2.031)

The passage talks about the duty of people to overthrow a tyrannical government. Option C states that citizens are obligated to abolish tyrannical governments, which matches this idea.

The passage mentions unalienable rights like life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. Option D says humans have a natural right to life, liberty, and property (similar concept of natural rights), so it matches.

The passage says governments get their power from the consent of the governed. Option A states government is empowered and limited by the people, which aligns with this.
