              Generally it is better to merge than to delete.  There are actually incoming links to the misspelled topic, and merging will relink those links to the "real" United States topic.

            Which property should it be under?  "Governmental Jurisdiction" or "Country"?

              I think you meant “type,” not “property”; that confused me for a bit. I think it should be under Governmental Jurisdiction; as per my post over on Government, smaller governments have forms of government as well.

              What should this property be called? Operating document? Founding document? Charter? Constitution?

              Hi Mangala,

              Actually the US Constitution has its own topic page (http://www.freebase.com/view/en/united_states_constitution).  The Constitution topic is of type "Constitution", the first property of which is country.  We'll take a look to see if that can be improved; suggestions are welcome!

              Thanks,

              Mike

            Removed "Official Language" as per Wikipedia entry:

            http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_the_United_States

            Removed "Liberty Dollar" as it is not a currency in itself, but rather a unit of currency.

            I don't know that this can be rightfully linked as a form of currency inside the US as it is not recognized by the Federal government.

             By the same token, the United States has no official language, although English is the predominant language.

              Definitely shouldn’t be; I assume the user that did it did so accidentally.
