Secession by a state is logical and can be voted on by the people as the levers of government are already in place. What you are doing it the typical liberal tactic of debasing everything to win your argument. The "tear it all down man" , doesn't work.
"The withdrawal of a State from a league has no revolutionary or insurrectionary characteristic. The government of the State remains unchanged as to all internal affairs. It is only its external or confederate relations that are altered. To term this action of a Sovereign a 'rebellion' is a gross abuse of language."
-- Jefferson Davis

What article is that?
It is the next logical political unit.
But is it the only entity that has the self-evident right to declare itself a country? What about places that don't have states? Do they have no right of self-determination? How does a natural right only attach to a certain arbitrary political entity and not others?
You are espousing anarchy which would be well down the totem pile in a societal collapse scenario.
No, I'm asking that you resolve the apparent contradictions in your political theory. On one hand you claim a God-given right, but then you claim it belongs not to individuals but to one particular class of man-made political entities. You believe, if I understand correctly, that Rhode Island can declare itself to be a different country, but Harris County, Texas, with a larger area and four times the population, cannot. This seems a very arbitrary distinction and a difficult one to explain in terms of natural rights theory.

An election can be held just as easily at the county, municipal or precinct level.
