Methinks you have opened a can of worms with this thread.
I believe the first paragraph of the Declaration of Independence, and Article IV section 4 of the Constitution (e.g. Republican form of government), gives the states a right to seceded from the Union. Unfortunately, it didn't go well the first time.
Article V (convention) would open a big can of worms, although in my opinion would probably fail, and begin a process which would lead to CWII.
Methinks the ballot box is much more preferable to the cartridge box. I'm getting to old to hump ammo.
