But the US government has to let you go. You can't just decide you're leaving.
Secession is an extra-legal act of self determination. It is "outside the law". Basically, the United States government wouldn't even be a party in the law suit.
But again, I would love to see how all the legal jargon gets sorted out if the topic of secession ever becomes a "hot topic".Then how come nobody has seceded?
Is that really your argument?
A)Many states could not survive without the Union.
B)Secession needs the majority of citizens, and no event has ever inspired that much of a need to secede.
C)The Federal Government would likely declare war on the seceding state, wrecking the state's infrastructure and economy, forcing it back into the Union and rendering the secession as a waste.
