Are you suggesting that these conditions somehow confer a right to unilateral state secession under U.S. law?

I'm not suggesting it - the founders are the ones who reserved that right.  And there's nothing unilateral about it - they gave notice in their ratification agreements that it could be exercised..  But if you disagree, please cite the statute in US Code that explicitly prohibits secession.  Pardon me if I don't hold my breath - if it's like your concept of treason, I already know you're wrong.

But you don't bother to name one of them.

I've asked this before.

fifty-fve men were delegates at the constitutional convention.

Name one of them that supported the right to unilateral secession.
