a) when the government doesnt protect their natural rights
b) when a government wants to raise taxes
c) when a king doesnt protect their natural rights
d) when government officials dont leave office

Explanation:

For Question 13: Before the Magna Carta (1215), King John of England imposed heavy, arbitrary taxes on the barons (wealthy landowning nobles) to fund wars, which led to their rebellion and the demand for the Magna Carta to limit royal taxation power.
For Question 14: The Declaration of Independence states that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, and when a government fails to protect the natural rights (life, liberty, pursuit of happiness) of the people, the people have the right to alter or abolish it.

Answer:

Question 13: B) Barons
Question 14: A) When the government doesn't protect their natural rights
