[4CJ]

The judicial power of the United States rests in the Supreme Court, not the Federalist Papers.

So, the legislative power of the US rests in Congress, but that doesn't change the fact that he wrote, 'the confederacy may be dissolved, and the confederates preserve their sovereignty.'

Just as an aside, the Federalist Papers are frequently mentioned in SCOTUS decisions.

"...that doesn't change the fact that he wrote, 'the confederacy may be dissolved, and the confederates preserve their sovereignty.'

You can write the same thing, and you'll get slam dunked by the federal government too.

None of the framers thought there was a -legal- right to end the compact.
