Title: A Constitutional History of Secession
Product review: The author does an outstanding job of setting forth the historical context of basis for the right of secession, going especially back into the history of England, from which we inherited most of our law and legal thought. However, at the same time, he probably spends too much time on the English history that gave our forefathers the basis for their decisions in the formation of our independent states which gave birth to the national government. Perhaps more space could have been devoted to the intermost thoughts of our founders. It is unfortunate that very few Americans have been taught the truth of the right of secession that our founders reserved to the states and how many of the warnings by some of the federalists about national government power have become true, which beganconsistent movement with the Civil War.
