What was the beginning of the Declaration of Independence called?
The beginning of the Declaration, meaning the first long sentence that forms the first paragraph, is called the "Introduction", acccording to the National Archives. It is not the "Preamble" the way the opening paragraph of the US Constitution is called. The Preamble of the Declaration is the second paragraph. According to the National Archives there are 5 parts: Introduction; Preamble; Indictment of King George III; Denunciation of the British peoples; and Conclusion.
When can the government change?
The Declaration of Independence states, in the "prologue" and the first introductory paragraph (i.e., the most well-known parts of the Declaration of Independence), that "all men are created equal" and that "they are endowed...with certain unalienable rights", among which are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Further, the Declaration of Independence posits government as being created by the people for the purpose of safeguarding their unalienable rights. So, when a government 1)creates, develops, and habitually practices policies that undermine the peoples' rights to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness and/or 2)habitually practices policies that abuse and/or usurp the peoples' civic voice and/or rights to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, the people are encouraged, both as an allowance and a true civic duty, to "throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security." (While the Declaration of Independence is a little vague as to whether it requires, in the Founders' minds, that the said government practice both or just one of these injustices to recommend to the people a change of government, the implication, at least to me, seems to suggest that both injustices must be practiced by the government in order to justify the peoples' action of discarding such a government; refer to the following information.) However, the Declaration of Independence quickly goes on to say that governments, so long established, should not be so hastily thrown off for "light and transient causes" (whatever those might be as judged by the collective people); the point is that it is no light or frivolous thing to throw off one's government, especially if it's a fairly old government. Thus, according to the Declaration of Independence, the people should feel entitled to end a government that 1)continuously does injury to the basic rights of the people to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness broadly conceived and 2)habitually practices policies that dominate the lives of the people they are meant to serve while 3)usurping the peoples' control over their lives, liberties, and the pursuit of their happiness, and to replace it with a government that will guard these rights. Of course, you better make sure that, in changing your government, you replace it with something better. If you don't, the people will probably be so irate by a much worse abuse that "democracy" could quickly devolve into anarchy with you dead (some of the unfortunate chances in government); it doesn't really matter what will happen to government after this, because, like I said, you'll be dead, so you won't actually know what happens after your demise anyway. Hope this helped. Viva la revolucion!

What does the Declaration of Independence say in general?
The Declaration of Independence is not that long and is easy to read. It basically first states who "We" were, drawing together all colonists as a "united" people. Second, it lists the peoples grievances: you tax us too much; we have no voice in governing ourselves; we're tired of how you treat us as subjects to the British Crown. Then it declares the colonists' (and our) Independence. Take 10 minutes and read it.
