As the founding fathers of the United States of America made clear in the Declaration of Independence in 1776:
"...Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and institute new Government..."
This petition is to jointly allow states to abolish and institute new Government. Not as individual states, but as a WHOLE COUNTRY.
