| | Secession in practical terms meant that about a third of the population with substantial material resources had withdrawn from what had constituted a single nation and established a separate government. | | | Secession had been a matter of concern to some members of the Constitutional Convention that met at Philadelphia in 1787. | | | Calhoun was instrumental in fostering southern unity on a sectional basis and in formulating the call for a convention of delegates from the slave states to be held at Nashville, Tennessee, in 1850. |

| | Secession |
| | Consensual secession is secession that results either from a negotiated agreement between the state and the secessionists (as occurred when Norway seceded from Sweden in 1905) or through constitutional processes (as the Supreme Court of Canada recently envisioned for the secession of Quebec. | | | Constitutionally sanctioned secession is achieved either by the exercise of an explicit constitutional right to secede (which only a few constitutions currently contain) or by constitutional amendment. | | | The Supreme Court of Canada recently took the same position, arguing that the potentially disruptive process of secession by Quebec can be subjected to the rule of law by a process of negotiation and constitutional amendment. |

| | Since all civil governments are but the subject provinces of the Almighty God for the establishment and enactment of His Laws, secession from a despotic government is one means to arrest evil in an area of governance. | | | This question seems to be the proverbial "elephant in the room" of American law and history, for its answer is key in defining a state's right of secession: this question marks the difference between, for example, Boston seceding from Massachusetts, and Spain seceding from the United Nations. | | | If A is about to murder B in A’s house, A may not properly object when the police kick in his door to forestall this dastardly act. |
