There are no minor parts of the Constitution, only minor interpretations of it.
I'm curious where it states that a State has the right to make a treaty? Article II says the Executive branch of the Federal Government has that power (pending ratification by the senate).
The US Constitution... its an awesome thing to discuss and debate.
