I see that you are from the if you can’t dazzle ‘em with brilliance, baffle them with BS school of thought. Where exactly are the requirements for secession listed in the Constitution?
Exactly Jospehm20. People who war against secession war against unalienable rights. A law cannot over rule an unalienable right. Unalienable rights can be delegated, but not surrendered. And as such, when delegated, the delegation can be rescinded. Secession rescinds a delegated power. That’s all it is...and no law created can nullify that.
Not even Texas v. White nor the make believe “perpetual Union” baloney made up out of whole cloth.
The requirements for seccession are easily found in the 10th Amendment. Powers not specifically granted to the federal government are left to the states, or to the people.
The Constitution is detailed in how a state can join the union, but makes no mention of how a state may leave. The fact that the Constitution does not discuss it, means it was a power deliberately left to the state. There is not the -slightest- indication that the founders meant the union to be a suicide pact, where one could enter and never leave.
The civil war only decided one thing. That is what happens when a populous industrial region fights a rural agricultual region.
