I never thought I'd agree with Texas about anything but...
"Our founding fathers established the Constitution of the United States in order to form a more perfect union through the hard and frustrating but necessary work of self-government, Mr. Carson wrote. They enshrined in that document the right to change our national government through the power of the ballot a right that generations of Americans have fought to secure for all. But they did not provide a right to walk away from it.
Mr. Carson was answering secession petitions filed by residents of Texas, Louisiana, Alabama and five other states, as well as one counterpetition seeking the deportation of everyone who signed a secession petition.
The communications director for the Texas Nationalist Movement, Jeff Sadighi, shrugged off the White House response and pointed to a section of the State Constitution that says Texans have the right to alter, reform or abolish their government in such manner as they may think expedient.
It does makes sense. Collectively, a lot of us want to make serious changes to our government based on our changing culture (ie: Bitcoin!). Free will is awesome, but the catch is everyone gets it.
