A Russian (?) troll responded to a recent Facebook comment where I made reference at the end of my comment making reference to the rights of self-defense and rebellion implicitly recognized in the Second Amendment. Paraphrased, he said "You don't seem to know your stupid Constitution very well, do you? It talks about suppressing insurrections, etc." Well, I was referring to natural rights, not legally-conferred "rights". Each government, of course, refuses to acknowledge the legitimacy of its opposition. The Bill of Rights did not "create" the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and property; it simply provided a Constitutional context for their recognition. Even Founding Father Thomas Jefferson recognized the right of rebellion when he famously wrote :
God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. [i.e., Shays']...What country before ever existed a century & half without a rebellion? & what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon & pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants.
