Of course they did not have that right. No of course about it. The constitution itself doesn't address the issue. The constitution is an agreement among the states who where formerly sovereign. If that was not the case it would be reasonable to conclude that cessesion is only allowed if it is explicitly mentioned. But since the states formed the federal government and where not the creation of it, and where sovereign until they agreed to ban together the issue is ambiguous. Nonetheless, they did not have the right to secede...there is no law or no paragraph in the Constitution that gives a state the right to secede. ted
