They were first in a room in the capitol and they were fine with it. But I guess with all those briefs they had being mixed up with the congress' stuff, they built their own place where they can put stuff and do court.

Early form of civil government.

It's Washington, DC, home to the US government. It's between Virginia and Maryland and was set up as a district because the founding fathers didn't want a single state having claim to the national capital -- they wanted it independent.

Probably in Government... Like before Lincoln And G.Washington, like Knights of the Round table???\n\nTry going to google and put a few words in reference to your question, to narrow down the 1000's of respondents, add or change wording to narrow down to see something that you may want to work with or through...\n\nGood Luck!

Madison was created in 1836 when a former federal judge named James Duane Doty purchased over a thousand acres (4 km²) of swamp and forest land surrounding lakes Mendota, Monona, Kegonsa, and Waubesa, then known as the Four Lakes region, with the intention of building a new city on the site. Wisconsin Territory had been created earlier in the year, and the territorial legislature had convened in Belmont, Wisconsin. One of the legislature's tasks was to choose a permanent location for the territory's capital city. James Duane Doty lobbied aggressively for the legislature to select Madison as the new capital, offering buffalo robes to the freezing legislators and promising choice Madison lots at discount prices to undecided voters. He had James Slaughter plat two cities in the area, Madison and "The City of Four Lakes", near present-day Middleton. Despite the fact that Madison was still only a city on paper, the territorial legislature voted on November 28 in favor of choosing Madison for its capital largely because of its location halfway between the new and growing cities around Milwaukee in the east and the long established strategic post of Prairie du Chien in the west, and because of its location between the highly populated lead mining regions in the southwest and Wisconsin's oldest city, Green Bay in the northeast. Being named for a much-admired founding father who had just passed away, and having streets named after every founding father, also helped attract votes.\n\nThe cornerstone for the Wisconsin capitol building was laid in 1837, and the legislature first met there in 1838. Madison was incorporated as a village in 1846, with a population of 626. When Wisconsin became a state in 1848, Madison remained the capital city, and it became host to the University of Wisconsin. The Milwaukee & Mississippi Railroad (a predecessor of what would become known as the Milwaukee Road) connected to Madison in 1854. Madison became a city in 1856, with a population of 6,863.

It was also the second consitution.  The first, called the Articles of Confederation, existed for the first decade of the republic and left out many Congressional powers such as the power to coin money, and was thus replaced.  The more federalized Constitution has been the governing document ever since.

The framers of our Constitution created a strong federal government resting on the concept of "separation of powers."\n\nIn Article I, Section 1, of the Constitution, the Legislative Branch is created by the following language: "All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives." \n\nArticle I, Section 5, of the Constitution provides that: "Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, . . .."\n\nUpon this elegant, yet simple, grant of legislative powers and rulemaking authority has grown an exceedingly complex and evolving legislative process--much of it unique to each House of Congress. \n\nFor more detailed information on how our laws are made and for the text of the laws themselves, you should refer to government internet sites or pertinent House and Senate publications available from:\n\nThe Superintendent of Documents \nU.S. Government Printing Office \nWashington, D.C. 20402.\nU.S.A.

The founding of Tallahassee as capitol was largely a matter of convenience. In 1821, Florida was ceded by Spain to the United States. A territorial government was established, but the impracticalities of alternately meeting in St. Augustine and Pensacola — the two largest cities in the territory at the time — led territorial governor William Pope Duval to appoint two commissioners to establish a more central meeting place.\n\nIn October of 1823, John Lee Williams of Pensacola and Dr. William Simmons of St. Augustine selected the former Indian settlement of Tallahassee as a suitable place due to its location halfway between the two cities. Their decision was also based on its location near a waterfall — now referred to as the Capital Cascades — and its status as the old capital of the Apalachee chiefdom. In March of 1824, it was formally proclaimed the capital. Florida did not become a state, however, until 1845. It doesn't seem as if serious consideration was given to locating the capital at Tavares.

Are you referring to the Federal Budget? A combination of all 50 states budgets? City Budgets? Household budgets?\n\nIf you are referring to the American Federal budget, President Bush submitted a 2.7 trillion (US dollar) proposal. I don't think Congress has acted on it at this time.

There is no capitol of D.C. b/c it is not a state. It is not a city either. It is a part of Maryland which is zoned as a federal district. D.C. is divided into neighborhoods, though, the most famous of which is Georgetown. D.C. is considered to be the capitol of the United States of America.
