If the government did not protect the people’s rights what could they do

History

fgiga [73]3 years ago

According to the theory underpinning the Declaration of Independence, known as Natural Law, if a government becomes tyrannous, the people have the right to overthrow it and replace it with a government more responsible to the inalienable, God-given rights of human beings.

The whole rationale behind the Declaration of Independence and the revolt against George III rests on the premise that the British government was treating the colonists unfairly: they had no representation in parliament but were forced to pay high taxes. The British government, they believed, was imposing unjust laws on them.

The Enlightenment theory of Natural Law is expressed in John Locke's Second Treatise of Civil Government, a source document for the Declaration of Independence. The concept of Natural Law challenged the older theory of the Divine Rights of Kings, a school of thought that argued kings or rulers couldn't be replaced from below, because God had anointed them to rule, and they were, therefore, even if tyrannous, doing God's will.

Answer:

freedom of the press.

Explanation:

If that is what you meant

Freedom of the press:Freedom of the press or freedom of the media is the principle that communication and expression through various media, including printed and electronic media, especially published materials, should be considered a right to be exercised freely. Such freedom implies the absence of interference from an overreaching state; its preservation may be sought through constitution or other legal protection and security.

Without respect to governmental information, any government may distinguish which materials are public or protected from disclosure to the public. State materials are protected due to either one of two reasons: the classification of information as sensitive, classified or secret, or the relevance of the information to protecting the national interest. Many governments are also subject to "sunshine laws" or freedom of information legislation that are used to define the ambit of national interest and enable citizens to request access to government-held information.

The United Nations' 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights states: "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference, and to seek, receive, and impart information and ideas through any media regardless of frontiers".[1]

This philosophy is usually accompanied by legislation ensuring various degrees of the freedom of the scientific research (known as the scientific freedom), the publishing, and the press. The depth to which these laws are entrenched in a country's legal system can go as far down as its constitution. The concept of freedom of speech is often covered by the same laws as freedom of the press, thereby giving equal treatment to spoken and published expression. Sweden was the first country in the world to adopt freedom of the press into its constitution with the Freedom of the Press Act of 1766.
