Yes. Ever hear of a document called the Constitution?

The governing document which came after the Articles of Confederation? The one that implicitly accepts slavery? The one who's authority derives from ratifying legislatures rather than God and Nature?

Yeah, what of it? The Declaration trumps it. It is the Declaration that created this country. The Constitution is just the outline for governing it.

Does it now?

It is the Declaration that created this country. The Constitution is just the outline for governing it.

And part of that governing includes the power to call up the militia to suppress rebellions. Like the Southern one in 1861.
