But a union is not its constitution. A union can exist in the absence of a constitution. A constitution provides the framework for the governance of that union.

The American Union has had two constitutions - the AoC&PU and the Constitution of 1787. Neither one of them provided for secession; indeed a perpetual union forbade it.

[cr] A union can exist in the absence of a constitution.

Your false claim was that no constitution ever provided for its own destruction.

A constitution for a union with no members is meaningless.

The USSR constitution provided for any or all members to secede at will.
