A state may be prevented from seceding due to constitutional, legal, and political frameworks that assert the sovereignty of the nation as a whole. Federal Laws and constitutions often establish that secession is unconstitutional, and the central government may use military or legal means to maintain unity. Additionally, economic dependencies and social ties can deter regions from pursuing independence, as the consequences of secession might lead to instability and loss of resources. Ultimately, the desire for national cohesion and stability often outweighs secessionist movements.
