The writers of the United States Constitution saw a time when states may need to form new jurisdictions, other wise why include Article IV Section III. In a kinetic society as ours, change is inevitable if this union is to survive.
We do not need to reinvent our selves as a nation, only reorganize.
Do our present state borders do service or disservice to our nation? I say disservice, are we all not interested in more responsive government, better representation and above all more efficient government.
The next stage in order to form a more perfect union is accession.
A reconstruction 2.0 of our states based on regional similarities, economic, future growth and natural boundaries. If a state has four distinct regions, have the regions disband from the current state model and join with its natural course of growth to regions of its neighboring states.
Our current state borders are a major hindrance; they poorly reflect the changes in the population (voting, economic…) and in general are counterproductive to the nation. The current states are ineffective to handle future crisis (natural and man made) allowing regions to respond to crisis based on mass mutual aid is the future of this country.
States and local governments are the backbone of this nation and the federal government is to be subservient to the states.
A better organized Union of States would reduce the national debt, reduce to size of the Federal Government, be a better use of taxes collected and distributed, instill ownership and participation in the citizenry. And shake up the stagnation of our current two party systems, as well as infuse the nation with vitality, fresh new political blood and new ideas.
A national referendum to re-border the entire country would be quite a daunting task, although the creation of a new nation must have been even more complex.
