So then do you also believe in an individual right to secession?
You did say earlier in this thread that you felt it was a ‘natural right’ that did not need to be expressed in our Constitution.
So is it only a group ‘political’ right that was unspoken or was it also an individual right in your mind?
The fact is that there was no ‘special’ unspoken right for states to unilaterally secede anymore then there was a ‘natural right’ for individuals to secede.

So then do you also believe in an individual right to secession? I don't know Adolph, but since the only other political entity mentioned in the USC is the state, then I assume the state is the entity that can secede form the FedGov.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, OR to the people.
I'm making a big assumption that Madison was good with conjunctions and knew the difference between "or" and "and". Millions of individual people didn't unite in the Constitution, several States did so. Is that so difficult to understand, or does K-State have an alias?
