Which of the following best paraphrases these lines from the second section of the
Declaration:
That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving
their just powers from the consent of the governed; That whenever any form of
government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to
alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on
such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem
most likely to effect their safety and happiness.
Governments are of the people, by the people, and for the people and shall not
perish from the earth.
Governments should get their power from the people being governed. However,
when the government abuses its powers, the people have the right to change the
government to something that will respect their rights.
Governments should get their power from divine rights. However, when the
government stops supporting the Church, it should be overthrown.
Governments should get their power from the people being governed, with 1/2 of
the power coming from the king and ½ coming from Parliament. Parliament
should execute the king when he tries to abolish Parliament.
