That's an intriguing idea. We clearly need more teeth in the Constitutional restrictions on government power over the people.
Minor point, you're describing Treason, not insurrection:
insurrection | ˌinsəˈrekSH(ə)n | noun a violent uprising against an authority or government: the insurrection was savagely put down | opposition to the new regime led to armed insurrection.
treason | ˈtrēzən | noun (also high treason) the crime of betraying one's country, especially [thus, not only] by attempting to kill the sovereign or overthrow the government: they were convicted of treason.
