The Residence Act happened in 1790, but the District wasn't officially established until 1801. The first point was that the Constitution didn't establish or create, but it authorized Congress to establish and create. Yes, they did do that. But in 1871 they basically undid what had previously been done. Up until 1871, the Union, the Republic, The United States of America, had a functioning seat of federal government. But in 1871 that changed. DC ceased to exist in its original form, and for its original purpose, as a result of An Act to provide a Government for the District of Columbia (1871)
You're welcome fren! Good to finally put all of this education in history and gov to good use... Undergrad was good, but grad school was an even better awakening for me
and it was immediately done
i still don’t get what your point is
that d.c. did not exist until later?
