This question is about the novella "Animal Farm" by George Orwell.

Answer and Explanation:

Why do some of the hens rise up against Napoleon?

Napoleon determines that they will start selling the hens' eggs. His excuse for doing so is to obtain materials for the construction of the windmill. According to him, all the animals will have to make sacrifices, and that is the hens' sacrifice to make. The hens are not happy about it and decide to rebel. They fly and perch themselves upon the rafters, so that the eggs they lay will fall to the floor and break open.

How does Napoleon react to their insubordination?

To punish them and end their strike, Napoleon ordered the hens' rations to be stopped. He even determines that no animal shall give the hens any food, or else they will be killed as a punishment. The excerpt below is evidence:

<em>When the hens heard this, they raised a terrible outcry. They had been warned earlier that this sacrifice might be necessary, but had not believed that it would really happen. [...] the hens made a determined effort to thwart Napoleon's wishes. Their method was to fly up to the rafters and there lay their eggs, which smashed to pieces on the floor. Napoleon acted swiftly and ruthlessly. He ordered the hens' rations to be stopped, and decreed that any animal giving so much as a grain of corn to a hen should be punished by death. [...] For five days the hens held out, then they capitulated and went back to their nesting boxes. Nine hens had died in the meantime. </em>

Answer: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

The excerpt from the Declaration of Independence that explains a reason to “dissolve political bands” is "...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.

The Declaration of Independence supports the dissolution of political bands when a government destroys rather than secures its citizens' rights. If the government can’t protect its people and liberties, then they have to alter ir or abolish it.  The people have the right to start a revolution. The form of government always should be a government of people for the people’s rights.
