The fighting took place as the marines were searching for kidnapped Italian priest,
Giancarlo Bossi, on June 10, 2007. A MILF soldier confirmed that some of its members
had been involved in gun battles, despite the MILF peace treaty with the Philippine
government. Mohagher Iqbal, the chief negotiator for the MILF, denied that it was
responsible for the beheadings and the priest's abduction.[19] On July 19, 2007, despite
no ransom being paid, Giancarlo Bossi, who was kidnapped on June 10 in Zamboanga
Sibugay province, was freed. Philippine authorities described his kidnappers as members
of the Abu Sayyaf. Government authorities blamed a renegade commander of the MILF
for Bossi's kidnapping, but it denied any involvement with the kidnapping.
Mainstream political philosophy largely ignored theories of secession until the
dissolution of the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia in the early 1990s
through secession.[citation needed] Theories of secession relate to a fundamental
question of political philosophy: the basis of the state's authority. Secession derived from
Latin word (secession) have often been defined as an act of withdrawing from an
organization, union, or especially a political entity. Threats of secession can also be a
strategy for achieving more limited goals. Some theories of secession emphasize a
general right of secession for any reason ("Choice Theory") while others emphasize that
secession should be considered only to rectify grave injustices ("Just Cause
Theory").Some theories do both.
However in 1869 the United States Supreme Court ruled in Texas v. White, 74 U.S. 700
(1869) that unilateral secession was not permitted saying that the union between a state
(Texas in the case before the bar) "was as complete, as perpetual, and as indissoluble as
the union between the original States. There was no place for reconsideration or
revocation, except through revolution or through consent of the States. The arguments
against legal secession are generally based on both a historical concept of the Union and
the language of the Constitution itself. In the Texas v. White decision, Chase began his
legal challenge to secession with a historical discussion of the Union. He suggested that
the Union predated the states and grew from a common kindred spirit during the years
leading to the American War for Independence. In the United States ,all constitutional
methods should be exhausted before the American principle of self-determination is
invoked, but if conventions are called, and they must be at this point, all options should
be on the table. That would be the Dickinsonian solution to the problem. Experience,
he said in 1787, must be our only guide.2
