Short answer: that is what the 2nd Amendment was written for, with the Declaration as a guideline. Like I said, the real debate is (or should be if people would quite being deliberately ignorant to support their preconceptions) whether the southern states were justified in violating the agreement they freely entered into, rather than if what they did was "constitutional" or "legal".GL, question about the perpetuality part.
the constitution is a legal binding document that sets up the framework of the federal government assigning a specific set of powers to them from the states, right? So, in your opinion, the states aren't allowed to end their membership in the union, but what happens if the federal government usurps more power than they were given?
Long answer, the people, as much as possible, use their power of vote, voice, and right of redress through the courts. Even the Declaration of Independence advised that taking that road is last result, and only after a "long train of abuses and usurpations". As such, the federal government will not only have to usurp more power than granted, but also significantly abuse those usurped powers before the people (through the states, or as a whole body?) actually revolt to take back their freedoms.
