Governments derive their powers from the consent of the governed.
The Declaration of Independence limits the powers of government by asserting that governments derive their authority from the consent of the governed, and that people have the right to alter or abolish a government that fails to protect their rights.

Yes. The division of federal and state powers is outlined in the Constitution.
It means that in order to secure the rights that were just listed, governments are instituted among men, and these governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed.to secure these rights governments are instituted among men deriving their just powers from the consent of the governedRead more: What_does_that_to_secure_these_rights_governments_are_instituted_among_men_deriving_their_just_powers_from_the_consent_of_the_governed_in_the_declaration_of_independence_meanto secure these rights governments are instituted among men deriving their just powers from the consent of the governedRead more: What_does_that_to_secure_these_rights_governments_are_instituted_among_men_deriving_their_just_powers_from_the_consent_of_the_governed_in_the_declaration_of_independence_meanto secure these rights governments are instituted among men deriving their just powers from the consent of the governedRead more: What_does_that_to_secure_these_rights_governments_are_instituted_among_men_deriving_their_just_powers_from_the_consent_of_the_governed_in_the_declaration_of_independence_mean

Inherent powers are powers that the government and officials of the government hold. They are not necessarily listed powers found in a constitution but powers that are needed by the government in order to govern. It is similar to Jefferson's contention in the Declaration that governments get their power from the governed and there are certain rights that even the government cannot take away from the citizen--inalienable rights. The government has similar rights that are given it simply because it exists as a government.
The government receives its authority to act from the people.
There are five points in the Declaration of Independence. They are; All Men are created equal, the creator grants man rights, Governments are instituted to protect these rights, the Governments get their powers from man, and if the governments begin to usurp these rights, man has the right to fight back.
