“...That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

Abraham Lincoln, huh? I suppose you've never heard of the Alien and Sedition Laws of 1798, passed and supported by some of the people who were the most radical anti-government patriots during the Revolution.
