Then the piece of paper is irrelevant. The people choose to act this way.

Yes, it’s a collaboration.
A “tribe” of its own.
Is this not sufficient? Couldn’t people work together to fix their own problems then? Because if you accept the premise that the constitution is just a piece of paper with no real power, then all we really have left is a group of individuals acting.
Instead of this strange example you gave where a government is overthrown, let’s try another scenario. What would happen in this same “country” if all the people stopped paying taxes?
If you don’t like the terms “government” and “country”, then substitute all of it for “tribe”. I am good with that.
