Good morning. I see this thread has generated some interest.

Imho, the Declaration of Independence, and the U.S. Constitution are the founding documents of this great nation. So, with out further adieu...

In a nation of laws, when someone asks, “Do states have a right to secede from the Union?”, a proper answer would have one of two forms:

•“Yes, because x.”

X=the entire first paragraph of the Declaration of Independence. X=the Ninth and Tenth amendments (Causes for separation). And finally, X=Article IV, Section 4, first paragraph (Does anyone think we now have a Republican form of government?).

Doesn't the great state of Texas have a clause in their constitution regarding secession?
