I didn't say it did. I said that the presence of a representative system, of a legal way of altering government, separated the American Revolution from Southern Secession.

And for what it's worth, I'm half inclined to doubt the moral legitimacy of America's continuing the War of Independence past 1778; the Carlisle Commission would likely have granted Americans all the representation, liberties and self-government they had demanded in 1774, everything short of independence, perhaps. A lot of people died over the next six years.

America's 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Revolution is not about representation but consent.

When I wrote no matter who wins the election half the country is not happy I mean to say, they are on the edge of withdrawing their consent. Obviously Conservative voices are not being "heard" when Obamacare gets passed, illegal immigration gets ignored in AZ. Conversely, the Liberals voices are not being heard when Obamacare is overturned and there is a crack down on illegal immigration.
