I have said it often on this forum, but it bears repeating:

In our Constitutional Republic, there are two necessary conditions to be met by which we consent to being governed:

  1. We are allowed to choose who governs us by FREE and FAIR elections.

  2. Those we choose to govern us must be bound to the same laws, and subject to the same penalties for violation of them.

That's it. It really is that simple. If these two conditions are not met, our government is illegitimate under our Constitutional Republic and we are not morally nor legally bound to be governed by it.

I will admit that, as flagrant as it is, it does seem intentionally done in order to foster rebellion which in their eyes, can justifiably be put down with the harshest, unconstitutional measures.

Patriots have begun to look at the famous first line of the Declaration of Independence less as text in an old poster on a wall, and more as a guide to a restoration of freedom:

"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation"

Were I to emulate our forefathers, other parts of our declaration might sound like this:

It has refused its Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

It has conspired to alter election outcomes to conform to their desires.

For abolishing the free System of American Laws throughout the country legally passed by our Constitutional guidelines, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries into the states so as to render them at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute federal rule into these states

It has constrained our fellow Citizens held captive in enemy enclaves to bear Arms against violent aggressors, to become the passive executioners of their own selves or to fall themselves by their Hands. It has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our cities, the merciless inner cities savages in alliance with ideologic enemies of this country, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

I would add a third item to your list, “the just powers of representative government flows from informed cinsent of the governed”. When all the alphabet agencies lie to the general public about nearly everything, and when they censor people as spreading “malinformation”, or for any reason, the one can’t in principle have informed consent, so one can’t in principle have legitiment government power. The exceptions government agents have to lie to the public need to be very sharply curtailed.
