Post Body

Let's say there was a measure on the ballot to dissolve your government. Municipal, county, state, country, whatever. Could be a 2/3 majority or simple majority, either way. In the case of the USA, let's say it was a constitutional amendment.

If the vote passed, would you consider it valid? Would you abide by a vote to end, say, Virginia, or the USA, as a legal and political entity? I'm not asking about your personal opinions on the wisdom of the vote- those are irrelevant. I'm asking if a democracy (or republic, or representative democracy, or whatever) can vote to end itself. And if not, why not?
