Answer 1

The answer is A. This excerpt from the Declaration of Independence explains a reason to "dissolve political bands" when it mentions that it is the Right the People to alter or to abolish, which means to dissolve any Form of Goverment that becomes destructive of these ends (political bands). The other options indicate that Goverment are instituted and should not be changed for light causes.
