NONE of the Founders believed the State could repeal its ratification. Madison blew that fallacy out of the water in his letter to Hamilton during the NY State Ratification Convention.

ROTF!!!! Madison did and signed on the dotted line (the Virginia ratification): 'WE the Delegates of the people of Virginia, duly elected in pursuance of a recommendation from the General Assembly, and now met in Convention, having fully and freely investigated and discussed the proceedings of the Federal Convention, and being prepared as well as the most mature deliberation hath enabled us, to decide thereon, DO in the name and in behalf of the people of Virginia, declare and make known that the powers granted under the Constitution, being derived from the people of the United States may be resumed by them whensoever the same shall be perverted to their injury or oppression'.

John Marshall, later Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court, stated in the Virginia convention that delegated powers may be resumed at will.

John Jay, and Alexander Hamilton did in the New York ratification: 'the powers of government may be reassumed by the people whensoever it shall become necessary to their happiness'.

Your threat to ignore me is hilarious since you bozos cannot help flaunting your ignorance of history.

You're the one in the clown suit.

Madison clearly stated once in the Union always in the Union. Unless a constitutional amendment allows withdrawal or expulsion a state has no power to withdraw. NO state act can supercede the Law of the Land. The states had committed themselves to a perpetual Union prior to the Constitution.

You can't even grasp what you quoted since it is NOT referring to the people of Virginia resuming powers but the people of the UNITED STATES.

It is hilarious that you even highlighted the phrase yet don't understand what you highlighted being so desparate to find some support for the Traitors' treason.

BTW welcome back.

There was NO "conditional ratification" allowed or accepted. That is just another bogus DS delusion.
