f you think that someone with whom you have a contract is violating that contract, you take your issue to that party for
redress. If you can't get satisfaction, you go to some entity with the authority to decide such matters.


But in this case, the only entity with the authority to decide such matters is the party who I believe is violating the contract. There IS no objective disute resolver here.

The necessary consequence of what you are saying is that the revolutionaries were wrong and should not have broken away from Britain. That the principle enunciated in the Declaration of Independence that at certain times people have the right to break political bonds is wrong.

I happen to disagree with you on these points. I think they had a right to do what they did, and were right to do it. Even though it was a revolt against the lawfully established authority.
