To answer this question, we need to look at the Declaration of Independence. In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson wrote that the people have certain rights that can’t be taken away or given up. These rights, called the unalienable rights, are the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The Declaration of Independence went on to say that the job of the government is to protect the rights of the people.
In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson outlined a scenario where it would be acceptable for the people to rebel against the government. If the government abused its powers and didn’t protect the rights of the people, the people had no choice but to rebel and replace that government with a new government that would protect their rights. Since the colonists believed that the king had abused his power and that the British government was infringing on their rights, the colonists needed to rebel and become independent.
Thus, there is a time when people would be justified for rebelling against the government.
