Does the preamble to the Declaration of Independence indicate reasons why the new independent government might be similarly removed or overthrown? Why or why not?



Answer :

Yes. It outlines when it is appropriate to remove a government.


Yes. The preamble of the Declaration of Independence states the reasons for the colonists to seek independence, as well as the legitimate reasons to overthrow a future government. The text states that this is a legitimate action when the government fails to protect the rights of the people or ensure their participation. Moreover, when a government becomes abusive and tyrannical, the people have the duty to overthrow it.
