It doesn't say "ties," does it? It says "government." Specifically it refers to the former government under the Crown. Meaning, the people of Virgina are going to have their own local government.

It is really not that difficult of a concept. it just takes a little reading comprehension. Drama queen.

I don't recall anything about their government only being a "local" creation, which would be absurd in itself. Do you really expect anyone to believe you when you are effectively claiming that Virginia sent a message to the King telling him the equivalent of "we reject your rule and kick out your government, but we're still a part of your empire"? If so you truly are dumber than I thought, and that's saying a lot because one has to be pretty darn dumb to get caught 4 separate times attempting to falsify 4 separate court cases with extraneous material, having never learned from the first failed attempt at that stunt...or second...or third.

Returning to Virginia's constitution, I do see that they declared "the government of this country, as formerly exercised under the crown of Great Britain, is TOTALLY DISSOLVED"

See that capitan? Totally. Totally, as in a term connoting absoluteness. Totally, meaning in totality, as in a final, full, and complete severance from the government of Great Britain, period. To suggest anything other is simply dishonest...which is exactly what you are. A whiny, arrogant, ignorant, obnoxious and filthy little liar.

Here's another little kink in your bizarre and historically unsubstantiated theory, capitan.

The 1776 Virginia Constitution also reads "All escheats, penalties, and forfeitures, heretofore going to the King, shall go to the Commonwealth, save only such as the Legislature may abolish, or otherwise provide for."

Now tell me. If Virginia was not asserting its independence from Britain but rather merely reorganizing the local government while remaining part of the British empire, why would they lay claim to King George's lands for the new Commonwealth? I patiently await your answer. It will no doubt prove to be as absurd and laughable as your previous attempt to explain your way around the irrefutable and obvious.
