	Congressional Districts of the United States

	U.S. Copyright Office: State Sovereign Immunity
		In the United States, state sovereign immunity is articulated by the Eleventh Amendment to the Constitution.
		Congress does not enforce a constitutional right by changing what the right is. It has been given the power "to enforce," not the power to determine what constitutes a constitutional violation.
		The reasoning behind this rule is that when a state official acts in violation of valid federal law, that official is by definition acting outside the scope of his official duties because a State clearly cannot lawfully authorize one of its employees to act in violation of valid federal law.

	Public Citizen \| Congress Watch \| Congress Watch - Auto "Choice" Cost-Savings Estimates vs. Real-World Experience (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Moreover, real-world experience with states that have already adopted no-fault systems has convincingly shown that consumer costs under no-fault remain high and that it is the insurance industry, not consumers, which really benefits from such laws.
		States with mandatory no-fault systems saw their liability rates increase an average of 45.6% between 1989-1995, nearly 25% faster than the 36.8% growth rate of the average liability premium in traditional tort law states.
		Congress needs to take a closer look at the estimated "savings" of a choice no-fault system and re-examine this ill-advised "remedy" to the excessive cost of auto insurance.

	http://Founding Chapter - Coalition for a United States of Africa
		A United States of Africa with the largest usable coastline in the world could one day be the country that enriches all of Mankind, feeds the world, heals the world, teaches the world and balances the world.
		The state is responsible for general legislation, and the national or ethnic area for specific legislation on land-ownership, inheritance, registration of births and deaths and so on.
		The post-colonial state has thus retained absolute sovereignty, and peoples have been deprived of their own means of subsistence: the Ogoni people of the Niger Delta, for instance, Nigeria’s oil-producing region, or the Dioula people of Casamance who are rebelling against the Senegalese state.
