The Founding Fathers said no such about the U.S. federal government. As long as elections are held on schedule (and assuming they are fair), office holders leave when their term is up and the courts are open, no tyranny can develop.
And you are wrong to think that the Union equates to the federal government. If government is all that the Union means to you, then you are a perfect liberal. If the government in Washington, D.C. is all you base this country on, please get the Hell out of my country.
Americans may have a right to rebel against their government if that government becomes tyrannical, but what right do Americans have to say they are no longer part of the same country as their fellow citizens?
