Answer 2

The answer to your question is option B. All governments are corrupt and need to be overthrown eventually.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!

To answer this question we should know the 4 principles of the declaration of independence. These are:

1- All people are created equal

2- All people have basic rights that cannot be taken away

3- The government gets its power to make decisions and to protect rights from the people

4- When the government does not protect the rights of the people, the people have the right to change or remove the government

Therefore by knowing this, we can rule out option D, A and C. Therefore the one that does not apply is option B.
