It's an important topic to understand declaring sovereignty from your political collectives. Why? Let's explore.

Some see this concept as "going rogue" but one could think of going rogue in a negative sense but it can also be an incredibly important, freeing thing for an individual or community to do. Have you read the declaration of independence from the USA? The first Rogue Nation, founded on a Renaissance of new ideas and political freedom?

One might see a connection between the printing press, individual interpreting of God's Word, self-actualization, and political sovereignty and all as things that our current modern culture has been founded upon. Unfortunately all but the printing press I think have been forgotten. The idea that when a government becomes too violent / coercive the only reasonable measure is civil disobedience or declaring independence from the political body; exercising freedom of association.

Dissociating too much can be disorderly and not good at all, but many places are rightfully claiming their political sovereignty and right to self-governance. Iceland reconstituted using Facebook and arrested fraudulent bankers, but in the end it actually hasn't changed a lot. It's surprising to note that the state keeps a tight hold on church donations / enrollment dollars. Western civilization had grown past the separation of church and state, so it's evident how we have to be careful of regressing back through history due to forgetting. Political Morals as a society have regressed in a lot of ways backwards toward medieval morals over the last few hundred years, but at the same time social morals and acceptance of those who are different has progressed. As long as they aren't defined as an illegal minority by legislative policy, that is.

Does every community need to declare independence and sovereignty? Perhaps we only need to claim our individual sovereignty and right to self-governance. Then we could Re-public as the communities and political bodies we are in, from the perspective of each individual being as a political sovereign whose rights can only be abdicated when legal proof / reason shows the violation of constitutional rights of another.

In another sense, if you steal from someone, you abuse their constitutional rights, and reparations are due. In another situation if an individual engages in voluntary trade, the government can keep their noses out of it. If someone is speeding and crashes, they should be held 110% accountable. On the other hand if someone accidentally goes a bit fast in a clear open sunny road, they should have the choice to pay a fine. Unless there is direct legal proof of constitutional rights being violated.

These ideas tie directly into our upholding of Democracy as some sort of end-all virtue. One could supposed that since governments have taken over public education, we have 'forgot' that democracy is fundamentally flawed as an isolated idea; it's group-think collectivism. At the same time, it's the democratic principles of the free market that organize things most efficiently. In a real way we need to have democratic principles in society. We cannot operate without democracy. This happens to be why Canada is a Constitutional Monarchy (with liberal democratic principles): because a strong Constitution is what creates a good strong country. We need a constitution first and foremost, it's man's attempt at summarizing God's Law. Afterwards we have legislative policies which are supposed to be inferior to God's Law, but our culture has flip-flopped this a lot. Democracy can be seen in action in the market place, and currently we don't see as much democracy in politics in most countries because of the 2 party oligarchy and how politicians can make promises with no legal obligation to fulfill.

Is it constitutionally sound to have 51% of people vote to turn minority groups such as alcohol producers into criminals? No, it's not possible. But it's democratically sound, in isolation of constitutionality.

But whatever 51% of people say, becomes law? That is not how God (reality, universe, nature, source) intended us to live. It is not how any rational moralist would have us prosper. It was only after the radical empowerment of the individual through defining each person as a political sovereign that we have come closer to true peace and freedom. See the Renaissance, and the USA, the experiment of freedom. The USA became a powerhouse of economic and political freedom. People flocked from all over the world to become a Sovereign in their own rights, usually from tyrannical Monarchs.

Even in most modern countries founding principles (the BNA act, Canada) income tax is unconstitutional. It's only since the taking over of government by central banks that forced income tax has become a reality. Afterwards with the Socialist movements in the 1960s that boasted free love and free welfare, that we see the growth of the cancerous parts of the government. Growing on unlimited fiat currency, selling out future generations into heavy federal debt slavery.

People will always strive for independence, and to not be controlled by others. This is why we see this last year the explosion in crypto-currencies and cannabis. Both instruments of freedom and self-sufficiency, that supersede the tyranny of modern governments. The Jamaican Mother's study with Cannabis shows why every empire has made cannabis illegal. Because like Jesus, cannabis empowers people (unlike Jesus Cannabis oil is a tool or sacrament not an end goal or a personal relationship). The babies coming out of the womb of the mothers who smoked cannabis were actually more developed when they took the early childhood development test. It's the same anomaly that is understood about cultures near fish having statistically larger brain. Specifically autonomy was ahead of the developmental curve in the Jamaican children. As a result any community that has had cannabis was likely not easily controlled by the empires. Historically all empires have made cannabis illegal while their leaders probably used cannabis ointments as medicine. (Cannabis oil is the golden oil born of the virgin Mary-Jane plant, and it has similar brain growing effects as fish oils)
