You mean they couldn't decide for themselves what to do?

But what happens if government uses its power to infringe upon or even destroy people's rights, as our Founders feared it might do? As the Declaration points out, in that case it is the right of the people to alter or abolish their government and to institute new government that would be more likely to protect their rights.

What rights were being infringed upon?

I'm not sure I know what you mean. What you quoted was something I wrote?
