Answer:

A."replace or otherthrow it"

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the founding fathers' deemed that the British government under King George III had violated the social contract by misusing power (restricting colonists' movement, trade, and individual rights), they felt justified to overthrow that unjust government. The Declaration of Independence announced this action.

The correct answer is: "replace or otherthrow it"
