Government are created to ensure those rights
When it infringes upon those rights, people have not only the right, but the responsibility to alter or abolish said government and institute a new one
American law starts with Dec Of Ind
And in fact, is the precedent by which the Constitutional ratification process draws its basis for legality, state by state
It was echoed in PA state Constitution along with several others
It’s the only legal document that has it’s own day, and fireworks (sorry Constitution)
Dec of Ind was ratified
