There might be some question of whether the secessionists believe in democracy after secession. One hears much about the 10th Amendment from some of these people, but nothing of the 13th, 14th, or 15th. Considering that the 14th prohibits the States from doing much that is prohibited by the 5th at the federal level...
Would those states that became republics become dictatorships? Would they so disenfranchise people that only a small proportion of the people could participate in the process? Would they allow secession themselves? Would they recognize basic human rights? Would they instead allow the tyranny of the majority?
