Given that the founders wrote documents describing that when governments fail them the people can form new governments,

And further rw1 was, in effect, the colonies seceding from the uk monarchy/empire

And further considering the appeasements made to certain colonies during the early years to prevent them from breaking away, without mention that they could not break away,

It would be hard for the founders to argue states would not be able to leave the union.

Of course, there are good reasons to leave, and bad ones to leave. Not all reasons are equal. It would also probably depend on what the state(s) were planning to do after leaving, if it would be things aimed at damaging or overthrowing the tates they were leaving.

We also didnt have so much federal ties and holdings in states way back then either, so different issues exist now that did not before.

Further, consider that it is a constitutional right to leave the union. Even if so, it probably would not prevent the union forces from trying to prevent those states from leaving. So we would ultimately have a cwii sitution, almost 100% given.

We have had now two ilegitimate presidents, 1 elected, 1 stolen, and now the current ineligible vp, so its clear our leqers do not give a shiite if things they do are constitutional or not, merely if they want to do something, then they do it.
