Yes, I suppose there were states defining treason in their borders, which weakens that point.....

You are inferring from silence that the right of secession was residual. I am inferring that the lack of an overt mechanism in the Constitution implies that there was no right. I do not think invoking Article 10 tips the balance, but leaves it ambiguous. I doubt that all of the states would have understood such a right, so as to take it for granted. Therefore, since it was not, to my knowledge, discussed, I take it that, at best, they avoided the topic as device, and left everyone to his own opinion, without genuine resolution.........
