Answer:

This statement is the Declaration of Independence’s major premise

Step-by-step explanation:

The Declaration of Independence (1776) was a document in which the Thirteen American colonies unanimously declared independence from Britain for not securing people's unalienable rights of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness, listed many of the British wrongdoing toward the American colonies, and asserted their duty and right to create another form of government that protected their unalienable rights. Therefore, the statement “When a government fails to protect the unalienable rights of its citizens, it is the duty and right of citizens to create another form of government” is the basis for the document, in other words, its major premise.
