US Capitol

Washington D.C.,
Verenigde Staten


My last upload from Washington DC before I move to Arizona.
The United States Capitol, is a symbol of the American people and their government. Construction of the U.S. Capitol began in 1793. In November 1800, the U.S. Congress met in the first completed portion, the north wing. In the 1850s, major extensions to the North and South ends of the Capitol were authorized because of the great westward expansion of the nation and the resultant growth of Congress. Since that time, the U.S. Capitol and its stately dome have become international symbols of representative democracy.
With Republicans in the Executive office, the House and Senate, and more than likely the Supreme Court of Justice, we shall see what the future brings.
