That's kinda what a colony is when you think about it. A colony that can refuse the colonial overlords is.... well.... not a colony ๐Ÿคฃ.

The whole concept is revolting.

Colonies do lead to revolutions in most cases, yes.

In most cases a colony depends on the colonial overlords for stuff. When the colony no longer needs the colonial overlords, if they're better off than the colonial overlords (like the American colonies were), they frequently then demand independence.
