The Question of Secession Under the United States
A historical analysis argues that secession is not a constitutional right. It states that sovereignty was surrendered when forming a union, and that the Constitution binds all states as a single nation rather than a loose league. The people, not individual states, elect the President and Congress, and the Union permits no unilateral dissolution.

We will not dissolve this American Union
As chief judge of our country I warn you against the scheme of insurrection and treason. You have been misled by claims that opposition to the tariff is patriotic and constitutional. Look to the broader nation, its unity, and the risks of disunion before you cast away the blessings of union for a doomed separate independence.
