Answer:

B) The colonists should separate from Britain because Britain does not protect the colonists' rights.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Declaration of Independence introduced the radical idea that “all men are created equal” in terms of their God-given right to choose their own governments. “Their just Powers derive from the consent of the people,” Jefferson said, adding that the people have the right to “alter or abolish” governments that deny them their “unalienable rights” to “life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.”
