Answer 1

A. When the government doesn't protect their natural rights

Step-by-step explanation:

The Declaration of Independence, written primarily by Thomas Jefferson and adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, asserts that when a government fails to secure the natural rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish that government and institute a new one that will better protect those rights. This principle is based on the idea that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed and exist to protect the rights of the people.
