According to the Declaration of Independence, governments are established to secure the rights of mankind, such as the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. These rights, according to the Declaration, are unalienable, meaning they cannot be taken away. When any form of government becomes "destructive of these ends" (the unalienable rights of the citizens), it is the right of the citizens to "alter or abolish" that government, and establish a new government that will protect the rights of the people.
