Answer 1

Answer:

In their arguments, the writers of both declarations agree that the existing government.

A. has gotten its power from the people whom it governs

Explanation:

Power comes from the people to the state, which in turn, exercises the power on behalf of the people.  This is the basis for all forms of democratic governments and expressions.  Without the people entrusting their powers to the state, the state lacks powers of its own.  Therefore, there must be accountability for the use of the entrusted powers, otherwise a state of anarchy will prevail.
