State secession is not unconstitutional.

And neither is it constitutional. It’s a damn shame the Founders were silent on this issue.

Side note: I believe that state secession should be allowed. It should be a long and involved process, taking perhaps a decade. But it should be allowed. However, the Constitution says nothing about this. So such matters are decided by the bayonet.

It’s also not constitutional. In fact the constitution says nothing about how stares leave the Union. It does talk about how they join, with the permission of congress.
It also states that the constitution is the supreme law of the land.
