They can, but it depends on which kinds of rules. Rules in and of themselves are not a bad thing. In fact, they are a part of life. Rules can be found in religion, at school, at home, at work, etc. There are few places that don't have at least some rules. Most rules are necessary in order to have a stable and orderly culture, and the vast majority of people accept them. For example, it's a rule that students must raise their hand before speaking in class. It's a rule in some companies that men must wear jackets and ties to work. These kinds of rules may be annoying, but they do not threaten anyone's life or health.

However, sometimes, rules can be seen as cruel, harsh, and arbitrary; they crush freedom of expression or are used to stifle dissent. Those kinds of rules do lead to rebellions. For example, slavery was the rule in the United States (and in some other countries); some slaves rebelled against it and tried to escape. In some countries, there is a Dictatorship where freedom of religion or freedom of speech are not allowed and dissenters are imprisoned; sometimes, citizens of such a country will rise up to overthrow the leader and replace him (or her) with someone seen as more humane.

Why do you need to follow rules?

You need the motive for following rules. Since there are rules for just about everything and you don't specify what kind of rules you're asking about, the answer is very general. An understanding why the rules exist can often help form the motives for following them. For example, following the rules for scientific experimentation will not only give your result credibility, it can also prevent injury to someone. Following the rules of food production and distribution can definitely prevent someone from getting sick or worse. Following the rules of the road prevent accidents and keep traffic moving safely. Less dire situations that depend on rules include things like for borrowing books from the library or the rules of a given homeowners association or the rules of conduct at school, at work, or at the mall. These rules have all been set up for safety, and for the numbers of people involved to be able to enjoy the benefits of the given facility on an equal basis. Rules don't always make sense and don't prevent all injury, but without rules, people would have to struggle and fight for even the simplest activities of society. You see, in addition to all the good behaviors that people are capable of, there's an equal and opposite side to human nature.
