No, I was using the K.I.S.S. dictum when I originally asked "What happens if all the states left the Union. " You still don't seem to be able to come to terms with that question. Actually ,the only question my original post asked. KISS.......If one state is permitted to leave the union, then all states could leave. If all states left, or even a large portion of them, then the nation would cease to exist as a Sovereign nation. That is why, in principle, the constitution could never provide for secession as part of the document and obviously wouldn't have any relevancy to resolving the secession dilemma. As soon as a state seceded it would no longer be part of this sovereign nation, and therefore the constitution would not apply to it.

No you answered a question with another question. That is politics 101. You cannot answer a question, therefore you answer with another question. I do not play that game.

"If one state is permitted to leave the union, then all states could leave. If all states left, or even a large portion of them, then the nation would cease to exist as a Sovereign nation"

What determines a sovereign nation is not the size. I do not understand how you can come to the conclusion that if most of the states left the Union, then the remaining states are not a nation? It is still a nation just a smaller country.
