I’m pretty sure that King George didn’t believe we had that right. And no standing government believes in the right to revolt. Even here in the U.S. there are laws against plotting the overthrow of the government.

“I’m pretty sure that King George didn’t believe we had that right.”

Of course, but I’m looking for someone who has actively spoken out against the idea. I can find several instances of people being for the right, but I can’t find specific writings by detractors.

I think the professor gave a really difficult question.

Even chronologically, as well as from a governing authority, that is a really good answer. King George.

It could be easy to get into the weeds with some individual examples of ideological vs. governing “rights” to revolt or not to revolt.
