Explanation:

1. "The purpose of government is to make sure people get their rights" - The Declaration of Independence emphasizes that government exists to secure unalienable rights of people.
2. "People have rights that no government should take away" - The Declaration states people have certain rights (like life, liberty, pursuit of happiness) that governments can't infringe.
3. "If a government is bad, the people should get rid of it and start a new government" - The Declaration asserts that when a government becomes destructive to these ends, people have the right to alter or abolish it.

The other two statements ("The best leaders will rise to the top" and "The federal government should share power with the states") are not principles of the Declaration of Independence (the latter is about federalism, not the Declaration, and the former is not a Declaration principle).

Answer:

• The purpose of government is to make sure people get their rights.
• People have rights that no government should take away.
• If a government is bad, the people should get rid of it and start a new government.
