Based on the claims/complaints in the Declaration Of Independence, what were the 3 most important things the authors of the Declaration Of Independence believed a government must do, or not do, in order to be considered fair and just?

Answer 1

The authors of the Declaration of Independence believed that a fair and just government must:

Protect the unalienable rights of its citizens, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Obtain its power from the consent of the governed, meaning that it must be based on the will of the people and not a small group of elites.

Provide equal treatment and representation for all citizens, without discrimination or favoritism towards any particular group.
