Thats how the Federal Government enacts laws.

The several states have their own method, all of which involve a legislature.

Local ordinances are not laws, they do not apply to all the citizens of a state.

They do if it is a state ordinance. The conferderates sure as heck thought all those that weren't for secession in their state were bound to it.

Or were the people that wanted to remain US citizens in Texas(or Georgia) going to get to elect represenatives and senators to send to Washington? Could Abraham Lincoln remain their legally elected president while their home was in Austin(or Atlanta)?

The confederates sure didn't think so.
