[quote]I would like to know if a right to secede from the Union is explicitly stated in this Constitution.

I'm curous about that as well. Blood may spill if this is a "grey" area. Can you imagine the EU telling The United Kingdom that it CAN'T leave if it wanted to?
Yes it does. It says that it will take a unaminous vote of all members to allow a country to secede.
