Its really The basic rights of the government come from the people :)
people have equal rights People have natural rights
when the government works against the rights of the people
alter or abolish the government
they would not have many rights
secure for the people and their natural rights
The Declaration of Independence did not address the people. It was sent to Britain and listed the ways they had wronged them. In it, however, it does say that people have the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and that Britain has gone against these rights. This suggested that they would protect these rights in their new government.
The Declaration of Independence and the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen are similar in that they both show that the people want freedom from the current form of government, that the common people are not happy with their lot, and that they want a new leader.
