The People of this country formed a social compact; that compact wascontained and detailed within the written Constitution giving the exactextent of powers they deemed necessary to the government. As you note,these were powers that were delegated to the government by the People,not relinquished. There has never been a single power relinquished by thePeople, any power within the function of the government is isolated throughthe action of Delegated Trust based upon the Sovereignty of the People.
This was to ensure that the People themselves enjoyed a very qualifiedLiberty of Action, Freedom from unnecessary restraints, unnecessaryrequisitions or extractions from the government. Of those limitations, thePeople in their Sovereignty gave their limited Consent to the government tofunction within a very, very narrow frame of action primarily for the solepurpose of the defense of the Liberty and the Rights for which they formedthe government in the first place.
Any measures inconsistent with that very limited frame of action is tobe considered an illegal action and an assumption of un-delegated powers bythe government. In some cases where such illegal assumption of powerscontinues unabated, either by legislative or judicial process, it leaves thePeople with no peaceable remedy to follow since the general laws or themeasures which were instituted to protect the People are ignored, makingthe ability to have their sincere petitions and grievances redressed in alegitimate manner.
When the government steps away from that social compact formedbetween the People to provide the protections of their Life, Liberty and thePursuit of their Happiness, then it proves itself defective; having abridged itsprimary responsibility, choosing instead to take a more oppressive andtyrannical direction by ignoring the proper function of the powers that wereDelegated to it in Trust. At any time when such a government violates thatTrust, it becomes a law unto itself, assuming powers outside the realm of itsauthority.
 
One of the primary Rights of Action is the ability of the Individual toleave his own community, his State or his country; even the Right to cast off his native allegiance is one of the primary tenets of Liberty. This same Rightof Action extends from the Individual to his respective States, for if it did notthen the Right of Action for the Individual would not exist since all powersReserved by the States are a direct delegation from the People themselvesthrough their Consent.
I realize there are some who absolutely deny the claim of such Right of Action however, upon reasonable thought and a small amount of research itbecomes clear that such a view is entirely contrary to the principlesacknowledged in the Constitution of the United States. That primary principleexhibits that any action voluntarily entered into by the Individual may also,if desired, leave that compact in the very same way he entered. Indeed, towhom or what do we owe allegiance to in this Republic?
I state that we owe no one or anything our allegiance, but we dovoluntarily lend our allegiance to the Principles upon which this country wasfounded. It is not some person, or an inanimate object such as a flag, oreven a piece of paper called the Constitution that either demands or seeksour allegiance, but it is the Principles found within that Constitution that,through a voluntary act we espouse and proclaim our allegiance.
No allegiance is Due to anyone or anything in a free society. It is atthe discretion of the Individual to judge the cause for his allegiance or lackthereof; so too, after careful and weighted consideration the same applies tothe States who function at the pleasure of their People and indeed theConstitution provides for such actions by the Several States who wish to,upon Concurrent Consent, leave this Union in the same voluntary manner inwhich they entered it as appropriately and legally demonstrated in theirrespective Resolutions at the time of Ratification.
 
There is, at least in principle, along with the Rights of Action, theRights of Conscience and the ability to have the Freedom of Inquiry which allare entitled to and that entitles the Individual to be Free from the control of anyone, especially from the government which was instituted by the Peopleto which the People have delegated that very limited scope of power for veryspecific purposes enumerated within the Constitutional Compact. Thoseelected to government have absolutely no right or power, except whenillegally assumed, to do anything to infringe upon those Rights.
Now, notwithstanding, within the delegated powers provided to thegovernment are the necessary functionalities to render certain protectionsfor the People who delegated those powers. So, my statements should notbe, as I know they will be, misconstrued into some anarchist libertineversion of unbridled lawlessness irregardless of the laws created by andthrough the Consent of the People and their delegation of powers togovernment for that purpose.
We are however, the sole judge of our own conscience and theattributes obligated to the direction our consciences lead. Therefore it can bereadily assumed that there is no part of the government that has beendeputized to regulate or infringe upon the conscience of the Individual.Every single individual has the Right and should be at Liberty to formopinions as he or she pleases and act upon those opinions as long as suchactions do not infringe upon the Freedom and Liberty of others to act inconcert with their own consciences.
Now, ancillary to the very limited above list of Rights comes the Rightto Reform, Secede from or Dismantle entirely the government itself. ThisRight is the cornerstone of the American Republic of States. It forms thevery nature upon which this country was founded. It is the Right to resistthose who govern when government invades the Rights of the People. Nogovernment can have a legitimate foundation except when founded upon thebest interests of the People themselves and the Consent upon which thegovernment should depend for guidance and deliberation of law.

is reading The Constitution was written to make the Union more perfect, not to destroy it and start over. Accordingly, the Articles are still in force as evidenced by their inclusion in USC Title 1 along with the Constitution. My Declaration of Re-Independence, closely following my original Declaration due to history repeating itself, proposes reverting back to the Articles (whereby references to a specified number of States is construed to be a proportion out of 13) given that democratic election of the President, Senators and Representatives has failed to stop abuses by national supremacists. It is available as a 4-page pamphlet at: http://www.scribd.com/doc/19316765/Th... .
