“If our fore fathers were told once you joined the Union, you could never leave it, do you think they would have joined?”

It’s not a suicide pact. And if they intended for it to be irrevocable, they would have said so.

Thank God for that.

And if they intended for it to be irrevocable, they would have said so.

Article XIII from the Articles of Confederation:

Every State shall abide by the determination of the United States in Congress assembled, on all questions which by this confederation are submitted to them. And the Articles of this Confederation shall be inviolably observed by every State, and the Union shall be perpetual; nor shall any alteration at any time hereafter be made in any of them; unless such alteration be agreed to in a Congress of the United States, and be afterwards confirmed by the legislatures of every State.
