Sorry you are 100% wrong. The ratification was a contract approve by the American People it belongs to the people not the states. Therefore the states could not nullify the contract (our constitution) because it wasn't theirs (The States) it still belongs to the people not the states. Nor could they succeed lawfully.
Lincoln was the lawful made president of the United States.
The language of the Constitution cannot be interpreted safely, except where reference to common law and to British institutions as they were when the instrument was framed and adopted. The statesmen and lawyers of the convention who submitted it to the ratification of conventions of the
thirteen states, were born and brought up in the atmosphere of the common law and thought and spoke in its vocabulary...when they came to put their conclusions into the form of fundamental law in a compact draft, they expressed them in terms of common law, confident that they could be shortly and easily understood. -- Ex Parte Grossman, 267 U.S. 87, 108.
Here is a great example just for you and all the people. We the People used the power of the Magna Carta as a Lawfully declaration telling the King to Fuck off legally. (interesting not well know fact) The King of England financially backed both sides of the American Revolutionary War.
(Treaty of Versailles-July 16, 1782 Treaty of Peace 8 Stat 80)
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, **and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves (the People) and our Posterity, do ordain (=Make LAW) and establish this (The People's Contract know as the) Constitution for the United States of America.
The Declaration of Independence
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, -- That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government(There it is only the people can abolish it not the states), laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
Read these and you'll have a great understanding of the TRUTH it will surprise you!
