Do people have the right to revolt?
I think that people do have the right to revolt, no matter what. If the people realize that there is a major problem with the government of a country and how it is being run, then they do have the right to trigger reform of the government or overthrow the government and create a new one. However, just because the people have the right to revolt doesn’t necessarily mean that it will actually work. If there is only a small group of people motivated enough to actually revolt, the revolution won’t be all that successful if they don’t have enough followers. In a revolution, there is definitely strength in numbers. The more of the population that supports the revolution, it is more likely to be successful in creating a new government. I think that if most of a population can be swayed to go against the government, they must be going against it for a good reason. If the reason for revolting isn’t necessarily a rational or good reason, not as many people will see it fit to revolt. If the reason isn’t a big reason that affects everyone, there will probably be a good number of people who don’t think it’s worth it to revolt, even if they agree that there is a flaw in the government. People have the right to revolt at all times, but the reason for revolt has to pass the test of the people before the revolution can actually start and possibly end up being successful.
