping their Domestic Sovereignty came under the Independence of the United States. Therefore the United States is Sovereign over the States and the States in this structure are Dependents.

One thing that is very interesting is all of those COMMITTEES.

"The United States in Congress assembled shall have authority to appoint a committee, to sit in the recess of Congress, to be denominated 'A Committee of the States', and to consist of one delegate from each State; and to appoint such other committees and civil officers as may be necessary for managing the general affairs of the United States under their direction..."


"Article X. The committee of the States, or any nine of them, shall be authorized to execute, in the recess of congress, such of the powers of congress as the united States in congress assembled, by the consent of the nine States, shall from time to time think expedient to vest them with; provided that no power be delegated to the said Committee, for the exercise of which, by the articles of confederation, the voice of nine States in the Congress of the United States assembled be requisite."
