Select one:

A. the right to petition for rule by another country's government
B. the right to abolish this government
C. the right to emigrate from this country
D. no recourse to change the government

Respuesta :

B is the correct answer

Answer:    B. The right to abolish this government

Explanation:  The Declaration of Independence is inspired and drawn up directly on the basis of the Enlightenment. According to the Enlightenment Ideas on the Defence and Protection of Human Natural Rights, it is the government that must ensure that these rights are enforced on the basis of a social agreement. If the government does not work to secure and enforce the natural rights of its citizens, those same citizens have the right to replace such a government with another that will respect the social agreement.
