Ahem...I hope what you mean by that is "Snipers take aim from within the weeds." Otherwise, I foresee a horrible "Lull" post coming on.

How would the country and it's institutions treat those exercising their revolutionary right to overthrow it, I wonder?

from memory yes.
Is that an example of "Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can excercise their constitutional right of amending it, or excercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it" or the institutions preventing the people using "their constitutional right of amending it"?
