But George Washington said that there should be an "immovable attachment" to the national union.

The british government said the same thing. IN the course of human events it sometimes becomes necessary to part ways.

All well and good, but there is no provision to break the Union in U.S. law.

There is the fact that government derives its power from the consent of the people it governs. The very basic bedrock on which our government was built gives us the right to change, or to leave, that government.

Otherwise we are just rebellious british citizens
