You’re dodging the question, but that doesn’t surprise me.

Why does your statement “the official statements of the secession conventions were those approved by the people” apply to the ordinances but not the declarations?

The Ordinances of Secession were the documents drafted and ratified in 1860 and 1861 by each of the states that signified their formal secession from the United States of America. Each state ratified its own ordinance of secession, typically by means of a special convention delegation or by general referendum.

The ‘declarations’ were issued by 4 states and were simply various opinions and comments adopted into the records.
