Well, I realized it was a restatement of the Declaration Of Independence, but I am a Libertarian, so it seemed natural that someone would discuss things in these terms. If you have read other similar documents for other countries you will find they are all so close it could be a restatement of almost any of them.
Keep in mind that everyone who signed the original document was sure they would all hang before all was said and done. Some of them did not survive the war.
Look further into the following list of US interrnal conflicts and you will quickly realize it is best to wait until things get really bad.
Shays Rebellion
Whiskey Rebellion
John Brown's Raid
innumerable slave rebellions
Civil War
Utah War
Athens, Tennessee uprising
Indian Wars
and dozens of others in US history. In most cases leaders and most others died.
