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 peoples 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 states that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, and their core purpose is to protect the unalienable rights of citizens (life, liberty, pursuit of happiness). It does not claim all governments are oppressive, focus solely on opposing monarchies, or require universal citizen consent to exist.

Answer:

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