There have been numerous revolutions in World History to overthrow a country, when people are not happy with the government. Would something like this work in the US or France or wherever because I think people do not have enough balls and militarys are too strong.

I'm not saying today but i'm saying one day in the future(hopefully never) I think people have just changed to much.

To be honest I don't think things are bad enough. Revolutions happen when people are desperate. Many people will not put their lives and livelihoods on the line unless they have nothing to lose. Things are pretty good right now - sure they could be improved - but we have it better (in the west at least) than at any point in history. Higher wages, a vastly increased standard of living, freedom of speech (for the most part), a (reasonably) fair economy, democracy (kind of), no war (that affects the everyday citizen), enough food, no natural disasters or pandemics of disease - it's the absense of these things which cause revolution.

Well obviously they dont have the problem solving skills to be able to conduct an effective ouster of government power. I dont think you do either because you dont seem to be weighing the pros and cons to a revolution or really seem to understand why someone would do that.

This did happen in both the United States and in France. Are you asking if it could happen again?
