I think you are right. Voting rights aren't enough because so little is accomplished with JUST the vote. How much is done by congressional action, having the ability to pass your own state laws without congressional approval, votes in the electoral college, etc?

I think that we can make it work without putting the federal government under the jurisdiction of the State of Columbia, which before the Civil War (when our Forefathers set this all up and when states had much more power) may not have been so easy.
