Quote: If you go through the entire linked document entitled Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union to where that document is signed, then you will see that authorized signatories bound each of the states, including South Carolina to the Union in perpetuity.
No place in that statement do the words remove the right of the state to withdraw from the union. The states would have never even ratified this document if it stated this.
