Is "America" the Same as the "United States"? Social Media Video Sparks Constitutional Debate

A recent social media video has sparked debate about the precise terminology used when referring to the United States. The video, created by RealMoneyJiggles, highlights the frequency of terms like "United States" and "United States of America" within the US Constitution, contrasting their usage with the absence of "America" or "American." The author contends that "America" denotes the continent, while "United States" is the official name of the country. "It's truly sad when I have to keep reminding politicians what their oath and the name of their country is," states RealMoneyJiggles. This analysis, while thought-provoking, requires further scholarly review to confirm its accuracy and avoid misinterpretations. The video's popularity suggests a public interest in clarifying the precise usage of these terms in official contexts. Further investigation into constitutional law and historical usage of these terms is warranted.
