Ok, what assassination and what about it.
If everyone agreed to the reforming of a state then that state could reform, however unlikely that may be.
Our forefathers made their opinion on secession, quite clear, in the Declaration of Independence, of the United States.

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

It might take blood shed, as did the revolution, But, if the federal government got out of hand, then that is exactly what would happen and our forefathers made sure, with the second amendment, that we would have the means to do so if needed.
We haven't got that far yet, so don't worry about it.
The talk of secession is to try and communicate the displeasure the American people have with a government that no longer listens to them.
The other thing is, that states have realized that they are to dependant on the federal government, so individual states talking about secession are looking to see how they can reduce their dependency on the federal government. They can do that without actually seceding.
