States are political entities which are the possessions and agents of nations,
which are also political entities, hence the use of the word “of”—- as
in, for example, “Anne of Green Gables”. “Anne” comes from “Green
Gables”, but at the same time, “Green Gables” belongs to “Anne”—and her
family.
.
The “States of America” belong as members in the “perpetual union” created by The Articles of Confederation (1781), but they do not belong to the Union thus created.
.
We have to pay closer attention to all those “little words”—-!

This discussion began with the difference between “Common Law
Courts” and “Courts of Common Law”, in which I revealed the apparently
astounding news that whenever you see the word “of” it indicates a secondary entity derived from or acting in behalf of something else,
and in today’s world almost always indicates an incorporated legal
fiction of some kind operating in the international jurisdiction of the
sea.

“Common Law Courts” = Land Jurisdiction = Ohio State
.
“Courts of Common Law” = Sea Jurisdiction = State(s) of Ohio
