I want to live in a place where overthrowing the government isn't illegal.

Sometimes governments go wrong, and when that happens I want the citizens to be able to get rid of them and start afresh.

And with modern governments having access to a lot of weaponry, it would really be better if that happened peacefully.

"Overthrowing government" is legal. By winning an election.

That makes no sense. If 25 random assholes can choose to remake the government, that'll keep happening until one group of them makes it illegal.
