The correct answer is A: "Governments are created by people, they derive their powers from the consent of those being governed." This idea is explicitly stated in the Declaration of Independence. To arrive at this answer, one can directly refer to the text of the Declaration of Independence and analyze its main principles. The Declaration of Independence clearly asserts that governments are instituted among men to secure certain unalienable rights, and that they derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. This means that the authority of a government comes from the people it governs, and it exists to protect the rights and freedoms of its citizens.
