Correct answer: "The Declaration of Independence lists all of the ways that the colonists felt their liberties had been violated by the king."

Brief explanation: The Declaration asserts natural rights and says government exists by the people's consent to protect those rights; by listing the king's violations it shows the ruler broke the social contract, justifying the people's right to alter or abolish that government.
