Question

Can a state still seperate from the Union?

Answer 1

No. Only Canada, the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia have ever permitted this, and only in one decade too. The US & most others has never and does not and probably never will permit a state becoming a country under any circumstances, it flat out rejects this.

Key West has a popular folklore myth that it once did, but I think the Civil War (and China's Taiwan policy & Turkey's Kurds, ....) has proven that this is always rejected hard.

Answer 2

No. It was very difficult for many to be accepted into the union , if they had to sign papers that it would be forever .

Answer 3

This is a question that can be argued either way----the civil war was fought over this and although the north won for Lincoln----the question still remains because of the wording in the constitution and the declaration of independence---also our Constitution is not followed in many instances by our present government---in the fact that it guarantees a Republican form of government for the States---the 10th Amendment has been all but forgotten-----and SCOTUS is following the 14th Amendment which makes 2 classes of citizens---their rulings in law assumes that everyone is a citizen of the UNITED STATES yet gives no credence that some are only citizens of the State in which they live.

Answer 4

dont I wish!!

Answer 5

Nothing in the Constitution says a state cannot leave, and because of that the 10th Amendment implies that a state can leave. But that didn't stop Lincoln from fighting the War of Northern Agression and it won't stop any other President from doing the same.

Answer 6

Legally no, but the State of Texas was its own Rebublic at one point so they may beable to if they really wanted to fight a war for independence.

Answer 7

One nation, indivisible....... A state never could, legally or otherwise. Texas was a part of MEXICO prior to becoming a Republic.
