Quote:Oh, right. Freedom from / freedom to distinction. However, I don't think that helps anyone make the case that treason is a constitutionally enshrined right. After all, as you've demonstrated, the constitution says nothing about underage drinking, yet it's still illegal.Drinking age is a state law, as federal laws were struck down as unconstitutional.
As for the right to overthrow the government, I don't see what difference it makes if the government you are overthrowing says its ok or not. I'm pretty sure England had laws saying that what the founders did was illegal, but they still felt they were right to do it.
