Re: Thank God for Roosevelt thru Bush 41
The Constitution is the contract, all of the southern states had signed it in order for it to be ratified. On the other hand, if they no longer feel that they are being represented under the contract, then why should they not be allowed to get out of it? Kind of like how Locke said that the people have the right to revolt should they feel they are not being represented by the governing body. I think the Confederacy certainly had the RIGHT to get out of the United States for this reason. On the other hand, the Union also had the right to conquer them.
