Answer:
Government gets their power from the consent of the people in which they govern.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Declaration of Independents was created because the colonists were extremely unhappy with British government. British government was abusive and overtaxed the colonists. But taxes, obeying, and voting were not the reason they separated from Britain. Eventually the colonists decided to separate because the British government would perform actions the helped themselves rather than the common good of the colonists. In the new government the the Americans created government was created by the people for the people. If the American government would preform selfish actions it would immediately fall because it was supported by the people.
People raises government --> Governments helps community ---> Community may choose to continue to help government
Government becomes unfair --> Community instantly feels the hit and no longer supports government --> Government falls
