Please provide one statement, just one, from a Founding Father stating that the Constitution permits secession.
None: In the Constitution
Show me anything in the Constitution where secession is prohibited. You can't because it doesn't exist. However, Virginia's State Constitution, which was written largely by Thomas Jefferson, stated that Virginia retained that right, as well as the document ratifying the Constitution of the US. Other states, such as New Jersey, also stated that they retained said right.
SECESSION is just ONE of the many RIGHTS which were NOT ceded to the central government!
FACT!
it would help if the DYs on these threads KNEW the FACTS. sadly, most of you DON'T have a clue.
