Question

According to the Declaration of Independence, when should the people have the right to change their government?

A. When a government wants to raise taxes
B. When the government doesn't protect their natural rights
C. When government officials don't leave office
D. When a king doesn't protect their natural rights

Answer 1

The correct answer is this one: "B. When the government doesn't protect their natural rights." According to the Declaration of Independence, when the government abuses its power and when the government doesn't protect their natural rights, the people should change it or even overthrow it.  As the Declaration says, “it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it.”
