So what were the "these ends" they referred to that the destruction of which would morally justify the alteration or abolition of the government?

Can we be in clear agreement that the Federal Government, right now, is indeed destructive of these rights: abortion, drug laws (given legitimacy though they be unlawful), the assassination authorization capability of the NDAA, 'regulation' of industry (like incandescent lights), and so forth?

I don’t see the federal government as destructive of a right to abortion. Quite the opposite, I suggest the federal government has created a right to abortion, against the states. Of course there are legal means to a remedy to that- Either by constitutional amendment, or by supreme court case that overrules Roe v. Wade, or by congressional legislation that removes review of medical regulations and procedures from the supreme court jurisdiction.
