National Monuments of the United States of Quentin

See also: List of Quentinian National Monuments

National Monuments of the United States of Quentin are sites in the United States of Quentin designated by the federal Department of Monuments or Congress as places or sites which are symbols of the nation, and have great historical or national importance. These include only man made structures or locations which have special significance to the nation as a whole, and do not include natural wonders or sites, which are designated as national parks, nor does it include museums, which are designated as federal museums. There are currently 50 national monument sites in the nation, which are all maintained by the Department of Monuments. All are protected from development or destruction.

The first national monument of the nation was Mechanicsburg Capitol Square, designated in 1848 by the Department of Monuments under the leadership of President Sam Logan. Though neither the Constitution nor the charter of the Department of Monuments gave the Department this power, Logan established it as one anyways, and with National Monument Designation One laid out the special protected status of all monuments and the future power of the executive department to establish these. Congress disputed this power, however, and in 1850 designated the second national monument by legislation, with the Founders Act of Monuments designating the Firedawn Tomb and Penswill Tomb as national memorials. In 1854, the case was brought before the Supreme Council in the case Logan v. Bigafeet, both main proponents of establishing monuments. The Council decided unanimously that the power should belong with both branches, and that the specifications for protection laid out by the National Monument Designation One were legal under the Constitution, and could continue.

The most recent national monument is Privateer's Lighthouse, being designated in 2014 by Secretary of Monuments David Uniman. The only monument under construction which has already been designated is the Roofball War Memorial, scheduled for completion in 2023.
