Step-by-step explanation:

Declaration of Independence , is the right answer.

The Second Continental Congress that meet at the Pennsylvania State House in Philadelphia, adopted the Declaration of Independence, to declare the freedom of the thirteen colonies from the British rule. According to this document the citizen of the nation has the right to overthrow their government if it no longer serves the “common good” that it was allotted to preserve.

The United States Constitution is the document that states that it is the right of the citizens to overthrow their government if it no longer represents the 'common good' that it was assigned to protect. It was written and signed in 1789.
