    Government of the United States is a (public) corporation [Respublica v. Sweers (1779)].
    Its charter is the U.S. Constitution. This charter is an international treaty between independent nations which you know as the several States.
    The charter may go back to an earlier charter for the United Colonies and/or to the Artticles of Association of 1774 and/or to a charter done at the Palace at Windsor. There may have also been another come 1871. The Constitution for the United States of America formed a confederacy specifically named "The United States of America".

    You could tell it was/is a private charter. Vast majorities of people were not covered i.e. African-Americans, Native Americans, Asians, landless people, etc.

    What contract exists that isn't private unless you are a party to it? Re: "African-American" or "Asians" or "Native Americans" these are 'terms of art'. The verbiage 'negroes (slaves) of the African race" was used in the Dredd Scott case ..and lets you know that there were negroes who weren't of the 'African races'. If one digs a bit further, one might find that there isn't really such a thing as any "African race" or "European race". Slaves and foreign subjects were prohibited from political participation because they were not viewed as being able to enter into 'the forum' on equal footing with those who were freeborn or highborn. It is clear that Africa (as opposed to say Scotland or England) is a continent rather than a political organization. They knew this.

    Also there are a few ample sources that tend to point to the original meaning of 'white person' meaning someone Christian (shining/spiritually clean). This was alleged to have been obscured after the alleged Romanization of the United States after the Civil War.


    "The People of the United States" (mere title) is an association. No charters or grants are needed to form an association.
    The association is the principal. Government is the agent.

    Perhaps nations (groups of people) form states and nations themselves are in turn comprised of people. AFAIK there was no single 'genetic nation' involved in establishing the United States. It was purely political and quite diverse: brown-skinned to fair skinned bodied.

    .... .
    Also, perhaps the term 'public' is meaningless without a context. It means 'common' or 'shared' within a framework, no?
