“Secessions may reduce the number to the smallest intergar admitting combination. They would remain under the same principles and regulations among themselves that now apply to the whole. For a state cannot be compelled by other states to withdraw from the Union, and therefore, if two or more determine to remain united, although all the others desert them, nothing can be discovered in the Constitution to prevent it.” * Source: A View of the Constitution of the United States of America by: William Rawle
