What it does

Admits the Washington, Douglass Commonwealth as a state while preserving a federal district core.

Why it matters

Ends taxation without full representation for more than 700,000 residents and adds Senate representation.

Progressive take

This is democracy math. Opposition is usually about Senate seats, not constitutional theology. Say that out loud.
