The desire for a national government was rejected outright.
The desire for a General Government which we call a "National" Government arose as early as The Albany Plan of Union in 1754 submitted by the colonies to the King. That desire grew althrough the rest of that century. American was a beloved and almost universally our people considered themselves "Americans".
It is only after the Southern slaveowners degenerated from those who knew it was an Evil to those who praised it as a Good that the pernicious and false doctrine of state sovereignty grew to Traitorous proportions and unleashed the insanity of war upon the Nation.
No one who wrote the Constitution believed the tenth amendment involved ANYTHING but local issues and regulations. It did not allow any "resumption" of a sovereignty which never existed in any case. There was no need to encumber the Constitution with permission to do something so momentous as secession when even far less dangerous things to the Union were explicitly forbidden states.
That would be like claiming it is illegal to assault someone but not to kill them.
