Original Note:
Unilateral secession has been consistently ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, as in Texas v. White 74 U.S. 700 {1868}, which averred that the Union is “perpetual.” But that ruling also observed that the consent of the States could lead to a legal secession. https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/74/700
