After more than 240 years and countless changes in our world, do Americans still have the right of revolution? Americans did not renounce the right of revolution, so yes.

Is it in the Constitution? Yes the declaration of independence states "when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government"

Even after all these years after the war that our founding fathers fought so hard in, we still are not at peace. I believe in our time another revolution will rise against our corrupt government. If not us, you can be sure those third world countries will and we will follow suit. It is the way the world has worked from the beginning and how it will end. So yes Americans and all other nations have the right to stand up to for their rights and freedoms. Even if that means starting another revolution to achieve it.

There will come a time when we have had enough and we will fight back. If they could do it then we could do it now, if not better. We have just as much a right to fight for our rights and civil liberties as they did. The least we can do is owe it to them for fights for what's right. That we can be sure of no matter what is at stake.
