The constitutional issue the Civil War resolve was the right of an individual state to unilaterally legally secede from the United States. While there is still some ambiguity around the constitutionality of allowing a state to secede with the permission of the federal government, it is now final legal precedent that unilateral secession by a state is unconstitutional. It is also resolved the issue around final sovereignty in the U.S. - that is, ultimate sovereignty in the U.S. is held at the Federal level, not at the State level. Thus, it answered the question that the United States was a single sovereign nation (a Federation), and not a conglomerate of sovereign states (a Confederation).
