58. I’ll answer that question: the American Revolution was legitimized because the Magna Carta designated that the powers of the King and Parliament were not absolute. Therefore, when the King violated his own laws, the colonists were well within their rights to defend themselves. Also note that England started the war with an illegal raid on the Massachusetts Militia’s armory. If that is insufficient, then I must resort to the prima facie evidence based on the Revolution’s success- except that the Lord was on our side, there was no way that a ragtag army of farmers and traders could defeat the mighty British Army.
