The exercise of armed force, separated from simple gun ownership, defines sovereignty and is strictly the business of government. No State can tolerate within its boundaries a rival armed sovereignty and ensure the validity of its laws, the safety of its citizens, or even its own survival. We create a democratic constitutional State to put he exercise of armed force under the rule of law where it is restrained and accountable to the people through democratic processes. The other choices are anarchy and despotism. A revolutionary right is a moral right not a constitutional right.
Constitutional rights are legal rights defined in law protected by an independent judiciary.
The signers of the Declaration of Independence exercised a moral right. They knew they were also signing a declaration of war and if they failed in their revolutionary project they would all be hanged. When it came to writing a constitution they had a different purpose. The Constitution is a declaration of governance. Article VI requires all state and federal legislative, executive and judicial officers to take an oath to support the Constitution.
