It is basically saying that if the government make a REALLY bad decision, we can take it down no buts about it. But we have to make new government in place of it.
That is the true meaning of PATRIOTISM..
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.
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. "
alter or abolish the government
I think he states that in the second paragraph when he writes: .........governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; 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 principals and organizing its powers in such forms, as to them shall seem most likely of effect their safety and happiness.............
"to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,-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." Ever since their creation, these ideas have guided the development of U.S. government, including the creation of the U.S. Constitution in 1787. The concepts of equal and inalienable rights for all, limited government, popular consent, and freedom to rebel have had a lasting effect on U.S. law and politics.
The quote, "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" is found in the Declaration of Independence.
