The United States (U.S.) is the federal corporation the District of Columbia, also known as USDC or the UNITED STATES, created by the Congressional Act of 1871. Further, one can read 28 USC 3002 (15) “United States” means - (A) a Federal corporation.” So, a U.S. citizen is a citizen of this federal corporation, and not a member of a union State or Republic. With these two legal acts understood, it’s easy to see that a U.S. citizen is a legal fiction / U.S. corporation and has no rights secured by the Constitution. Only people have rights. A U.S. citizen is legallly chattel to their owners (creditors).
