"It is Their Right, It is Their Duty, To Throw Off Such Government..."
"It is Their Right, It is Their Duty, To Throw Off Such Government, and to provide new guards for their future security."
Jefferson wrote that into the Declaration of Independence. He was describing what people should do if their government kept doing repeated actions that took away freedom; especially when that government made it clear that they were dloing it as part of a deliberate plan.
And the Declaration was voted unanimously into law, on July 4, 1776. And remains legally binding, just as any other laws passed then or since.
Overthrowing an oppressive government, isn't just a good idea. It's the LAW.
"The social contract exists so that everyone doesn’t have to squat in the dust holding a spear to protect his woman and his meat all day every day. It does not exist so that the government can take your spear, your meat, and your woman because it knows better what to do with them." - Instapundit.com
