So you're arguing that James Madison didn't understand the Constitution. But you do.
Can you understand why a rational person might be a little skeptical of your assertion? Especially given the perfect record of failure your claims have garnered in every court to hear them?
I'm arguing that the powers not prohibited to the states are retained by the states. The power to leave the union isn't prohibited, thus it is retained and may be exercised at will.
You're arguing that the single party has the authority to modify the compact. I and James Madison argue that the parties to the constitution are required to do so, and that the single party is bound to the compact.
What's more likely.....that James Madison doesn't understand how the constitution is supposed to work?
Or that you don't?
