“All men are created
equal, endowed by their
creator with certain
inalienable rights”
GOD gave us rights
“To secure these rights,
gov’t is constituted &
derive their powers
from the consent of the
governed”
Gov’t must protect
those rights

people have the right
to abolish it
People have the right
to change the
government if it
doesn’t protect those
rights
