Tell me 1 thing from the USA Constitution, and I’ll zap you.

I’ll start, the constitution limits the powers of congress in Article 1 Section 8.

Their jurisdiction is limited to the seat of government, which is now the District of Columbia, but at the time was not certain, so they put:

“To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of Particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States”
