The Declaration of Independence says God gave us “unalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” That governments are instituted to secure those rights, and if government is “destructive of these ends” it is “the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it.”

How?

Replying to @marwilliamson @snatchedstudies

For example, from its present "not yet overthrown" condition, we could alter it.
