A collection of essays, articles and papers, in the tradition of the Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers, that discuss secession from a legal, constitutional and historical perspective. Since the original release of the first edition of The Annotated Secessionist Papers, the world has not ceased to view secession and devolution as a legitimate recourse for people across the globe that seek more responsive democratic representation. In Europe, there are currently twenty-one active and real secession or devolution movements.
