This is a good question. AFAIK there is no provision for this.Originally posted by FSM with Cheddar View PostWhat about if one country in the euro said they want out, and all the other countries said no. Would force be used to keep them in?
When the United States of America was formed, some suggested a provision for states to secede from the Union. It was argued against, that there was nothing to prevent a state from seceding, so that a special provision was not needed. Later of course Lincoln argued that since there was no provision for a state to secede, it was not allowed, and could be resisted even against the wishes of the people of such a state, by the then bloodiest conflict ever seen, if need be.Comment
