What law prohibits Texas from seceding from US?
There is no prohibition of secession in the Federal Constitution. The Tenth Amendment clearly states: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." So, since secession is not prohibited by the Constitution, it remains a right of the States and the people (although the US Supreme Court chose to ignore the Tenth Amendment during Reconstruction in "Texas V. White"). Further, the Declaration of Independence created the nation we now call the United States of America by declaring the basic human right of the people to secede from Union with Great Britain. In modern times secession is not uncommon in other nations. The Soviet constitution allowed secession and Premier Gorbachev allowed the various Soviet states to secede rather than spill the blood of his countrymen. Norway seceded from Sweden after Sweden seceded from Denmark. Scotland will soon vote whether to secede from Great Britain. Quebec has voted on the issue of secession from Canada. Bangladesh seceded from Pakistan. Portugal seceded from Spain and the Basque region and Catalonia may soon do the same. Would Americans in this modern, enlightened age kill their fellows who only desired to go their own way? Are we so far behind the Russians and others?
