Answer: C. The Constitution establishes a government that protects the rights mentioned in the declaration
Step-by-step explanation:
The Declaration of Independence is the document which sets down the values, freedoms and rights of the American people as a free nation, whereas the Constitution is the legal document with binding force through which all these values come into force within the American system.
The Declaration of Independence is not legally binding, but it's a very important document that makes a strong statement about the American culture of freedom and the Constitution is the document based upon which the American legal system is built. The Constitution does not override the government that the Declaration described - it creates one. The Constitution does not make the Declaration a legal document and it doesn't provide more proof that the grievances listed in the declaration were fair either.
All in all, the Constitution simply brings to life the necessary institutions for protecting the values inscribed in the Declaration of Independence.
