The Declaration of Independence explained that all people are born with certain “unalienable rights,” meaning rights that can not be taken away. These rights include life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The Declaration of Independence asserted that if a government abuses the rights of people, the people have the right to change the government.

The Declaration of Independence states… “We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed…”
