More perfect than the one under the Articles, one that was voluntary instead of mandatory. Sheesh Poohbah how more perfect will a union be when members of the union know they have the right to leave when their concerns aren't being met? At least that's how northerners saw it in 1814. Or are we not supposed to compare Southerners to the all but out in the open northern secessionist states of 1814?

And how did the Southron states answer the calls for secession? Calhoun and company made it quite clear that any attempt at secession would be put down by force.

Oops. Looks like I let the cat out of the bag.
