laws are not made for revolution. Its more by having a policty of violating the consitution takes away an legitamacy a government has. The USA came into being with ratification of the constitution and if its not being followed it effectively does not exist. Now the declaration of independence basic is an outline of when its ok to revolt which is really a list of stuff the bill of rights does not allow. The bill of rights pretty much comes from the greivences in the declaration of independence.
