To: Who is John Galt?
I doubt it...

Nothing to doubt. I read it, the whole ratification. I noted the date. I read the third clause. And?

But can a state be turned out of the Union against their will if the other states choose to end their assocaiation with them?

"Nothing to doubt. I read it, the whole ratification. I noted the date. I read the third clause. And?"

"[C]an a state be turned out of the Union against their will if the other states choose to end their assocaiation [sic] with them?" Your answer (historically speaking ;>) is "yes." The State of Rhode Island was "turned out of" the existing union, and did not become a member of the new union with the majority of States, until they ratified the Constitution on the date specified by their ratification documents.

(And "You're welcome" for the information - which was obviously new to you... ;>)
