Meaning, any future attempts to secede would either require a new Supreme Court ruling, the consent of the United States, or a successful revolution. In addition, the California Constitution does not allow the state to leave the United States; this would need to be amended by the state legislature or referendum before any attempt to secede.

These groups claim that California's earlier bout of independence establishes a precedent to which they could return. ^[3] This photo is in the domain, and can be found on a number of websites. ...
