∙ 12y agoAfter the war between the states, the states that rejoined the Union had to swear allegiance to the Union and therefore nullifying any thought of separating from the Union. There are no legal provisions for states to leave the Union.
Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton had a duel over the secession of New York.

"Should" they be able to legally leave? Yes.
"Can" they legally leave? No.
The nation that was founded upon the right to secede does not itself acknowledge that right any more. Were a state to send in a "Declaration of Independence", as the U.S. had done to the United Kingdom, it would mean war.
Answer 2:
No they shouldn't because we are the united states of America. United means together. So no.Answer 3:
If secession isn't a right that the people have, then the U.S.A. should not have been able to leave the "United" Kingdom of Great Britain. But they did.
Answer
No, a state cannot and should not be able to legally leave the union. But, if you think about it, this makes perfect sense: If you want to leave the union, it means that you disagree with the policies of the union, so what difference does it make if its "legal" or not? Once you separate yourself, you are no longer bound by the laws which would have made it illegal to begin with.
Conversely, the Union itself would view it as an act of treason to leave them, and again, this makes perfect sense for essentially the same reason.

Can you have both a civil union and a marriage at the same time?
Yes and no: yes, if your civil union and marriage are both to the same person; no if they are to different people and both are recognized in your state. If you are in a state where your civil union is not recognized and you are married to a different person (presumably one of the opposite sex), then your civil union does not legally exist, only your marriage does.

What are the requirements for a civil union?
This varies from state to state, but generally they are the same as for marriage. Both parties must be of sufficient age and of sound mind. The parties may not be too closely related to each other by blood. Neither party may be legally married to another person, nor already by a party to a civil union with someone else. The couple must comply with requirements for producing acceptable identification, paying applicable fees and obeying any statutory waiting period. After obtaining a civil union license, the civil union must be solemnized before an authorized officiant.
If your license is suspended in the state of Ohio and your a resident of the state of Florida and you go visit te state of Ohio what will happen?
It would certainly "seem" that since you may drive in any state in the union while holding any state driver's license,a suspension in any state would conversely suspend the license in all state's,as the law has been to the present.You should also be illegal in Florida as well,due to the Ohio suspension.------Check with a lawyer---
