Can a State Secede?: Sovereignty in Its Bearing Upon Secession and State Rights (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Can a State Secede?: Sovereignty in Its Bearing Upon Secession and State Rights

WE hear so many and such conflicting opinions, every day, upon the relative and respective powers and duties of the State and National governments, that an effort to reach some satisfactory solution of the questions involved in these discussions may not seem to be ill-timed, nor wholly destitute of interest, though the topic should prove to be trite, or, in its nature, dry and abstruse.
