Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The caveat as contained in the Declaration of Independence is that "Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes."

2. The reason it was included is to dissuade the idea of overthrowing the government for flimsy, haste, or personal excuses that may not follow the tenets of fighting for real liberty and natural rights of humans in the society or under any government.
