This is way off the already way off topic discussion, but I'm a Lincoln 
buff, and remembered the resolution that "Lincoln and the liberals of 
Springfield" pushed through about the Hungarian Revolution of 1848:

It is resolved:

1. That it is the right of any people, sufficiently numerous for 
national independence, to throw off, to revolutionize, their existing 
form of government, and to establish such other in its stead as they 
may chose.

2. That it is the duty of our government to neither foment, nor assist, 
such revolutions in other governments.

From The Life and Writings of Abraham Lincoln, edited by Philip Van 
Doren Stern
