“But there is no dispute that secession is allowed if you amend the constitution to allow it.”
There is no right enumerated in the U.S. Constitution to allow a state to secede, just as the Constitution does not give the states the right to allow the sale of cherry infused Dr. Pepper.
The founders didn’t set up our country that way.
To find intent of the founders, read the Constitution including the Bill of Rights and pay attention to amendments 9 and 10.
That’s why you’d need to amend it.
Can you post the part of the US Constituion that prohibits secession. I’ll wait.
Had there been a clause prohibiting secession the Constitution would have never been ratified.
