It is unconstitutional to make DC a state. If it would like to have the characteristics of a state, it can be incorporated back into Maryland where it came from initially.
The Founders limited the size of the district to no more than 100 square miles. Congreff immediately ratified 100 square miles for the district. Their intent was to have 100 square miles. Furthermore, precedent has already been set for returning land in the district to the state which originally ceded it. This would be Arlington County and Alexandria, Virginia. If it's determined that any further sections of the district would like to have representation in Congreff, then there is a procedure for retrocession back to Maryland. Case closed.
One other thing of note. ----If the small area that contains the Federal Buildings etc becomes the district, then a Constitutional Amendment would be needed so as to remove the current 3 Electoral votes that the district currently possesses. The number of people residing in the smaller district would only amount to hundreds and would wield unequal power in The Electoral College. Case closed(again).
The government building areas remaining DC and the rest becoming a new state would not violate that,thus its constitutional.
