The entire premise of the Declaration was that the British rule was contrary to natural law. They spent an inordinate amount of time being reasonable and amazingly enough were in the process of getting what most colonists really wanted: To be subjects, not colonists. Then the crazy rabble rousers  (CG or CN) in Massachusetts went and started an armed revolt.Faced with this the three framers and a number of other men of their ilk drew up the Declaration if Independence which served a number of purposes, one of which was a legal and philosophic fig leaf to pretty up the revolt and rationalize it. Following the end of the War of American Independence, they then went on and established a legalist society second only to the Chinese Empire.As for the Sons on Liberty, from any objective modern perspective, they were by an large terrorists. Similarly Ethan Allen was an insurgent, although again, probably Lawful as his actions related to New York not recognizing the property rights when the Crown decided what we now call Vermont was part of New York and not New Hampshire.</blockquote>
