This one is what I would choose "All men are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness"

Answer:

The correct answer is D: "He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.”

Explanation:

By dissolving Representative Houses, he is threatening the rights of the people, namely their right to withdraw consent of being governed by Britain because they are not represented in Parliament. Popular Sovereignty is the idea that the people are the ultimate source of authority, and if they do not like their government, they can withdraw their consent to be governed, abolish the government, and create a new one.
