If anyone tells you that the Declaration of Independence is not part of the law, you can tell them that it was codified as the very first statute passed by the first Congress.
The people have a lawful right to overthrow the government just as the Revolutionaries waged war against the British. Legally, nothing has changed.
I agree. I thought it would be appropriate and relevant to post the portion of the Declaration I did for this thread. Not so much here on Free Republic, but overall, there are quite a few American citizens who should read it, along with the Constitution and the Federalist Papers. The country would be a whole lot better off if they did.....and, sadly, I have absolutely no doubt that many would be reading those documents for the very first time....
