Our founders believed in natural law. They also believed in a Lawgiver. The laws of nature are immutable and eternal, and they are issued by an immutable, eternal Creator.

And because these natural laws are transcendent, no human government has the moral or legal authority to take them away.

Therefore, these natural laws form the foundation for mankind’s natural rights and the limits of human government.

When the natural balance between human rights and government is disrupted, then action must be taken to restore that balance.

This is the fundamental reason and underlying cause for the American Revolution, in which the English monarchy unjustly usurped the natural rights of the American colonies.

This is also why our forefathers wrote about it in the opening paragraph of the Declaration:
 
You see, our forebears knew that we are “entitled” as human beings, and especially as free Americans, to these natural, divinely bestowed rights.

And, when they are denied, then it then becomes “necessary to dissolve the political bands” that restrain and restrict those unalienable rights.

This separation becomes inevitable and, in fact, necessary because the very nature of the law itself is at stake.

In other words, the founders believed in their bones that “Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God."

For this reason, Benjamin Franklin wanted this phrase to be our national motto and pushed for it to be on the Great Seal of the United States.

And though Congress ultimately rejected it, Thomas Jefferson loved it so much that he adopted it as his own personal seal.

Therefore, when it becomes necessary, we can and must rebel against tyranny in order to protect and preserve “the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God.”
