Democracy is a political Institution that gives the People at the Bottom the right to 'revolution'.

Democracy is a political Institution that is arranged with a Top and a Bottom. The Top houses power and the Bottom houses strength. But, the power of the Top arises from the Bottom and the strength of the Bottom arises from Number. Once, the Individuals, or, the Many at the Bottom, "peaceably" organize themselves to "petition the Government for redress of grievances", the failure or success, of the 'organization' depends on their Number. There is strength in Numbers, and rightfully executed, the People are the ones who can determine the outcome of the 'demonstration'. The only thing the Top can do to quell the demonstration is to purport to control the demonstration, not to 'crush it'. Control of the right to Revolution is different from an attempt to crush it. Obviously, any resort to 'illegal means' or some 'over- reaction', to the demonstration is not an acceptable means of control. Of course, at any time the whole thing can go wrong. It can go wrong from either side of the exercise of the Constitutional Right. The demonstration can be destructive, and hence not peaceable, or, the 'control' can be violent, and hence, not legal, or a case of over-reaction. Either side of the equation can 'go wrong'. Usually, the failure or success of such a demonstration depends on its organization, and the way the demonstrators conduct themselves. That's why the "Peace Marches" were so effective. Of course, the 'marchers' suffered many atrocities, but they changed the nature of our society. The credit goes to those who "marched", to those who suffered the atrocities, and to those who gave their lives. They also changed the nature of the Right to 'Revolution'.
