The best quote that reflects the principle of popular sovereignty in the Declaration of Independence is: <span>"He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected." </span>
Paine says that this argument fails to acknowledge the fact that America has already evolved and no longer needs the help of Britain. Some argues that Britain has protected America and deserves allegiance, but Paine says that the Britain only did this to secure its own economic well-being. Moreover, Paine says that the Britain recently attacks them, and are therefore lacking loyalty.
Hope this helps :)
