* Thursday, May 31, 1787 *

The last clause of the sixth Resolution, authorizing an exertion of the force of the whole against a delinquent State, came next into consideration.

This is very important information. Madison spoke up when it counted. He opposed federal military coercion against a State. What he stated elsewhere is irrelevant. What matters is what was in the Constitution. This ends the debate on coercion for secession. 1/2

It was purposely omitted from the Constitution after it was debated. Secession is not mentioned. Coercion is unconstitutional.
GAME OVER.
