Maps don’t just show land; they reveal power. We open the record and read the words that shaped North America: the 1783 Treaty of Paris, the 1803 Louisiana Purchase, and the 1819 Adams–Onís Treaty. Line by line, we track how Britain, France, and Spain ceded sovereignty to the United States—transfers that moved title over Indigenous homelands without returning authority to the people already there. This isn’t a history detour; it’s the backbone of modern jurisdiction and how governments justify claims today.

From international cessions, we step into the Constitution. Who signs treaties and who manages land? Article II empowers the President to make treaties with Senate consent, while Article IV, Section 3 vests Congress with authority over territories and the admission of new states. That distinction matters when we evaluate myths about a “corporate United States” or the 1871 Act. We ask the question courts ask: what is the constitutionality of the statute? If it can’t pass the test, it can’t create a parallel sovereign. The key word is vested—fixed and inherited powers that don’t migrate to entities created by ordinary legislation.

We also get practical. Boundary disputes turn on colonial charters, not state constitutions that never contained those lines. Our approach is to anchor every claim in a source document and build from first principles: read the treaties, trace custody of archives, map authority to the proper branch. Along the way, we share how we teach—courses and one‑on‑ones in grammar, semantics, and etymology—because precise language is a legal tool. Train how you speak and how you read, and your arguments sharpen, your research improves, and the noise fades.

If this helped clarify the map beneath the map, share the episode with a friend, subscribe for more foundational deep dives, and leave a review telling us which treaty or clause you want us to unpack next.
