72. Analyzing the Declaration of Independence Principle 3: The government gets its power to make decisions and protect rights from the people. Principle 4: When the government does not protect the rights of the people, the people have the right to change or remove the government.

73. Excerpt 1 When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another…a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

74. Excerpt 2 We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

75. Excerpt 3 That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

76. Excerpt 4 That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute a new Government.
