States already tried to walk out once, and it didn't go so well.
A fundamental problem of catering to minority opinions is that if a minority shrinks it tends to become more and more strident to the point where it can no longer compromise, but they still maintain power due to the way the system is set up. This leads to highly polarized and dysfunctional political systems.
Plus, if there is a danger that a minority might feel disenfranchised and want to leave, what happens when a majority feels the same way?
