I wouldn't give a damn what type of government it was so long as it was truly voluntary to be under its rule. The not being able to opt out without a lot of blood is where my problem comes in. Were we to revert to The Articles and adhered strictly (although there wasn't much wiggle room in them to begin with which is why they had to go) I honestly would be more than satisfied with that structure since at least its designed for local to have most 'power' and lessens as it goes up. Side note, I've long thought the US is setup already for total decentralization. County borders would make the perfect size autonomous communities with each free to do it however they choose.
