Now you're all over the place. I'm asking how a state could take the right to secede unilaterally into the Constitution when they did not have that same right under the Articles of Confederation.Nope. It didn't require unanimous consent to leave, only for changes to the AoC. They DID secede unilaterally fron the Articles. Or are you arguing they are still members of such?

Sorry, leaving wasn't an option according to the Articles. And the states didn't 'secede unilatrally'. The Congress approved a convention to propose changes to the Articles, and out of that came the Constitution.
