Imho, the Declaration of Independence, and the U.S. Constitution are the founding documents of this great nation. So, with out further adieu...
In a nation of laws, when someone asks, Do states have a right to secede from the Union?, a proper answer would have one of two forms:
Yes, because x.
X=the entire first paragraph of the Declaration of Independence. X=the Ninth and Tenth amendments (Causes for separation). And finally, X=Article IV, Section 4, first paragraph (Does anyone think we now have a Republican form of government?).
Doesn't the great state of Texas have a clause in their constitution regarding secession?
