You claim that man has the natural law right to shed its governance whenever he wants, however he wants , for what ever reason he wants. That is your claim but certainly not that of the actual text of the D of I.

So you're cherry-picking natural law right asserted by the Declaration which is why you don't like and apparently want to avoid the part of the D of I that says

- Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causesor

- To prove [Tyranny over these States], let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

Let us first concentrate our mental energies on this King question, and then we can consider other points after we have answered the King question.

Do men have a right to rule themselves, or must they submit to a King so long as he doesn't cause them grievances?
