My memory is hazy, but I read about this once because it’s a really weird situation. The founders wanted this area to be just be a simple neutral meeting place for politicians, so that the area itself wouldn’t be vulnerable to political fuckery. That time has long passed as not only did D.C. turn into a city, it’s a full-blown metropolis at this point. People live and work there but can’t vote in certain things for really no reason in this modern day.
Oh there was political fuckery before our masonic forefathers laid the cornerstones. The reason it’s on the border of Maryland and Virginia was to placate the southern states, otherwise the capitol would have stayed in New York.
It’s something like, more people live in Washington, D.C. than in Wyoming.
