Why is Washington DC not represented in congress?

Sagot :

As the federal capital, the District of Columbia is a special federal district, not a state, and therefore does not have voting representation in Congress. The Constitution grants Congress exclusive jurisdiction over the District in "all cases whatsoever". ... D.C. residents have no representation in the Senate.
