The right to self-govern.
The Declaration asserted the colonies’ independence and argued that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed — i.e., the people’s right to govern themselves. It did not create specific protections like freedom of speech (that came later in the Bill of Rights), nor endorse living without any government or voting for a president.
