Congressional approval is required for a state to be admitted in the first place. Once admitted, congressional approval is required to combine two states or split a state into parts. Congressional approval is required to change the border of a state by a fraction of an inch. Implied in this is the need for congressional approval to leave since approval is needed for every other change in status.
States cannot, without consent of Congress, lay duties on imports from states. They cannot cut off water from states, form agreements or compacts against states, refuse to recognize a state's acts or proceedings, refuse to turn over criminals wanted in other states, form alliances, raise armies, all actions which, if done unilaterally, can have a negative impact on the interests of other states. If they cannot do them unilaterally while a part of the U.S. then implied in that is that they lack the power to do so merely by leaving as well.

You lost me. A State leaves the nation. Now as an independent country it cannot lay duties on imports from other countries?
Not “implied”, the word that describes it is “imagined”.
It wasn’t mentioned because it didn’t exist. There was no implication, only imagination by greedy collectivists following a philosophy which continues to be a problem today.
