If states are “not allowed” to secede, then we are not a FREE Republic nor a FREE people. We would be prisoners of a tyrannical government and its “rulers”.

Let me ask you a simple question: do counties have the right to secede from states . . . or is that "different?"

Interesting question, ZC.

Each individual’s concept of liberty and right of secession differs. For example, this woman presents some thought-provoking material. Most of it makes excellent sense, although, IMO, at some point towards the end of the video, she “loses” me : )

There are Libertarians who believe slightly differently. And then, there are min-anarchists who hold alternate beliefs.

We live under the United States Constitution, which speaks to States rights, and does not mention County rights. I suspect County rights would fall under each individual state’s State Constitution.

In the end, I hold individual liberty in the highest esteem. At times, though, it is a challenge to reconcile that with living in a society with other people!
