The Declaration of Independence and the constitution.
One of the Enlightenment thinkers who believed that people had the right to overthrow bad governments was John Locke. Locke argued that if a government fails to protect the natural rights of its citizens – life, liberty, and property – then the people have the right to rebel and establish a new government.
