There is absolutely nothing in the US Constitution either allowing or not allowing secession. The US Constitution is totally silent on the issue.

What about the ninth and tenth amendments?

Don’t they cover this area. Powers not delegated are reserved by the states. Since the states had the power to enter, the power to exit exists, and it was not explicitly delegated to the federal government. So, the power to exit the union is retained by the States.
