History aside for a moment, if states could leave peaceably whenever the federal government over stepped it's legitimate powers we wouldn't be in the current mess. Freedom would have been better served in the long term and the people would leave any state which usurped their rights and go to another state where they were not. Instead we have universal tyranny with no where to flee to.
Fight or flight? Which do you think is better? And when do you think the next war will begin?
