Boston tea party and all that.

  Interesting, a good point. I didn't see it that way, thinking it more a revolt against foreign oppression, but I don't know how Americans see it.

    You mean, do they see the CEOs as being like themselves? Or do the see them as like the king in his castle?

  Pre-constitution, doesn't count. We have had popular uprisings, they're either played down ("Bonus Army", coal miner's strikes) or significantly mis-labeled, "War between the states".

    The civil war was not a popular uprising. It was started by the South’s elites to preserve an institution that benefitted them far more than it did the proletariat. The Confedeeate army was led by elites as well. I believe there were some popular uprisings very early on but can’t remember their names off the top of my head, other than the Whiskey Rebellion.

    Why doesn't it count? The constitution wasn't force majeure, imposed by a distant third party.
