Question

The writers think a government’s power comes

from a king.

from a president.

from the people.

from the Congress.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

-The Declaration of Independence

Unalienable rights means “natural rights.”

Answer 1

From the people.
The phrase "deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed" means government gets its authority from the people.
"Unalienable rights" means natural rights — rights that cannot justly be taken away.
