It is precluded by the nature of the term “constitution” which was the FOUNDATION of the Union and could only be changed by the amendment process.

“It is precluded by the nature of the term “constitution” which was the FOUNDATION of the Union and could only be changed by the amendment process.”

The Constitution is not a suicide pact. By your logic, if a constitutional amendment to make, say, Louisiana a toxic waste dump was introduced, and 40 states ratified it, Louisiana would just have to grin and bear it, and would not have the right to withdraw from the Union. I call bullshit. Seems to me that you are confusing the United States with the former Soviet Union.
