Yes, it does it states that the constitution can only be changed by the amendment mechanism not by individual states.

Certainly any state that ratified the constitution could not change that ratification. Other states were admitted to the Union by adhering to and adopting the constitution.

Any state law withdrawing from the Union was automatically unconstitution.
