To be a freed slave, being born in Rome, and by naturalization (by petitioning for citizenship of foreign-born)
<span>The Declaration of Independence</span>
The evidence found in the Declaration of Independence: "That
whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the
Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government,”
<span>The concept of natural rights and the notion of
the social contract were supreme in the thinking of the colonists when they dared
the right of Europe to control their economic and political lives. It's a
contract, meaning it can be cancelled by the people when they believe the
government is hindering their unalienable rights.

Answer:
"The Framers of the American Constitution were all visionaries. They designed our Constitution to endure. They sought not only to address the specific challenges facing the nation during their life, but to establish the foundational principles that would sustain and guide the new nation into an uncertain future. The text of the Constitution reflects this vision. It defines our most fundamental freedoms in general terms: “freedom of speech,” “due process of law,” “free exercise” of religion, “equal protection of the laws,” “cruel and unusual punishment.” The Constitution sets forth governmental powers in similarly general terms: Congress may regulate “commerce… among the several states,” the president will “take care that the laws be faithfully executed,” the courts are authorized to decide “cases” and “controversies"( GEOFFREY, MARSHALL, 2011). ”
