Since the right to independence is the very foundation of our own nation, he was in the wrong.

Question: Is the right of independence only at the state level, or can my county announce that it's now a separate country? Asking for a friend.

Counties can form a state i.e. West Virginia.

As our own framework for asserting Independence (Declaration of Independence) is identified as being at the state level, I have no need to worry about sub divisions of a state because none of that is relevant to the topic of whether states have this right.

According to the Declaration of Independence and our founders, states do have this right.
