"Each State, in ratifying the Constitution, is considered as a sovereign body, independent of all others, and only to be bound by its own voluntary act. In this relation, then, the new Constitution will, if established, be a FEDERAL, and not a NATIONAL constitution." --James Madison, Federalist No. 39 Does this clarify it for you any?

Does this clarify it for you any? Nope. Where does it say that, once ratified, that a state can walk out on a whim?
