I like the next part, too. Particularly relevant to this discussion.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But 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, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

True; however I would say that the level of entrenched corruption, the level of 'deeming' things that are contraconstitutional to be constitutional, the sheer magnitude of the I'm/we're the authority; so we must be (a) good, (b) worthy, (c) obeyed mentality bar it from being a light and transient cause.

I agree. It's why I posted the rest of the quote.
