Flag of the Commonwealth of California

This is the flag of The Commonwealth of California. It comes from a world where the Constitution was never ratified, and the Articles of Confederation remained the primary governing document for the United States. Unfortunately, this meant that the federal government remained weak and ineffectual. The states soon began to question why they needed to take orders from Washington, and regionalist movements began to spring up. By the early 19th century the United States had completely collapsed. Each state became its own nation, with smaller states joining bigger ones either willingly or by force. Though the United States had failed as a nation, the idea of the United States inspired other colonies to rebel against their mother nations and seek independence.

The ideal of Manifest Destiny never really became a thing, but there was a general westward movement among the peoples of North America. However, how they got westward was considerably different than in our world. That brings us to California. It was primarily settled by British colonist from the Oregon Territory. This had multiple effects on California's development. For example, California is governed by a parliament, led by a prime minister, and the Queen's Birthday is a national holiday. California is also a proud member of the Commonwealth of Nations. Just as in our world, California has a significant Mexican minority, and most Californians are bilingual.

California is one of the most prosperous nations in North America. It has a booming tech sector, and it's farms help feed people across North America. In the past, California had a history in intervening in wars, but it has backed off from that in more recent times. The big focus now is space exploration. California has launched multiple missions to the Moon and now there's talk of a possible Mars mission.

California's British heritage is very much reflected on its flag with the blue background and St. George's canton. The seal hearkens back to the early days of British settlement, all under the watchful eye of Britannia herself. The tree in the canton is a California Redwood.

Reading the articles of confederation for my con law class and wanted to let you know that paupers, vagabonds, and fugitives from justice are NOT entitled to privileges and immunities of free citizens! Thats such a funny list of exceptions to me,, I want to know the legal definition of a vagabond, we may as well add rascals, menaces, and scallywags to the list at this point. Also paupers? They said no <3 to poor people, what’s new I guess, anyway reblog if you are a pauper, vagabond, and/or fugitive of justice 🫡

you know how people try to claim confederate stuff should be left alone and/or celebrated for "heritage"(for the person in my life who tries to play that card: you're seemingly descended from northerners, your heritage is more likely to be shooting at and being shot at by people flying that flag) and of course how plenty of people point out that stuff like Phineas and Ferb lasted longer so are bigger parts of our heritage? well out of curiosity I looked up how long the Articles of Confederation lasted. 8 years and a bit. the civil war lasted a few days shy of 4. for perspective, the Articles of Confederation was the basis of the US government before it quickly failed and was replaced with the Constitution. lets make it clear, the document famous for rapidly failing and needing to be replaced almost immediately and is otherwise a footnote, lasted over twice as long as the civil war.

There were a lot of unfortunate compromises and changes that probably should have been made during the Constitutional Convention, but I think our biggest mistake was not keeping the Articles Of Confederation's standing invitation to Canada to join us. Not like I think that would've had enough affect on the timeline to make Canada accept the invitation I just think it'd be really funny if part of our highest governing document was dedicated to "hey canada just so you know you can join us anytime you want :)"

Apparently, in the Articles of Confederation, the document that governed the US before the constitution, there was an entire article of the 13 articles that stated Canada could just join as a full member whenever they wanted.

“Canada, acceding to this confederation, and joining in the measures of the United States, shall be admitted into, and entitled to all the advantages of this union: but no other colony shall be admitted into the same, unless such admission be agreed to by nine states.”

-Article XI, Articles of Confederation

States of the United States vs. the Federal Government

States of the United States vs. the Federal Government: http://wp.me/prazu-12S

From before the adoption of the US Constitution in 1787, there has been strenuous argument, sometimes bordering on the violent, between those who wanted a strong central government and those who saw the individual states as the primary locus of governmental power—except for those 18 specific powers granted to the two houses of the federal government, as enumerated in the Constitution. (Former…

The Uses of History, 10 – USA Meltdown, 1

History is a dance with the past, with a phantom or ghost – sometimes well-defined, sometimes mere outline, always mysterious. VJM, 2022 The infant United States of America emerged from its successful Revolution in 1783 far from unified. The Treaty of Paris brought peace with Great Britain and an enormous addition of territory between the Appalachians and the Mississippi River. But it did not…
