The first constitutions

[shikamaru]

Interesting discussion. How does government's incorporating and using the UCC play into this? The Feds did so in 1871, the States much later 1960's...?

The Uniform Commercial Code did not exist prior to the 1950s.
The UCC are simply suggestions from private organizations to harmonize state commerce rules.
These suggestions become law only upon adaption by a legislature.

According to records off the net, several municipal corporations were abolished and formed into the municipal corporation known as the District of Columbia....

In my opinion, time would be better spent studying incorporation and franchises rather then the UCC.
