“Perhaps you should have your tracks checked.”

That contributes nothing to the discussion.

“LOL! Don’t tell me you haven’t ever heard of irreconcilable differences.”

Don’t tell me you’ve never heard of “Till death do us part.”
What about “in sickness and in health”? What about “Forsaking all others”. Or maybe it’s just that if the contract can be broken at will, the terms don’t really matter.

As to “irreconcilable differences”, that’s a cultural/societal thing. In our larger society you can end a marriage due to irreconcilable differences, but you can’t necessarily just unilaterally leave it, not legally anyway. The other party may be due a penalty or a share of the goods, and the legal nits have to be taken care of. A lot depends on the law of the State you’re in.

Since your only contribution to the discussion has been to tell me how wrong I am.....

consider us even.

Were the people regarded in this transaction as forming one nation, the will of the majority of the whole people of the United States, would bind the minority; in the same manner as the majority in each State must bind the minority; and the will of the majority must be determined either by a comparison of the individual votes; or by considering the will of a majority of the States, as evidence of the will of a majority of the people of the United States. Neither of these rules has been adopted. Each State in ratifying the Constitution, is considered as a sovereign body independent of all others, and only to be bound by its own voluntary act. In this relation then the new Constitution will, if established, be a federal and not a national Constitution.

BTW_

You assume all parties are equal in the Compact, but the Constitution isn't about equal parties, its about equal parties agreeing to create a third, lesser party with limited authority.

It's like your saying 2 people married and created a child, and the child gets to run the show! LOL!

If you want to play the scenario game.....

Trying to prevent the South from leaving the compact after their Notice was duly given because of some idea the other parties are owed without that stipulation being in the Contract in the first place....

is like saying you invited a bunch of people to your house for dinner and then called the cops when they tried to leave before paying for the meal.
