To what extent are rebellion and legislation linked (throughout American history, beginning in early America through to the Industrial Revolution)?

Rebellions in American history are often the result of
legislation or lack thereof. The first recorded rebellion of European Americans was
Bacon's Rebellion in colonial Jamestown. Bacon and his followers were unhappy that the
House of Burgesses did not provide protection from outlying Indians. Later, the Whiskey
Rebellion was the result of Alexander Hamilton's whiskey tax. Rebellion in the North
after the Fugitive Slave Law took the form of Personal Liberty Laws which prohibited
enforcement of a federal law. The failure of the U.S. Government to recognize labor
unions as representatives of working people often led to strikes which became violent,
such as the Railroad Strike of 1877 and the Haymaker incident in which several people
were killed. If you are looking for a general answer, I think it is best to say that
rebellion and legislation are linked because failure of the government to be attuned to
the sentiments of the people often leads to rebellion.
