""Subordination and obedience" comes with the new government, or else all is lost because laws would be meaningless and unenforceable."

Unless the following is fulfilled:
"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."

This requires active participation in the political process, something close to 50% of Americans don't do.
