The Constitution is good in many ways, but it really should have had an “escape clause” or else a flat statement that no state can ever leave. Either way. The Founders gave us a way to Amend the articles but no way to reduce the membership in the union. To me, that was a major mistake.
Imagine how things would have turned out if the Founding Fathers had put a specific paragraph in the Constitution as to whether slavery was legal, or illegal .
