The States and their people retained unlimited authority that Sovereignty provides . It goes without saying that being able to reform, or abolish or start anew would be some, but not all of the powers reserved.

Hence, no trial for Jefferson Davis.

BTW, you ask great questions!

ROTFLMAO!!!! There are several reasons why Davis was never tried for his crimes, but Lost Cause blathering about sovereignty wasn't one of them.

You can't try somebody for something that isn't illegal.
