What is the central belief about government expressed in the beginning of the Declaration of Independence?

According to the central belief of the Declaration of Independence, a government is chosen by the people of a nation and is answerable to them.

If the government does not perform well, or does not ensure security and justice, the people has the power to change it.

Explanation:

Democratic rights, freedom of speech, and the right to vote are an integral part of the Deceleration of Independence.

The government has the power to create new laws and legislature, ensure security, put criminals behind bars etc. However, the power is given to them by the people and governance should be conducted according to the wishes of population.

Hence, every four years, people in the United States are given a chance to either vote out the government and select new representatives. However, if a population is satisfied with the performance, they will reelect their chosen ones representatives.
