If someone feels that the rules of his/her country is destroying the country,,need you opinion?
Well, taking the U.S. as an example, during colonial times, the American colonists were upset with the British crown for several different acts like the Stamp Act and the Quartering Act (which required the colonists to house British solders at the risk of leaving them alone with their wives and daughters, if I can recall correctly). Although I think one of the biggest issue was taxation without representation--in which the British crown taxed the American colonists as much as it can since the Americans have no representation in Parliament. A lot of what the British did angered the Americans to the point that they started a Revolutionary War, which later resulted in their independence. As a result, the Americans value freedom, personal rights, and democracy, which led to the separation of powers (the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of our government) and power investment into the states in order to prevent too much power concentrating in a single central government.
