The idea that the people have the right to abolish an abusive and unresponsive government was first formally expressed by the Americans in the Declaration of Independence. Such justifications for rebellion were not necessary in the U.S. Constitution because it was written long after the end of the American Revolutionary War.

Was forty acres and a mule promised to American citizens by the U.S. Government?

The promise of "forty acres and a mule" was not formally enacted by the U.S. government but was proposed during the Reconstruction era after the Civil War. Specifically, it stemmed from Special Field Order No. 15, issued by General William Tecumseh Sherman in 1865, which aimed to redistribute land to formerly enslaved individuals. However, this promise was largely unfulfilled, as land was returned to its original owners or not allocated as planned, leading to significant disillusionment among African Americans. Ultimately, the federal government did not implement this policy on a wide scale.
