All men are created equal and endowed with unalienable rights.

institute new government...as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Enlightenment, an intellectual movement of the 18th century, emphasized the idea of natural rights and the inherent equality of all individuals. These ideas influenced the American Declaration of Independence, which states that all men are created equal and have unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It also states that governments are created to serve the people and that the people have the right to alter or abolish a government that becomes destructive to their safety and happiness.
