Select the correct text in the passage.
Read this excerpt from the Declaration of Independence. Which portion of the text reflects the Founding Fathers' ideas about the natural rights all
people are entitled to?
When, in the Course of human Events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the Political Bands which have connected them with
another, and to assume, among the
Powers of the Earth, the separate and equal Station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's GOD entitle
them, a decent Respect to
the Opinions of Mankind requires that they should declare the Causes which impel them to the Separation.
We hold these Truths to be self-
evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their CREATOR, with certain unalienable Rights,
that among these are Life,
Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness-That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving
their just Powers from the Consent of the
Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of
the People to alter
or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such
Form, as to them shall seem
most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
