The post below this one is also taken from this article on "natural right."
...About four years ago, I was finishing a small book, the centerpiece of which was an article I had already published. The new material consisted of a shortish defense/explanation of the classical idea of “natural right”—that is, the doctrine or assertion that good and evil, right and wrong, just and unjust, legitimate and illegitimate, etc.—exist by nature and are not mere products of human will or preference. This idea undergirds not merely the regime of the American founders and the very idea of “human rights,” but also the entire notion that anything political can be good or bad, right or wrong....
That "natural right" includes the right to revolution, made obvious by 1776.
The NeverTrump rump bunch doesn't like the right to revolution, as they might get a hangnail or a bloody nose or something.
Too bad. There is that right--which should NEVER be mis-used--but it's part and parcel of the law of Nature and Nature's God.
