Article 1 section 9:’’ The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended , unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it’’. The South rebelled, violently to secede.

Try again. Article 1 Section DOES NOT say secession was unconstitutional. Secession is not rebellion. Rebellion is an act to overthrow the government. The Southern states did not want to overthrow the federal government. They wanted to be free and left alone to determine their own destiny. The American Revolution was far more a rebellion than was the “Civil War.”

No - The Southern States voted in their State Congresses to secede.
