It has now been almost a week. Where are the explicit statements from the Founders about a legal right of secession?
Perhaps you want more time.
That's OK, but I do expect an answer at the end of the day.

I forwarded your query to two scholars of that period. Neither has responded yet. I do not have a lot of spare time for FR projects right now; I plan to let this remain in suspense for at least a week to see if either responds and then ask a second time.
