The 55 States Project advocates self-determination and fully elected government for the peoples of the British and Irish islands. Each nation would enter the Union with the full privileges, sovereignty and constitutional equality of an American state: two Senators, a House delegation by population, and its own constitution, legislature and courts.
The idea is not new. Andrew Carnegie argued for it in 1893; Clarence Streit’s “Union Now” drew wide support in 1939. What is new is a complete framework — from abolishing the Crown to Article IV admission in Washington.
