Can a state secede? It is unconstitutional? The answer is not as crystal clear as you may think.
Can a state secede? It is unconstitutional? The answer is not as crystal clear as you may think. In this program, Peter Afrasiabi takes you on a fun, interesting journey asking these questions: What does the Constitution say about secession? What does it implicitly say? How do the tenth and fourteenth amendments impact the analysis? What is the scope of the Supreme Court’s post-Civil War opinion on this question? By looking at these questions and some of the data about growing secession movements form California to Texas, as well as some famed legal scholars works on the question, this program gives you all the legal arguments for and against the question of the constitutionality of secession.
