Sorta like saying that the words of the Preamble: "In order to form a more perfect Union..." would allow of unilateral state secession, huh?

The act of formation of a Union does not prevent i[t]s dissolution.

No one says the Union is not dissoluable. But it can only be desolved by amendment or revolution.

So what happened to the Articles? Was it amended or did a revolution occur? It only took 9 states to create the new union - not 13.
