It then becomes a matter of force. Does the denounced authority have the capability to force its authority, and by extension its laws upon the those who don't give their consent? If it does, is this not tyranny? Yes, yes it is.
What law(s) are you talking about, exactly? Slavery? I don't give a damn if the people of a state who supported slavery refused to give their "consent" on eliminating slavery.
We are a country where our government's authority is derived from the consent of the governed.(supposedly) If enough people in a territory, a State revoke their consent and place it in the hands of another, than the government who lost their consent can pound sand.
No. We are a perpetual Union. A state cannot unilaterally secede from the Union.
