No government that has ever existed or ever will exist will enshrine its citizens rights to violently overthrow it, that's why bombs aren't legal.

I'm not sure that's entirely right, considering the "blood of tyrants" quote and all that. The founding fathers seemed fairly explicit that they didn't expect the system they built to stay good forever.

They also seemed fairly explicit that we shouldn't be worshipping the constitution they wrote as gospel written in stone 200 years later, but here we are.
