Why is Washington DC not recognized as a state despite being the capital?

in ActnEarn4 years ago

The biggest complaint of the people's representatives in almost all the colonial areas during the American Revolution was that the British were collecting taxes without representatives. The depth of this slogan was understood by the freedom-loving Americans in the past and it was possible to oust the British rule from America. Citizens of Washington, D.C., known as the capital of the United States, used the same phrase as an unofficial slogan in the post-independence period.Residents of the capital, Washington, like most of the other 50 states in the United States, have not been able to vote in congressional elections since February 26, 1801. And in such a situation, the citizens of the capital city have been paying federal taxes for two hundred years.
