As stated in other posts, the word ‘resident’ means to be temporarily in a location. So what is a better word? We can look at the Articles of Confederation which uses the word “inhabitant” four times, while the word “resident’ is not used. Here are three of the instances of “inhabitant”: The better to secure and […]
I recently read that “Resident” actually means “Resident Alien”, but they omit the word Alien. Now I see this form that has the option, “I’m a US citizen or a resident alien.” I’ve already written many times about how resident is someone staying temporarily at a place, as performers have a residency in Las Vegas […]

But instead they ask, “Are […]
Indonesian students proved to the world that protests can cause major political changes. Suharto, the president of Indonesia, resigned from office less than 2 months after students began to protest the government’s economic policies.
Just want to clarify a few things: United States is different from United States of America. When the president speaks, he usually stands at a lectern with the seal of the United States, not the United States of America United States is just the territories. It’s likely short for United States, in Congress Assembled. Managing […]
It’s been said that the Articles of Confederation are still law and that the Constitution is alongside them but does not replace them. Why don’t we hear more about the Articles of Confederation? Well, a top google search page about New York History doesn’t even mention the document. Their timeline simply jumps from the American […]
