The stile?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stile

 

Not sure why you posted this. Can you please explain?

 

Because I don't understand the quote: "The Stile of this Confederacy shall be the United States of America."

I don't understand what a stile has to do with anything, or why they'd describe themselves that way? I don't get it.

 

They always get the quills wrong.
A real one look like this...Sheesh!

 

I have no idea but I think it refers to the style and not the structure. The newly formed nation was the stepping stones to freedom, something that Europe did not have at that time, especially in religious freedoms.

 

I believe stile represents the steps the confederacy will take toward democracy.

 

Here's a badge I have from Penna, no where else to place it!

 

Standardized spelling wasn't always such a big thing. No less a luminary than Noah Webster though it should be "stile" rather than "style".

 

Nice.

 

"Style" would make a bit more sense here, but its still an awkward quote, unless I'm missing some context.

 

And then there are the long sweeping s's that are f's or is it the reverse?

 

That is a nice piece. It's been well taken care of.

 

"To style" in the sense of "to name" is a long-established usage. I still occasionally see it in the form "self-styled".
