There is one other document, The Declaration of Independence. Use only as a last resort, and expect violent push back from the PsTB, but it is the ultimate, get out of tyranny permission slip from God.
"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation..."
The Declaration of Independence has nothing to do with trying to create a new state from the territory of an existing one. You can use it as a moral justification for seceding from the US, or for overthrowing the current government, but it has no legal authority.
Our current constitution is our second constitution, the Articles of Confederation was our first.
And of course we adopted our second and current constitution in an unconstitutional way, since the Articles of Confederation required unanimous consent of the states to amend it.
The constitution was adopted after only 9 of 13 states approved it.
So there is precedent...
I think they want to remain a part of the U.S. so I don't see were the Declaration of Independence has any relevance.
excellent post!
