Yes, the correct answer is C. "That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed . . ." This idea is also conveyed in the Preamble to the Constitution, which states, "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." Both the Declaration of Independence and the Preamble to the Constitution emphasize the idea that governments exist to secure the rights and freedoms of the people, and that their power comes from the consent of the governed.
