He quoted the 10th Amendment basically.
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
The power to grant to prevent secession is not granted by the constitution to the federal government, not does the constitution prevent the states from doing so. Therefore, according to the constitution, the states have the right to secede.
