Right to resist
- ... that 40 countries constitutionally recognize a right to resist the government? Source: Ginsburg et al., the list in the appendix
- ALT0b ... that 40 countries constitutionally recognize a right to resist the government under certain circumstances?
- ALT1 ... that the right to resist provides "an ultimate remedy to human rights violations"?

I've counted only 40 countries. And I wouldn't say it is always (or even usually) the right to resist the government. When a constitution gives the citizens the right to disobey a government that doesn't obey that very constitution, it is not the same as giving the right to randomly disobey the lawful government. For example, the Constitution of Azerbaijan says: "Every citizen of the Azerbaijan Republic has the right to independently show resistance to the attempt of a mutiny against the State or forced change of the constitutional order." So it actually asks the citizens to defend the government.
All that said, I think the hook in its current form is controversial. --Moscow Connection (talk) 02:30, 21 May 2022 (UTC)- A hook cannot give all information although certainly "under certain circumstances" does apply. (t · c) buidhe 04:56, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
- Okay, agreed, I am good with the ALT0b hook and certainly can appove it. (Sorry for the delay, btw.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 23:16, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
ALT0b is good to go.
1. The article is long enough. It was created in draftspace on March 20, moved to mainspace on May 20 and promptly nominated. 2. ALT0b checks out, it is very interesting and would be a good addition to the main page. --Moscow Connection (talk) 23:25, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

- Moscow Connection There is no ALT2, do you mean ALT0b or ALT1, or both? (t · c) buidhe 23:32, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
- Fixed. I meant ALT0b. As for ALT1, I hadn't noticed it and I think it is less interesting than ALT0b. (I'm glad I've returned. It has just came to me that the hook on the second line is ALT1. And what do I see? My mistake is even more embarrassing. Sorry, I took too much time off the DYK project and forgot everything.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 00:00, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
