Question

based on the declaration of independence, which statement best describes the founding fathers view on the role of government? all forms of government are oppressive and limit people’s rights. government is necessary in any society to protect the rights of the citizens. a government should never be led by a king or a royal family. a government must be disbanded if it does not reflect the will of all its citizens.

Explanation:

The Declaration of Independence holds that governments are instituted to secure the rights of people. If a government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it. This implies that government is necessary to protect citizens' rights, but also that it must be responsive to the people. The idea is not that all governments are oppressive, nor is there a strict prohibition on leadership by a king/royal family in the Declaration's core principles. And while the will of the people is important, the Declaration doesn't say a government must be disbanded if it doesn't reflect the will of all citizens (as that would be an extremely difficult standard to meet).

Answer:

B. Government is necessary in any society to protect the rights of the citizens
