It is not a unilateral breach of contract if the basis under which one  party 
terminates the agreement has been accepted previously by the other  party.  
That is known as an option, and Virginia reserved the option to opt  out of the 
Union should its state delegation vote to do so.

It is  never possible to unilaterally break a contract or agreement. This is  
especially true with a Constitution.  If Va. wanted out Va. need to get a  
Constitutional Amendment or at least an act of Congress to end the  
relationship.  If one party wants out of a marriage there is an  obligation to go get a 
divorce; not simply take whatever property he/she can  grab and walk out the 
door and say Ihave divorced you by my own  fiat.
