    The answer is "Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves."

    Explanation:

    The declaration of independence stated that government should be elected by representatives in order to secure the fundamental rights of people to "life liberty and pursuit of happiness." This is possible on the basis of a social contract, where people agree to live together in a society, based on mutual respect of the principles enunciated in the declaration of independence. Since the government is the main guarantor of this social contract, people are willing to suffer rather than lose the form of government that protects their individual rights.
