Returing to the ACC is merely mental masturbation: feels good, is sterile.This is why the restoration cause exists, as it is a legal means to return to the Articles of Confederation in order that we may once again have a union/confederacy of States under a wholly federal system. The Articles were fine for the purpose of a union of States, the 1787/1789 U.S. Constitution sought to create the national system that exists today wherein it hold not only an authority over the individual citizen, but an indefinite supremacy over all persons, and things. In other words a tyranny.Which was crushed forever in the Civil War.No, I'm not a wannabe, I am.
You are a dimwit pretending that what he wants to believe about history has anything to do with reality. You're just kidding yourself.
No, he presents a point of view. And what does that tell you about our Constitution? It tells me that the founding fathers didn't do a very good job, because they wrote a document vague enough to be open to interpretation.
How can Constitutional questions be settled by a war? The question remains in some people's minds. Constitutional issues can only be resolved through constitutional means. Was there a constitutional amendment passed prohibiting secession? Were legal mechanisms put in place describing a constitutional process for secession? If not, then the Constitution remains just vague enough to cause problems in the future.
