Can people BUY STATES in the united states of america?


jefferson didn't "buy" anything. federal gov't bought legal rights control, organize & exploit territory french gov't under emperor napoleon (the sum 3 million dollars, each dollar being defined 3.675 or ounces of .999 silver), same way federal gov't bought same rights alaska. transfer sovreign gov't sovreign gov't, not or private individual.

tha way several states organized, if 1 had sufficient sum of money, 1 conceivably buy total amount of land under direct ownership of state gov't, if approved state's gov't according state's constitution.
example you've given, could, assuming texas legistlature agreed put vote & majority of state's electorate voted approve sale, end owning remaining public lands specified in sale. not end owning of private property or federal gov't lands in state. in addition, single person not foreign gov't, unless there specific provisions in documentation granting sovriegn power make, execute, & judge law within land owned, still entirely subject federal, state, county & municiple laws, tax liability whatever local happend in.

for example, if rich person bill gates, wanted buy state, texas, it?
wondering cuz in u.s. history class today , reading , said in book thomas jefferson bought louisianna country 15 million french, think...
