SORRY, but the AOC expired with the adoption of the Constitution. even if the AOC did make the union "permanent", such a prohibition expired with the Articles.

PITY that you don't know that.

The Articles of Confederation spoke of a perpetual union. The Constitution later made the perpetual union more perfect, not weaker. The Preamble of the Constitution presupposes a preexisting union which in this case was perpetual.
