Why did the Declaration include the idea that all people have the right to change their government?

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

The Declaration had this idea because the Founders didn't want a corrupt government to overrule the voices of the people. If people began to hate how the government was governing them, they could vote them out and pick a new one that fits their interest. The Declaration talks about We the People, not we the government.

Have a wonderful day! :D
