If your argument is valid, why refer to the Federalist Papers?
Secession is impossible. There is no right of secession in the Constitution. It is not a power that exists for the states. Any states rights are called out, that ain’t one of them.....
The Constitution did not explain how to commit Federal government suicide. Why would it?

Because the Federalist Papers show what the parties - ie the states - were agreeing to at the time.
Secession is the right of each sovereign state. Secession is not forbidden in the constitution and any power not delegated to the federal government is reserved to the states according to the 10th amendment. Your reading of the constitution is exactly backwards. The states predate the constitution. The federal government - which they created - has only the powers they delegated to it and no more. Not vice versa.
