DC residents are just that, residents.  They are not citizens of DC.  They are citizens of other states where they receive representation.

There are experts that can authenticate the flag. They'll check to see if the dyes are right, the fabric, the style. Some of that would depent on when and where it was made. \n\nYou could do a lot youself, but it would take a lot of time\n\nGood luck

Yes, the cover is kinda purple-reddish. On the very top has the inscription "Comunidad Andina" (Andine Community. The Andes is the major mountain range in South America). Below it, it says "Republica Bolivariana de Venezuela" (Official name of Venezuela). Below the country's name, is the Coat of Arms. All of these is in gold printing. I don't know about the inside, but probably it's true. These lines help to make falsification harder.

Delaware is correct.  \n\nNot only is DC wrong, but it came way late to the game, and it isn't even a flippin state, for crying out loud!  Did you just sleep through 13 years of school, or what?

The District of Columbia—identical with the city of Washington—is the capital of the United States. It is located between Virginia and Maryland on the Potomac River. The district is named after Columbus.\n\nDC history began in 1790 when Congress directed selection of a new capital site, 100 sq mi, along the Potomac. When the site was determined, it included 30.75 sq mi on the Virginia side of the river. In 1846, however, Congress returned that area to Virginia, leaving the 68.25 sq mi ceded by Maryland in 1788. The seat of government was transferred from Philadelphia to Washington on Dec. 1, 1800, and President John Adams became the first resident in the White House.\n\nThe city was planned and partly laid out by Maj. Pierre Charles L'Enfant, a French engineer. This work was perfected and completed by Maj. Andrew Ellicott and Benjamin Banneker, a freeborn black man who was an astronomer and mathematician. In 1814, during the War of 1812, a British force burned the capital including the White House.\n\nUntil Nov. 3, 1967, the District of Columbia was administered by three commissioners appointed by the president. On that day, a government consisting of a mayor-commissioner and a 9-member council, all appointed by the president with the approval of the Senate, took office. On May 7, 1974, the citizens of the District of Columbia approved a Home Rule Charter, giving them an elected mayor and 13-member council—their first elected municipal government in more than a century. The district also has one nonvoting member in the House of Representatives and an elected Board of Education.\n\nOn Aug. 22, 1978, Congress passed a proposed constitutional amendment to give Washington, DC, voting representation in the Congress. The amendment had to be ratified by at least 38 state legislatures within seven years to become effective. It died in 1985. A petition asking for the district's admission to the Union as the 51st state was filed in Congress on Sept. 9, 1983, and new statehood bills were introduced in 1993. The district is continuing this drive for statehood.\n\nThe federal government and tourism are the mainstays of the city's economy, and many unions, business, professional, and nonprofit organizations are headquartered there. Among the city's many educational institutions are the Catholic University of America, Georgetown University, Howard University, and Gallaudet University. Cultural attractions include the National Gallery of Art, the Smithsonian Institution, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and the Folger Shakespeare Library\n\n\nAlternatively you could go to the websites below for more information

Werecrow answered the question correctly. I would like to add that "Betsy Ross" creating the U.S. flag is largely considered to be fiction. If you look at pictures of early U.S. flags you can see how U.S. Revolutionary flag designers borrowed the colors from the Union Jack, the British flag.
