I understand that the act abolished the cities of Washington and Georgetown and made a consolidated government for the entire District of Columbia, but how exactly does this affect the rest of the United States, let alone turn it into a business corporation?

You're one of the few I trust when you say "sorry no source, trust me". Thanks for a broad overview. o7
Thanks. Very kind of you. I read and remember a lot, but I'm bad at keeping my sources. I admire the anons that post with sauce.
For those who want to dig, start with the Organic Act of 1871.
I am very much the same as you like this.
Me too, except for the remembering part.
Kek. Yeah, that happens too.
And the gas lighting that happens.
Same here
People who read a lot of history probably don't recall much of where they read specific items. Or if they do, trying to find 1 paragraph in 1000 pages isn't easy to do.
This is a research board. On important issues like this, you shouldn't even post if you haven't any sources. Human memory is frail, and fanciful to what you would LIKE to believe.
Do yourself a favor. Make this the first post to which you add sources.
Get out your shovel and start digging, anon.
I've done posts that were well-sourced. It seemed that the OP was asking for an explanation of the basic idea not a proof. I think there's room on the board for theory and summary, especially when stated as such.
But if you have proof this concept is wrong, don't hesitate to bash it. Tons of good proofs are uncovered by back-and-forth. Other anons have already chipped in a few data points.
It's just that I've made unsourced posts myself that turned out to be hilariously wrong. The entirety of the posting may be veritable, and it's possible other brains are not as prone to this sort of folly as I am.
There's a lot of junk out there for the casual googler, and it's all messy and can take a few years off the eyeballs. I made an effort to find some decent ones. https://greatawakening.win/p/16c2425ucg/the-whole-1871-thing-with-decent/
"The only absolute and unqualified right of a United States citizen is to residence within the territorial boundaries of the United States." Supreme Court: US vs. Valentine 288 F. Supp. 957
"The privileges and immunities clause of the 14th Amendment protects very few rights because it neither incorporates the Bill of Rights, nor protects all rights of individual citizens. Instead this provision protects only those rights peculiar to being a citizen of the federal government; it does not protect those rights which relate to state citizenship." Supreme Court: Jones v. Temmer, 89 F. Supp 1226
"..the first eight amendments have uniformly been held not to be protected from state action by the privileges and immunities clause [of the 14th Amendment!." Hague v. CIO, 307 US 496, 520
US Citizenship is Slavery
WE NEED TO OPT OUT!
