My son and I were just discussing secession last night, but in the context of the first Civil War. I find it interesting that the Constitution did not include a process for a state to leave the United States. It is discussed in the Federalist Papers, I believe.
Better do it now before Californians ruin Texas permanently.
The commies through out the Constitution remember, so why does it matter? The Constitution and the rule of law is going to be whatever 75 million people say it is. This is a game two sides can play.
Yes and the ANTI-federalist papers argued that all that we see happening now, will happen.
There were THREE of the constitutional convention participants who did not sign onto it. OF Those three, one was actually the father of the original documents that created this constitution, George Mason.
Three of those present (George Mason and Edmund Randolph of Virginia and Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts) refused to sign what they considered a flawed document.
“the Constitution did not include a process for a state to leave the United States”
Because it is a union of free will, not a dissolution of the State into a nation. It was always assumed that a State could leave anytime they wanted to.
