If you read the writings of the anti-federalists, most of their complaints and predictions about the Constitution and how it threatened state sovereignty have come to fruition.

I sure like Walter E. Williams. If the states voluntarily came together, then there is no reason why they cannot voluntarily withdraw.

Federal, state, local, and FICA taxes; upwards of 40% of your income.
Gas, cigarette, sales and consumption taxes; you know the story.
Work permits, building permits, drivers license, compulsory insurance; it goes on and on.
Getting the federal, state and local governments out of our pockets and off our backs? Priceless :)

One wonders whether the brutality witnessed in 1861 would be repeated if New Hampshire seceded - massive troops along with today's deadly modern military equipment and Americans killing Americans. If probably would if New Hampshire shelled U.S. troops in a U.S. facility on her way out.

Those which are to remain in the State Governments are numerous and indefinite.
The former (powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the Federal Government, few and defined) will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will for the most part be connected.

In all this there is no mention of purging or expelling a state. How doe the nation rid itsself of a state that is no longer fit for the union?
