Down to what level? If, say, California has the right to secede from the U.S., does San Bernardino County have the right to secede from California?

The Constitution is a pact between the states and the Federal not between the Federal and counties. So your question is moot.

I see your point. But my post (#13) wasn’t really about the U.S. Constitution. It could apply to any country, anywhere. The gist of the original post was: If a people vote for independence, why not give it to them?

So my question became: If you accept that premise, where does it stop? For example, should a town be able to secede?
