[Hebrews 11:6]

What Scripture do you believe supports those claims?

Excellent question, one worthy of an essay exam in a Christian college's American History or Logic course. The "B" and "C" students would attempt to answer it, whereas the "A" students would spot the trap and throw it back into the professor's face, thusly:

They claimed it was "self-evident," thus requiring no Scriptural support. That puts the burden back onto those challenging their decision, to prove, either self-evidently or from Scripture, that liberty is not a God-given unalienable right and that they do not have the right to throw off a despot's rule.

Works for me---it's self-evident that a ruler attempting to usurp an individual's stewardship rights over his own body is not acting as God's servant and need not be obeyed.

And the professor would throw it right back at them noting that there is nothing that precludes a "self evident truth" from being supported by the scriptures.
