by cutting costs whenever possible by reducing the size of the army by lowering expenses for government social functions by eliminating all internal taxes
The social contract
You really should read it- it is not that long, and was a pretty good bit of writing. It says: "That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. "
I'm assuming that you mean "where" and not "what" when you ask this, so here's the answer: "That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." To paraphrase, this is stating that when a govenment no longer protects the rights of "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness", then the governed have the right to abolish that government for the good of the people.
