The Declaration of Independence embodies social contract theory by listing the ways the colonists felt their liberties had been violated by the king. This aligns with the idea that government exists to protect the rights of the governed, and when it fails to do so, the people have the right to alter or abolish it. The document reflects the colonists' assertion of their rights and justifies their decision to seek independence based on the failure of the monarchy to uphold the social contract.
