That entirely depends on who you are directing that inquiry to!

Is the Declaration of Independence Illegal? Silly Brits. After all these years, they still don't understand natural rights. During a moot debate last week at Franklin Hall in Philadelphia, British lawyers argued that the 1776 American Declaration of Independence was not only illegal, but actually treasonable. There is no legal principle then or now to allow a group of citizens to establish their own laws because they want to, the British barristers maintained. Well, of course seceding from Great Britain and renouncing allegiance to King George III was both illegal and treasonable by British legal standards. That's why the American colonists appealed not to their rights as British subjects for a redress of a grievances (as they had done up until 1774) but to the universal supra-political "Laws of Nature and of Nature's God" and the natural rights that go along with them.

Alexander Hamilton's words to set his Tory opponent straight in The Farmer Refuted (1775) come to mind: "The fundamental source of all your errors, sophisms, and false reasonings, is a total ignorance of the natural rights of mankind. The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for, among old parchments, or musty records. They are written, as with a sun beam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the divinity itself; and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power."

When the Declaration announces that it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security, this right to alter or abolish government is of course not to be found in British common law. It is a natural right to which all men can appeal, regardless of the constitution under which they live! The Philosophy of Thugs and Hooligans eh? :| :| :|
