Replying to Avatar Liberty Gal

California, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Massachusetts, and Washington, D.C. all can happily leave the US.

For that matter I'd like the option of voting for my state to leave the US like the Donbas voted to leave Ukraine. My state should be allowed to vote to leave alone or with other states and to become a stand alone nation, join with several other states to become a nation, or even to join another nation.

Indeed.

This is the solution proposed by HSH Hans-Adam II of Liechtenstein to the crisis of democratic legitimation in his book, the State in the Third Millennium.

The State must become a peaceful provider of security services, whose legitimacy stems from actual consent rather than hypothetical consent.

Hans-Adam pushed through constitutional reforms which guaranteed the right of individual towns to secede from the State.

"Individual communes have the right to secede from the State. A decision to initiate the secession procedure shall be taken by a majority of the citizens residing there who are entitled to vote."
