None of the answers are correct. We fought a Civil War about succession. Once a State is part of the Union it is always a part of the Union. There is a procedure to enter but none to leave the Union. However, Texas can divide itself into 5 different States I believe based upon its original admittance to the Union. The 10th Amendment address what powers the Federal Government has, which the States have and what is up to the Citizens.
The Federal Government has been violating the 10th Amendment for years as have many States. Article 1, Section 8 and several other Amendments detail what power the Federal Government has. It may not do anything else. Everyone should get a copy of the US Constitution and read it and then compare what the Federal Government is doing with the list of powers the Federal Government is doing. Most of what the Federal Government is doing is unconstitutional. And many of the States are violating the restrictions as well.
The US Constitution is not a "living" document that can be redefined when what the text states is inconvenient. It is because people have been doing this for more than 100 years we have the current problems. The US Constitution is a BLUEPRINT for a Representative Government.

Image building a deck, house, boat, ship, bridge or building using the blueprints as a "living document" that can be changed at the whim of the people building it. It would be a disaster - the structure would collapse or boat/ship sink. We need to get back to the BLUEPRINT and follow it. The Founding Father's wrote an excellent document that if followed will give us just the amount of Government we need and no more.
Also, remember, it was "Progressives", like Hillary Clinton claims she is, that gave us the disaster of "prohibition" in the form of the 18th Amendment. "Progressives" are the same thing we call Socialist, Marxists and Liberals today. Look past the pretty names, such as "Progressive", and look at what they did, actually stand for and support. And then ask yourself do you really want to go down that route? It was Progressives that support eugenics, euthanasia and forced sterilizing of "undesirables". The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment was type of things progressive believed in. The founder of Planned Parenthood was also a eugenics and racist. It is important to remember that "Progressive" have no problem re-writing history. Just look at how the history of the fall of the USSR is being re-written. Apparently, Gorbachev is being given credit today even though Ronald Regan refusal to keep giving in to the USSR is what forced the USSR to real reform which lead to the elimination of the USSR. Gorbachev was the fourth USSR dictator Regan dealt with.
Everyone should get a copy of the US Constitution, the Article of Confederation (preceded the US Constitution) , their State Constitution and the Declaration of Independence and read them. What they state may shock you - especially in light of what is going on today.

What's that spell?
The 10th amendment gives the state sovereignty and the FEDERAL govt LIMITED power. The federal govt as per the Constitution, only has power that is NOT delegated to the states. Meaning the power is to the states, and anything not specifically designated would default to the federal govt. The founders thought it was best if the power was local, and the reps would be held accountable. The federal govt was to have very limited power.
What we have today is not in accordance with the Constitution and is a violation. The fed govt is totally out of control and not within its designated Constitutional power.
The states are AFFIRMING their sovereignty, which is not the same as seccession. The sovereignty affirmation is to enforce the states rights in accordance with the Constitution and stop the fed govt from forcing itself upon the states.
The Tenth Amendment, which makes explicit the idea that the federal government is limited only to the powers granted in the Constitution is generally recognized to be a truism. In United States v. Sprague (1931) the Supreme Court noted that the amendment "added nothing to the [Constitution] as originally ratified."
From time to time states and local governments have attempted to assert exemption from various federal regulations, especially in the areas of labor and environmental controls, using the Tenth Amendment as a basis for their claim. An often-repeated quote, from United States v. Darby, 312 U.S. 100, 124 (1941), reads as follows:

The amendment states but a truism that all is retained which has not been surrendered. There is nothing in the history of its adoption to suggest that it was more than declaratory of the relationship between the national and state governments as it had been established by the Constitution before the amendment or that its purpose was other than to allay fears that the new national government might seek to exercise powers not granted, and that the states might not be able to exercise fully their reserved powers.
