The right to secede predates the US Constitution. Heck, the US was created by an act of secession.

I'd like nothing better than to say that Texas has the right to secede. But no treaty with the US government ever acknowledged that right, and the court decisions in this country basically say states have no right to secede. And I'll point out that the US was created by an act of secession and a war.
