Legal Learn

The law has been perverted, and the powers of the state have become perverted along with it. The law has not only been turned from its proper function, but made to follow an entirely contrary purpose. The law has become a tool for every kind of greed. Instead of preventing crime, the law itself is guilty of the abuses it is supposed to punish.
Frederick Bastiat, The Law, 1853

Define: United States

Everyone knows what United States means. Right?


28 U.S. Code § 3002 - Definitions

As used in this chapter:
...
(15) “United States” means—
(A) a Federal corporation;
(B) an agency, department, commission, board, or other entity of the United States; or
(C) an instrumentality of the United States.


The curious read from the top of the pages and notice it says "in this chapter". Okay, what is this chapter?

28 U.S. Code Chapter 176 - FEDERAL DEBT COLLECTION PROCEDURE
