TRUST IN YOUR PRINCIPLES, NOT PARTIES OR POLITICIANS!

Answer 1

The European Union (EU) is a sui generis political body, made up of twenty-seven member states. It was established in 1993 by the Treaty on European Union (The Maastricht Treaty) and is the de facto successor to the six-member European Economic Community founded in 1957. Since then new accessions have raised its number of member states, and competences have expanded. As a result, the EU can be described as both a supranational and intergovernmental body.

Answer 2

It has to do with the fact that they weren't able to get an agreement on a constitution...so they called it a treaty because then it can't be questioned like a constitution can be.  It has nothing to do with being an actual TREATY...but more of a control issue where they are making the people serfs and nothing more...it is happening here in the USA with the North American Union between Mexico, the USA and Canada.  To check it out look at the words NAU, SPP and the Amero.  You will not believe what these governments have been up to behind everyones backs!

Answer 3

Well there has been two treaties so far
