Do States Have The Right Of Secession

"Civil War" battle scene, circa 1860-1865.

With American Politics heating up, for the first time in a century and a half, many Americans are now revisiting the same political questions as our earlier ancestors. Among these very troubling issues are: Hard-Lined State Sovereignty, Jurisdictional Nullification, and [even] Lawful Secession. The fact, that our Federalized Republican Union is increasingly forcing these issues - by its overbearing and all encompassing political nature - is now well established... for such drastic political measures aren't easily, or lightly, being considered by anyone.

After all, our last attempt at peaceably walking away from an ongoing political argument, resulted in America's most destructive war upon historical record! Like an: abusive, compulsive, and obsessive spouse - our Federal Government doesn't believe in divorce and the Supreme Court is largely afraid of her, for very good reasons. In such instances, they do not have any real enforcement mechanism at their own political disposal! Without an ability to back up their decisions, they are forced to concede whatever points are dictated upon America's inevitable battlefields. Case in point, the Supreme Court Decisions upon Tribal and State Sovereignty [respective to the actions of 1838 and 1860], which simply read:

• "Had the Office of The Presidency, or Congress, not had such political authorities and powers - then it couldn't have factually done so."

The Causes Of The American Civil War

Contrary to popular myth and modern opinion, The American Civil War was never about Slavery! Perhaps, the most well informed, well documented, and well written document ever published upon this subject was penned by Patrick J. Buchanan on February 12th 2009. Although, the dividing issues were over matters of Trade, the underlying principles were that of: State Sovereignty, At Will Solidarity [In A Union], and States Rights!

Just as our laws make it illegal to smash someone's knees or to kill them for leaving, "A [voluntary] Worker's Union Membership..." Sovereign States, or Countries, have a Lawful Right to leave All Unions At Will - if they are inherently oppressive! In fact, that was the very basis for the original Declaration Of Independence in 1776... Was It Not? Where, then, is the "Right Of Ascension" - for, any created political body, to ignore "The Consensual Act Of Any Human Being [Or Entity] To Peaceably Walking Away From An Argument?"

A Federal Response May Be Coming Soon

While 21 States have re-asserted their "Proper and Constitutionally Guaranteed Sovereignty," The Federal Government is quietly preparing for the worst... and, judging by the information coming in everyday online, they have been preparing for this outcome - for much longer than many of us have [honestly] suspected! 3500 Marines have been practicing emergency maneuvers in The State of Indiana, to deal with an unknown future period of Urban Warfare and the potential securing of governmental facilities - due to, some form of "Domestic Terrorism...." Exactly the form that might take, is an interesting question, indeed?

Another interesting detail, are the military buildups of American soldiers and equipment occurring at certain key military installations across the country - over the last year. I particularly enjoyed one military commander's response, to the questions regarding this buildup. It was extremely telling in how he devised his particular answers! Unfortunately, however, I have been unable to relocate that particular piece of video footage this evening.

Is The Issue Of “State Sovereignty” Relevant Today

Since this issue goes hand in hand with that of “True or Effective State Representation,” I shall properly address both questions together. The answer, of course, is Yes… it is needed now, far more than ever - in our entire American Political History! The four simultaneous crises in our: Financial, Economic, Industrial, and Societal sectors – are the direct result of our losing the States Sovereignties and their highly essential Republican Style Representation.

Although, many modern Americans may not be aware of this, Our Enlightened Ancestors were people of very few, well thought out and carefully calculated words. On a single hand written page, they devised an entire system of government; that not only worked, but also, produced an average of 20 percent economic growth annually for numerous generations of Americans! In fact, it was that spectacular Economic Growth that provided an excess of jobs, despite a population growth from the lawful immigration of millions of impoverished foreigners that dwarfed anything [currently] coming from Mexico.
