If one state has a right, all the others in the union share that right. Rhode Island and Virginia made provisions for backing out, so any other state can as well.

Not unless the Constitution allows for it. As I've said on many occasions, I believe that all states have the right to secede with the consent of the other states. No state has the right to secede unilaterally. Regardless of what their rarification document says.
