That's funny since most of the people who wrote or had a hand in the making of the Constitution had no problem with secession since they just did it themselves.

The colonies didn't secede from England. They revolted against it. The Declaration of Independence makes no claim of their action being legal under British law. It does, however, talk about Natural Rights, of " the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God."
