Live your life without using credit or any of things created to enslave you...
and you will begin(only begin) to understand what it is like to be free!

Reminds me of an aspect of Infoquake
A futuristic novel.
Graduates from the hive choose which government they will contract with.
Anyway, the need to secede is upside down. The constitution is supposed to limit what the government can do. If you can't do it to a citizen, you can't do it to someone who individually seceded, because you simply don't have the power to do it. In a constitutional republic, anyway.

No, I'm not. You can revoke your citizenship and move elsewhere anyway. Why do you think the founding fathers did not allow for it?

Thats a free rider problem
Thats a free rider problem if I ever heard one. Even anarchist communities would not allow a person not contractually bound to adhere to a communal code of conduct to live there.

Generally, personal/social
Generally, personal/social responsibility and justice will be present among communities regardless of any contract. In a way, the lack of a contract makes one more accountable to their neighbors.
