Shelby Wilkinson · Answer 1

C. is the correct answer.

Explanation:

According to the Declaration of Independence, when the government abuses its power, 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." ... People have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

The Declaration of Independence says that we not only have the right but we also have the duty to alter or abolish any government that does not secure our unalienable rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
