Answer 2

The correct answer is C) when a government has a long history of abusing its citizens, those citizens can and should overthrow that government.

This means that citizens have the right to impeach unfit rulers, according to Thomas Jefferson, it is not only a right, but a duty of the People to “throw off” a despotic government. This can be called impeachment or in other types of governments, “the right of revolution”.
