Abstract
The theory of secession in the United States, as acknowleged by New England during the War of 1812 and by the South during the American Civil War, is traced to authentic historical roots, and freshly reexpounded so as to permit renewed consideration of the wisdom of James Buchanan and the error of Abraham Lincoln in 1860 and 1861. The British North America Act of 1867 (Constitution Act of 1867) is then viewed against Sir John Macdonald's misinterpretation of the American Civil War. Events leading to the present constitutional impasse between Quebec and Canada are reexamined, so as to reveal the underlying cause. The author expounds the principle of the Glorious Revolution, as explained by Sir William Blackstone, and shows why, in light of the constitutional custom giving legitimacy to the reign of William and Mary, and the present constitutional order of Canada under Elizabeth II, a reference to the Supreme Court cannot resolve the crisis now erupting in Quebec. The resolution of this crisis can only be accomplished by statesmanship, buttressed by patriotism and courage.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
