Unfortunately, I've seen all too often how droolingly irrational neo-confeds can get when confronted with things like "the dictionary." I just can't seem to work up any sense of amazement at your lamentably predictable response.
Again, please show me the wording in the U.S. Constitution which declares secession to be revolt against the established government.
You're arguing with the dictionary. You lose.
[Sunshine]like the Belle she is, "Again, please show me the wording in the U.S. Constitution which declares secession to be revolt against the established government.
I'd like to point "Mr. Big Government r9etb" to a few facts. That is, after he swallows his dictionary of course.
There seems to be a major flaws in his augments. The people surrendered nothing when ratifying the Constitution, and the people talk as a State. They are in fact Sovereign. Somehow, he believes the General Government to be sovereign? FYI: the people and their states are what made the General Government, by which there lays a right to alter or abolish it when the Government no longer suits their interest.
Section 4. The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on application of the legislature, or of the executive (when the legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence.
Now, was the Southern State legislatures able to convene? Yes, as a matter of fact they did. They never once asked their agent the General Government for help of any sort. They voted for Secession, which is an act and a right of Sovereigns. There was no insurrection, there was Secession.
