No, but I'm saying they have the right to take up arms.

Does it necessarily have to be "take up arms"? Can it not be "file a
case" or something like that?

The USA was founded by lawbreakers who rebelled against the sovereign
government of the country.

And so is the current Philippines... a bunch of lawbreakers who
rebelled against the sovereign government of the country... repeated
many times.

I was in the military not just ROTC.

So you should know that in the military, the commander is always right.

Nope, civilians are also required to follow the law of the land as
citizens. They have no more right to rebel against the govt than do
soldiers.

I meant to say they didn't have to follow rule number 2.

You "entrust" them only to a certain extent. Once they violate that
trust, you have the right to take up arms against them.

Once they violate that trust, you have the right to file complaints
with the Ombudsman or charge them in court.

There is no one-sided contract between the people and the govt.

True. We have the right to make use of the Institutions provided by the
Constitution to settle our problems.
