New Hampshire succeeds

New Hampshire legisature ^

[freedom lives]

A RESOLUTION affirming States’ rights based on Jeffersonian principles.

Whereas the Constitution of the State of New Hampshire, Part 1, Article 7 declares that the people of this State have the sole and exclusive right of governing themselves as a free, sovereign, and independent State; and do, and forever hereafter shall, exercise and enjoy every power, jurisdiction, and right, pertaining thereto, which is not, or may not hereafter be, by them expressly delegated to the United States of America in congress assembled; and

Whereas the Constitution of the State of New Hampshire, Part 2, Article 1 declares that the people inhabiting the territory formerly called the province of New Hampshire, do hereby solemnly and mutually agree with each other, to form themselves into a free, sovereign and independent body-politic, or State, by the name of The State of New Hampshire; and

Whereas the State of New Hampshire when ratifying the Constitution for the United States of America recommended as a change, “First That it be Explicitly declared that all Powers not expressly & particularly Delegated by the aforesaid are reserved to the several States to be, by them Exercised;” and

Whereas the other States that included recommendations, to wit Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island and Virginia, included an identical or similar recommended change; and

Whereas these recommended changes were incorporated as the ninth amendment, the enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people, and the tenth amendment, the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people, to the Constitution for the United States of America; now, therefore, be it

I was thinking the same thing.

[Hemingway's Ghost]

Ok, the “Yankees” are going to secede this time? Does that mean we southerners get to rampage thru the rust belt yelling remember “Gettysburg”? Actually, let me be the first to say it; don’t bother with secession, you are henceforth kicked out of the union. (the opposite of session). Go, just go.....

We kicked your ass once. We'd do it again.

[DuncanWaring]

Apparently not.

[Durus]

There are a lot of patriotic Americans that would fight to preserve the constitution and they will also fight to preserve the union. A secessionist movement will only divide us.

[Centurion2000]

We kicked your ass once. We'd do it again.

Keep dreaming Yank. You want a nuclear armed civil war?

[CindyDawg]

Would you fight to keep NH if they wanted to leave?

[Durus]

I live in NH. I don't want to leave the union. I don't recognize any individual or group “right” or “power” to remove my state from the union.

We kicked your ass once. We'd do it again.

Not that kicking libtard socialist Yankee ass all over the rust belt doesn't sound appealing, my point is this; let's do it peacefully this time. Yankees(libtards) Go, just go. Form your own socialist utopia, leave us out of it...

[CindyDawg]

Well if you did, I would hope yall would be told go in peace.

[Durus]

While you are advocating the dissolution of the USA why not just advocate the complete revocation of the constitution.

[achilles2000]

“There are a lot of patriotic Americans that would fight to preserve the constitution and they will also fight to preserve the union.”

The Constitution has been over for a long time - a dead as the Roman Republic in the days of Augustus Caesar. All that those “patriotic Americans” who would fight to preserve the Union would be doing is fighting to preserve the power of an illegitimate government. I don’t think that there will be much fighting, though. The more likely scenario is disintegration as a result of several endogenous and exogenous shocks to society over the next 10-15 years.

Um thats kinda the point......

We disagree with everything they do, they are so different almost evil. Nancy pelosi said that we need to support abortion cause its good for the economy, thats sick!

In my view its either socialism or secession.

[Texas Federalist]

I don't recognize any individual or group “right” or “power” to remove my state from the union.

"Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

[Durus]

Conflating Yankee's with liberal is a mistake.

[Durus]

There is a fundamental difference between a civil war and a revolutionary war. There is a marked difference between succession and revolution as well.

[TSchmereL]

Success at last!

[CindyDawg]

I’m advocating peace. I don’t want a civil war if it can be prevented. If a state wants to leave and their concerns can’t be addressed then let them go.
