I'd see your point better if the Preamble said "to make a weaker union". But if you start with something perpetual and only make it stronger, it is still perpetual.

What union did VA, NY, NC and RI belong after 21 Jun 1788, until each ratified the Constitution?

an even NICER TRY, but still WRONG!

go read the 10th amendment & see if you find that the RIGHT to SECESSION was EVER given up by the states. the 10th talks about those POWERS CEDED to the central government. one of those ceded powers is NOT secession.

fwiw, i see you as BRAINIER than most of the other DY coven members.
