Amaqiniso nge-Statehood ka-DC
Isifunda saseColumbia akusona isifunda, yisifunda sendawo. Lapho uMthethosisekelo we-United States wamukelwa ngo-1787, yini manje iSifunda saseColombia esiyingxenye yedolobha laseMaldinburg. Ngo-1791, iSifunda sathunyelwa kuhulumeni wesifundazwe ngenhloso yokuba yinhloko-dolobha yesizwe, isifunda esasizolawulwa yiCongress.
I-DC ihluke kanjani kunombuso?
Ukuchitshiyelwa kwe-10 komthethosisekelo wase-US ucacisa ukuthi wonke amandla anganikezwa uhulumeni wesifundazwe agcinwe amazwe kanye nabantu.
Nakuba iSifunda saseColumbia sinehulumeni wayo kamasipala, sithola imali evela kuhulumeni wesifundazwe futhi sincike emithethweni evela kwiCongress ukuze ivume imithetho yayo kanye nesabelomali. I-DC izakhamuzi zinegunya lokuvotela uMongameli kusukela ngo-1964 kanye noMeya namalungu omkhandlu wedolobha kusukela ngo-1973. Ngokungafani namazwe angaqoka abahluleli bawo, uMengameli ukhethe abahluleli eNkantolo yesiFunda.

Izakhamuzi (cishe abantu abangu-600 000) weSifunda saseColumbia zikhokha intela egcwele yombuso kanye nendawo kodwa azikho ukumelelwa ngokugcwele kwentando yeningi eSenate yase-US noma iNdlu yaseMelika yaseMelika. Ukumelelwa kweCongress kunomkhawulo kumthumeli ongewona ovoti eNtabeni Yabamele kanye neSenenja yethunzi. Eminyakeni yamuva, izakhamuzi zesifunda sezifuna iStehood ukuthola amalungelo okuvota aphelele.
Akukaphumelelanga. Funda kabanzi mayelana namalungelo e-DC wokuvotela
Umlando wokwakhiwa kwesiFunda saseColombia
Phakathi kuka-1776 no-1800, iCongress yahlangana ezindaweni eziningana. UMthethosisekelo awuzange ukhethe isayithi ethize indawo yokuhlala unomphela kahulumeni wesifundazwe.
Ukusungula isifunda sikahulumeni kwakuyinkinga engqubuzana eyahlukanisa abaseMelika iminyaka eminingi. Ngomhla ka-16 Julayi 1790, iCongress yadlulisa uMthetho Wokuhlala, umthetho owavumela uMengameli uGeorge Washington ukuba akhethe indawo yenhloko-dolobha yesizwe futhi akhethe abaphathi abathathu ukuba babheke ukuthuthukiswa kwayo. IWashington ikhethe indawo engamakhilomitha ayishumi ukusuka emasimini aseMaldinnia naseVirginia eyayisezinhlangothini zombili eMfuleni wasePotomac. Ngo-1791, uWashington wamisa uThomas Johnson, uDaniel Carroll, noDavid Stuart ukuba baqondise ukuhlela, ukuklama nokuthola impahla endaweni yesifundazwe. Amakhomishana athi igama elithi "Washington" lizohlonipha uMongameli.
Ngo-1791, uMongameli wakhetha uCharles Charles L'Enfant, umdwebi waseMelika ozelwe ngesiFulentshi kanye nomenzi wezobunjiniyela, ukuhlela uhlelo lomuzi omusha. Umdwebo womuzi, igridi eligxile e- United States Capitol , wabekwa phezulu kwentaba ehlanganiswe uMfula iPotomac, i -Eastern Branch (manje ebizwa ngokuthi uMfula i-Anacostia ) ne- Rock Creek. Imigwaqo ehamba phambili egijima enyakatho-eningizimu nasempumalanga-entshonalanga yakha igridi. Izinyathelo ezinkulu "ezihlangene" ezibizwa ngokuthi izifunda zombunyano zawela igridi. Lapho lezi "zindlela ezinkulu" zawela khona, izikhala ezivulekile emibuthanweni nasemapulazini zaqanjwa ngamagama ahloniphekile aseMelika.
Isihlalo sikahulumeni sathuthela edolobheni elisha ngo-1800. Isifunda saseColumbia nezindawo zasemaphandleni ezingasetshenziswanga zezifunda zilawulwa yiBhodi yamaKhomishana angamalungu amathathu. Ngo-1802, iCongress yaqeda iBhodi yabaKhomishana, yahlanganisa iWashington City, futhi yakha umbuso olinganiselwe nomengameli okhethwe nguMongameli kanye nomkhandlu wamadolobha ayishumi nambili okhethiwe. Ngo-1878, iCongress yadlulisela uMthetho we-Organic okwenzela abaKhomishana abathathu abaqokwe nguMongameli, ukukhokha ingxenye yesabelomali sesigodi saminyaka yonke ngokugunyazwa kwe-Congressional kanye nanoma iyiphi inkontileka engaphezu kwe-$ 1,000 emisebenzini yomphakathi. I-Congress yadlulisa uMkhandlu Wase-Columbia Self-Government kanye noHulumeni Wokuhlelwa kabusha koMthetho ngo-1973 ngokusungula isimiso samanje sommeya okhethiwe kanye noMkhandlu onamalungu angu-13 anemithetho esemthethweni kanye nemingcele engavunyelwa yiCongress.
