precisely what Hamilton feared

Hamilton was for limited, enumerated powers and yet the full POWER to see tham through. The Preample is CLEAR: "To form a more perfect Union". That means divorce -- secession -- is a impossibility, except by amendment to the Constitution itself.

Dude, you've gone way, way, way off the deep end.

If the founders had wanted the preamble to say that, they would have written something along the lines of to form a more perfect Union, which, as a requirement of Its perfection, is necessarily indissoluble for all eternity...

But, of course, they wrote no such thing.

Exactly right. Expect attacks watch your ankles. With the "right" of secession the constitution is meaningless.
