The Declaration of Independence describes people’s natural rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It also reflects the social-contract idea that governments get their authority from the consent of the governed and may be changed when they violate people’s rights. The Bill of Rights protects individual rights, and the Constitution establishes separation of powers among the branches of government. The Declaration did not support the monarch or continued colonial government; it declared independence from British rule.
