It helps to read old books, like Jefferson's only published work, 'Notes on Virginia'

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notes_on_…

oll.libertyfund.org/title/jefferso…
1651/2:
An act of indempnitie made at the surrender of the country [of Virginia] [Ante p. 206.]
The Puritan Legislature (of Virginia) surrendered to (friendly) Cromwellian troops in March 1651/1652 - date ambiguity because the calendar year started Mar25

The Monarchist Executive retired to 'resist' on behalf of Charles II, successfully returning to power in 1660.
Neither side was later proud of all that happened in the 1650s -- the Puritans because they eventually lost, and the Cavaliers because they *eventually* lost and the Whig Interpretation of History edited their wins out.
Here's the book on the _Puritan Republic_ (of Mass), the history of which you were never taught:

Hoisting from the comments:
The current SCOTUS theory of sovereignty is probably best described (as you might guess) as 'governmental sovereignty' vs 'popular sovereignty' (or state sovereignty, which is ambiguous under the 1789 Constitution -- leading to a great deal of subsequent conflict)
In this formalist view, which I do not suport, the USG is sovereign *over* the people, and as sovereign, can make new constitutions (novellae, in Justinian's Latin phrase...) *for* the People.

This is, in the end, a theory of Imperium, only not Constantine's *Christian* Imperium

The real basis of the American Tyranny is the docility and subservience of the technical class.
The Many are more powerful than the Few -- the Few rely on technical means to keep the Many 'in line'.

One further comment: once an argument has been made, publicly, in the realm of political discourse, to IGNORE that argument, is a fallacy.

Ignoratio Elenchi, the most common fallacy on the Internet:

en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ignoratio…

REASON does not proceed by fallacious argument.
Censorship is a form of Ignoratio Elenchi -- it frames the public argument so that facts and evidence are ignored, and the argument of one's dialectical opponent (in a debate) is suppressed and ignored.

It is a form of Willful Ignorance -- what Nicholas of Cusa called ...
... Learned Ignorance

(both Learn'd Ignorance and Learn-ED Ignorance)

Let me make my case that 'USG is now illegitimate' short and sweet.

The marks of sovereignty are, traditionally, 'the power of life and death' -- for example, to conscript citizens to defend the Common Good and send them off to die in wars, to execute criminals...
... and secondly, the magisterial right of command (imperium) -- to lay down (constitute, as in constitutions), the legal framework, i.e. to legislate and to execute that legislation.

These are called, in Western Civilisation, 'The Two Swords of the King'...
When the Sovereign People lose the right to declare and prosecute wars -- and they have, by losing the power to elect Congress -- they have lost DOMINION.

When they have lost the power for states to sue each other in SCOTUS, and propose constitutional amendments and pass them --

A historical comparison is in order (another thread). In the 1650s, America participated in the English Civil War -- yes we did. New England was a Puritan haven so not much happened there. Maryland and Virginia were split, and both sides fought a war...
In the first American Revolution the (future) Whigs arrived on ships, and declared a Republic. They were fought by Monarchists. The monarchists eventually won (in 1660) and the Republican traitors were hanged in the Old Dominion (Virginia)
That was the first 'Convention Parliament' in England (1660).

The second was the Glorious Revolution of 1688/1689, and the Convention Parliament that 'invited' William of Orange to be Monarch -- including of the Dominion of New England, which now wished to be free of Tory Rule.

I believe this is a 'pretend world' argument, both in a legal and a political (and meta-constitutional) sense.

The President is, constitutionally, the creature of the state legislatures *specifically* -- and none of the state legislatures objected.

That implies ...
... for Biden to be 'illegitimate' he would need to lack legislative support.

The GOP -- the Uniparty -- installed Biden, defying the Will of the People in several states.

Biden is not in Rebellion or Illegitimate -- THE WHOLE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS.

Embrace the Horror.
Let me be clear: if you embrace the 'Biden is Illegitimate' line of attack, then presumably you can fix matters by

1/ recalling and changing state legislatures and Congress

2/ removing Biden the way the Uniparty is removing Trump

THAT ISNT POSSIBLE and that's
