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..."
The unalienable rights of the good people of Kansas, as granted by God, and reflected within the Constitution have been tread upon. As-such, these same people wish to peacefully withdraw from the Union and form their own free and independent nation.
