Is that why we all care about the royal family 200+ years later?
On some level do we yearn for the "good old days" under British Imperial Rule?

According to the USA Patriot Act, the founding fathers were terrorists and had no right to rebel. Ironic that it's called the Patriot Act.

Sure it was illegal! The defectionists were lawbreakers and the fact that they defeated the royal army has absolutely no bearing on the legality of their claim!
Except...
That all government is backed solely by the threat of force and violence. By demonstrating greater force than their British overlords, rightful as they may have been, the American rebels claimed their freedom by the very source of all power: violence.
Anything else is sophistry and lawyer lies.

Maybe they should be asking the Irish or the Scots what they think...
Now that will get your a heated discussion to say the least...

In Philadelphia, American and British lawyers have debated the legality of America's founding documents.
On Tuesday night, while Republican candidates in Nevada were debating such American issues as nuclear waste disposal and the immigration status of Mitt Romney's gardener, American and British lawyers in Philadelphia were taking on a far more fundamental topic.
