Explanation:

The Declaration of Independence asserts that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, and their core purpose is to protect the unalienable natural rights (life, liberty, pursuit of happiness) of the people. Option A is incorrect because the document rejects monarchical authority. Option C is wrong as the document justifies challenging a government that fails to protect rights. Option D is incorrect because the Declaration does not define equality as equal wealth, but as equal natural rights.
