"Question: Is suggesting a revolution a threat?"

Actually it is...any attempt to overthrow the government is considered a threat.

King George didn't like it, that's for sure.

"Actually it is...any attempt to overthrow the government is considered a threat."

At the birth of the nation, New York and Rhode Island both asserted the right of the people to reassume the powers held by the government should they ever be abused. New Hampshire's state Constitution contains this:

"[Art.] 10. [Right of Revolution.] Government being instituted for the common benefit, protection, and security, of the whole community, and not for the private interest or emolument of any one man, family, or class of men; therefore, whenever the ends of government are perverted, and public liberty manifestly endangered, and all other means of redress are ineffectual, the people may, and of right ought to reform the old, or establish a new government. The doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power, and oppression, is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind."[Emph mine]
