The U.S. Constitution provided for a federal district under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Congress and the District is therefore not a part of any state. The states of Maryland and Virginia each donated land to form the federal district, which included the pre-existing settlements of Georgetown and Alexandria. Named in honor of President George Washington, the City of Washington was founded in 1791 to serve as the new national capital. In 1846, Congress returned the land originally ceded by Virginia; in 1871, it created a single municipal government for the remaining portion of the District. The centers of all three branches of the federal government of the United States are in the District, including the Congress, President, and Supreme Court.《首都选址法案》于1790年7月16日签署,首都选址确立在了美国东海岸波托马克河畔。根据美国宪法,联邦特区由国会全权管辖,不隶属任何一个州。马里兰州以及弗吉尼亚州各自捐出了部分土地用来成立联邦特区,原属马里兰州的乔治敦以及弗吉尼亚的亚历山大也都成为了捐地的一部分。为纪念开国总统乔治·华盛顿,华盛顿市于1791年建立,成为国家首都。1846年,国会将部分土地归还给了弗吉尼亚;1871年,国会建立了直辖市政府,用以管理重新规划后的特区。此外,美国联邦政府下辖的国会、总统府和最高法院三大中央机构也都坐落于华盛顿特区。 本站仅提供存储服务,所有内容均由用户发布,如发现有害或侵权内容,请点击举报。睿迎网提示:文章来自网络,不代表本站观点。
