P.S. Look up sometime, if you haven’t already, the influence of the Magna Carta on the Declaration of Independence.

Magna Carta was push back by those who inherited land doled out by William the Conqueror to his fellow warriors. They were sick of king John’s abuse and demands for money.

They’ve been fighting off these “kings” and “royals” for centuries.

And they still have kings and queens.

Yeah, i'd really like to see the section in the Magna Carta that says "Overthrow the King." Now where was that section again?

The Declaration is entirely the result of Vattel. For that matter, the entire revolution would not have happened but for Vattel. It was started by James Otis,

John Adams and Thomas Hutchinson, the Crown-appointed governor of Massachusetts between 1771 and 1774, agreed on at least one point: the story of the American Revolution began with James Otis, Jr. Fifty years after Otis delivered a blistering attack on the British use of Writs of Assistance (general search warrants), Adams wrote, "Then and there the child Independence was born."

and Vattel was his inspiration.

Oh, and let us not forget Otis' understanding of the Law regarding Natural born Subject.
