You said that the "US Government has been corrupt since its founding."

It very well may have been. I don't want to debate that yet. I do want to say that one must acnowledge the incredible reach our constitution and bill of rights have had on other countries, and the world in general.

Imagine everyone's surprise in high school "US Government" class when the teacher explained that it is the DUTY of the American people to rise up against their government should it ever become corrupt and oppressive. With the freedoms and rights that we are given, comes that resposibility.
