question 6 (5 points)
according to the declaration of independence, when should the people have the right to change their government?
a) when the government doesnt protect their natural rights
b) when a king doesnt protect their natural rights
c) when a government wants to raise taxes
d) when government officials dont leave office

Explanation:

The Declaration of Independence states that governments are instituted to secure people's natural rights (life, liberty, pursuit of happiness). When a government fails to protect these rights, the people have the right to alter or abolish it. Option B is incorrect as it focuses on a king, but the principle applies to the government (not just a king). Option C (tax - raising) and D (officials not leaving office) are not the reasons stated in the Declaration for changing the government.

Answer:

A) When the government doesn't protect their natural rights
