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.

According to john smith's account in the general history of virginia…, what finally kept the jamestown colony from starvation an
nasty-shy [4]

Jamestown, Virginia, experienced the terrible starving time in the 1609 until next year, running out of food and becoming ridden with diseases, that the population fell from more than 100 to only 60. According to Smith, many of the settlers were from aristocratic backgrounds and so were not inclined to work. Then he enforced the rule “that he that will not work shall not eat”  and enforced it with punishments or banishment from the fort. With the rule and some luck, Smith succeeded in making the colony self-sufficient.
