Question

The ideals of the declaration: which is most important? (thesis statement)

Answer 1

I would go with this, "But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government."  - the right to create a new government if there are abuses.
