If this amendment had passed, and I understand it correctly, it would make DC equal, for all intents and purposes, to a state, yet not technically a state, right? Would that mean we'd still have the 50-star flag, for example, and still, at least in legal contexts, refer to "the 50 states and the District of Columbia"? Nik42 04:49, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

I presume it would not have affected the flag or reference since it's quite specific on where the DC would be considered a state 203.109.240.93 15:57, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

If this amendment had been adopted it would have required D.C. be on the same level of a State regarding Congressional representation, Presidential elections, and Article V (amendment process). It would not have made D.C. a State. D.C. would still have been a ward of the Congress. --Repeal 16-17 (talk) 00:10, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Worldrights

The blurb about Worldrights, in addition to being exactly the same as blurbs on other pages about DC statehood/voting rights, is advertising. So I'm deleting it. Natalie 23:00, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ratification

Did any state legislatures vote on the proposed amendment and reject it? Did any consider and reject it in committee? Dynzmoar (talk) 13:10, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
