Really? I'd say there is plenty of evidence left by people who had witnessed their rights being stripped away by a government's whim.
Founding Fathers of the United States of America said:But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.
