The right to rebel is guaranteed.

The right to rebel comes from the Declaration of Independence, which the Confederacy rejected.

But, even with the right, one must have a reason to rebel.

It is part of securing a "free state" as the 2nd amendment states. The "right to invade a dissenting opinion" is NOT.

A right to put down a insurrection (rebellion) is stated as right in the Constitution.

"But, even with the right, one must have a reason to rebel."

This, I think, is the essence of our arguement.


So I propose this question:

Where is it stated in law, that one must have a reason for rebelion recognized by the oppressing party?





"The right to rebel comes from the Declaration of Independence, which the Confederacy rejected. "

Wrong, they left the Union. They accepted the Declaration. They rejected the Union's interpretation of the law.
