well, jefferson wrote in 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... that governments are instituted among men... deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed... " as justification for the secession of the colonies from the british empire and the creation of a new state.\n\npresumably the same considerations applied to the people of the southern states and their wish to dissolve the political bands which connected them to the republic, especially as when jefferson continued "whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and institute new government... it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government".\n\nseems pretty reasonable to secede from a union based on principles graven in the very document which formed that union.

James Madison drafted several of the Articles of Federation.  These were, in essence, argumentative papers which were meant to persuade people that the constitution and bill of rights were an integral part of a free nation.  These articles were published and distributed in the colonies. Therefore, James Madison was instrumental in getting the constitution ratified, along with the bill of rights.

Thomas Jefferson (April 13, 1743 N.S. – July 4, 1826) was the third President of the United States (1801–1809), principal author of the Declaration of Independence (1776), and one of the most influential founders of the United States. Major events during his presidency include the Louisiana Purchase (1803), the Embargo Act of 1807, and the Lewis and Clark Expedition (1804–1806).\n\nA political philosopher who promoted classical liberalism, republicanism, and the separation of church and state, he was the author of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom (1779, 1786), which was the basis of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. He was the eponym of Jeffersonian democracy and the founder and leader of the Democratic-Republican Party which dominated American politics for over a quarter-century and was the precursor to today's Democratic Party. Jefferson also served as the second Governor of Virginia (1779–1781), first United States Secretary of State (1789–1793), and second Vice President (1797–1801).

James Monroe (who wrote the Constitution):\n"The government of the United States is a definite government, confined to specified objects. It is not like state governments, whose powers are more general. Charity is no part of the legislative duty of the government."\n\nOr Grover Cleveland: \n"I feel obliged to withhold my approval of the plan to indulge in benevolent and charitable sentiment through the appropriation of public funds. ... I find no warrant for such an appropriation in the Constitution."
