They cannot dissolve their Republican form of government as long as they are subject to the constitution!

Did they "dissolve" the republican form of goverment? Or did they simply decide to constitute thier OWN republican form of government instead of being subject to the already existing one?

They attempted to form a new State from old States (which was expressly forbidden without Congressional authorization); and they were, are and shall remain subject to the Constitution.

They don't get a “we don't want to be anymore, so we are not” vote. They don't have that power, either legally or (as things were actually decided) militarily.
