The correct answer according to the Declaration of Independence is:
C. When a king doesn't protect their natural rights
Explanation:
- The Declaration of Independence, drafted by Thomas Jefferson in 1776, states that when a government fails to protect the natural rights of its citizens, the people have the right to alter or abolish that government.
- Natural rights include life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, as stated in the Declaration.
- If a king or any form of government does not uphold these fundamental rights, the people have the right to seek a new form of governance that will protect these rights.
