Answer:

A. Declaration of Independence

Step-by-step explanation:

"Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" is one of the famous phrases of the U.S. Declaration of Independence. In the document, Thomas Jefferson held that "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" were inalienable rights of people, that is to say, rights that cannot be taken away or denied to people because they were given by a divine source, the "Creator". According to Jefferson, the government was instituted in order to secure those rights, however, whenever that government became destructive of those rights, it was the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government.
