The Constitution is binding upon both states and the federal government. Do you think the Constitution and the AoC still apply if the federal government has thrown off its Constitutional restraints? If the Federal government declares war upon a state, does the Constitution still apply at that point?
If Joe Bidon sends the corrupted military door-to-door to collect your guns and you can’t stop them, is your state still binded to the AoC?
The AoC can only work if all parties stick to the agreement. WHen they don’t the agreement is voided.
