Are you saying it is not the right of the people to decide if the government is "destructive of these ends"?

Not at all. I think you misunderstand the Declaration of Independence. The authors stated that their present government, the Crown of England, had become "destructive to these ends". Then they implemented their change by revolution. The DOI isn't talking about politics, legislation or voting.

"I think you misunderstand the Declaration of Independence. "

Yes, but I'm trying to get you to say why you think that

You objected to my criticism of the court, instead of the people, changing the form of government. But you have not said why you do.
