The American Revolution: No taxation without representation. When you use martial law to trample our personal freedom, we will fight back and build the best democratic republic in world history. We will protect individual rights and constrain a ruler's power. A majority of a people has a natural right to self-governance and self-determination.
The Conservative Revolution: Even though we are over-represented in Congress, the Supreme Court, and the states, we still cannot impose our beliefs because we are not close to a majority and the Constitution limits us. So we are going to use martial law to silence the majority. We are also trampling on personal freedoms by declaring the Constitution changed without us actually amending it (because we cannot do that when we are outnumbered). Conservatives have a natural right to govern everyone and determine everything.
