    Defining the role of a legitimate government is an ongoing debate that merits close inspection. In the story of “the Great Declaration”, King Wu overthrows the Shang Dynasty and its leader King Shou after deeming his predecessor as illegitimate in the eyes of Heaven. King Wu finds King Shou to be unrepentantly selfish, egotistic, and cruel, leading to no other option than a coup.
