Can you imagine the United States being told what to do by an American
Union based in Guatemala?

Actually, the correct analogy is
Georgians/Carolinans/Virginians/Alabamans complaining about being told
what to do by a load of leftie liberals in Washington DC.

They were not sovereign nations to start with. The analogy is false.


Surely the whole point of the Untied States is that each state is a
sovereign entity.

Until they try to secede.
