This (at least at the moment heheh) is a purely hypothetical problem I am wondering about and just wanted some feedback. I know some here disagree with the idea of laws in the first place, as do I to an extent, but for the time being I just want to focus on the issue at hand, thanks.
So I am just reading the Texas Bill of Rights for fun and noticed that it says, as it does in the American Constitution, that the people have the right to alter, reform, or abolish the government as they deem fit.
However, later it talks about treason and says that people can only be tried for treason for aiding enemies or waging war against the state.
How can the people abolish the government without war? My first thought it through legal reformation, but wouldn’t that just go under the “alter, or reform” part of the clause?
When I think of abolish I think of the American Revolution, in which the colonists waged war against the Brits, ABOLISHED the current government and made a new one.
In my opinion, abolishment implies violence, although now that I think about it, the government could be changed through a mass peaceful demonstration, but that seems unlikely.
I just want outside opinions on what I perceive to be a near paradox. Thanks
