> The Constitution is a pact between the states and the Federal not between the Federal and counties. <

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?

Read about West Virginia statehood. That may help you understand. It's complex.
