From a nonUS perspective I feel very gealous of the "We the people" constitution and the status it gives to its citizens. Americans have it so much easier to exercise and protect their rights. To seek remedy in secession is, imo, the harder way of accomplish freedom when all you have to do is use what you already have and forgot how to use.
The thing is, each state has a similar constitution, so the federal protections are generally redundant.
From our perspective, the US began as the smallest government in history and has grown to the largest. However, I do see your point. The more I've travelled, the more I appreciate the society I live in.
Is secession something people think about where you're from? I'd be curious how they discuss it.

I don't know much about the several states constitutions and how it works in practice.
Usually the only secession discussed where I'm from is leaving the EU.

and made a lot of enemies around the world.
Now that I think about it, it might be easier to secede than to educate most of americans how to reduce the government to it's lawful functions

That's my feeling, but neither option is particularly easy.
Do you foresee anymore nations leaving the EU anytime soon?
