Then ask yourself a very simple question: what changed between those early days of the USA and the current powers that states have?
What changed was the the states ****canned the articles and entered into a new compact in which the delegated more powers to the federation.
What’s your point? Sovereign states leave and enter various treaties and compacts all the time. However, they still remain sovereign.
Are you taking the position that what you call international law is superior in authority to the US Constitution?
Nope. I’m saying that the states were and are sovereign, and they created the federal government through a voluntary compact. Since the compact places no restrictions on exit and has no specific time limit, international law and historical precedent would indicate that any of the states may exit when they wish.
