Rules, everyone submits 10 amendments in order of importance, we put those in a datasheet, and we create the chapo constitution.

    I'll push back - external invasions are entirely different from internal ones. The way this proposal is set up, each individual nation can form their own military (while in the federation) and then secede whenever. The thing stopping, say, Texas from seceding from today's America is partly because they don't have a military (and couldn't nearly put one together to rival the US military). With each state as its own de facto nation, the central government becomes basically meaningless - why listen to an authority that doesn't have any avenue of executing its own laws?
