"Consent of the people" is defined as the majority. The people are not primarily a collective. Anyone who doesn't consent, isn't consenting. Well "moral nature" is bringing in a whole new dimension... Not really a new dimension, rather one that had already been raised. Whether something is an attack, a justified attack, defense, or somehow correctly imposing "the consent of the people" is partially a moral question. Not at all. The constitution doesn't address this issue. The rule of law? No, the issue of consent. You were arguing that people should be free not to follow the law without repercussion I was arguing no such thing. I was arguing that they had not consented.
