Two qualifying events in 340 years is a 0.5882% annual chance of nationwide violent revolution against the ruling government.

That's not an accurate characterization of either the Revolutionary War or the Civil War.

Immediately availability of small arms is also unlikely to be all that important in similar scenarios (just lie when the local revolt asks if you are against them).

It's an interesting thing to consider how likely things are to fall apart though.
