Meh. If anybody formed the union and the constitution it was the people of the country. That's why it wasn't state legislatures that ratified the Constitution but special conventions in each state.
They are not chained permanently to an agreement they freely entered into, or held hostage to it by the will of other states. If that were true, then they had no legal sovereignty to enter the union in the first place, and we are still technically subjects of the British crown.
We had a revolution in the 1770s. If you wanted a revolution in the 1860s, fine, but don't pretend like there was a clear legal process of secession. Force and power and pressure were involved from the beginning.
If youre not supporting that argument, then I dont know why you are bothering to get involved.
I thought this was an open forum and thought I had something to contribute. If you only want to read what you already think, that's your loss.
“If anybody formed the union and the constitution it was the people of the country.”
Right, that’s why it’s called the “United Peoples of America”.
