The entire reason the Constitution was written was to strengthen the Union and reduce the power of the states. Since the Union was already declared perpetual under the Articles and the CC was called to strengthen that Union what kind of sense would it make to allow secession when that would fly in the face of the intent of the rewriting in the first place?
Our Union would hardly have been made "more perfect" by weakening it by allowing secession.
Maybe because they CHOSE not prohibit secession? As I have already said several times, if they wanted a prohibition on secession in the document they would have PUT a prohibition against secession in the document.
What do you mean?
Wouldn't the Union be "more perfect" if "Taxachusetts" seceded and the Ted and John show disappeared forever? :^)
