But you didn't answer the question. Say 7 of 11 confederate states had ruled that conscription was illegal. Given the right combination of states then most of the Army of Northern Virginia could have pulled up stakes and gone home. So if the states supreme courts said "Send our people home" and the Davis regime said "No" then what power did they have to make the Davis regime abide by their decisions?

But that would be up for their legislatures to decide.

The state supreme courts could not say "send our people home." It could only say either you do or do not have the right to conscript them into the regular army. The legislature could then decide whether they would be employed as a state militia and in what capacity. and the Davis regime said "No" then what power did they have to make the Davis regime abide by their decisions?
Try not providing the troops Davis requested.
