Answer:

According to the Declaration of Independence, the government gets its power to govern <u>from the people that it governs</u>

Explanation:

Following Enlightenment ideas, the Declaration of Independence of the thirteen American colonies (1776), affirmed that the power of the government derived from the consent of the people and was instituted in order to protect their unalienable rights of “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness,” however, it also asserted that people had the right to change the government and institute a new one when it failed to secure those rights. The British Crown had failed to protect these rights and it had repeatedly abused from its powers, hence, in the document, the American colonies formally declared its independence from Britain.
