Question

the declaration of independence is considered the first formal assertion by a people of their right to
revolution.
self - government
liberty.
vote.

Explanation:

The Declaration of Independence was a formal assertion by the American colonists of their right to self - government. It declared that the colonies were no longer under British rule and that they had the right to govern themselves. The concept of self - government is central to the Declaration, as it was a response to what the colonists saw as unjust British rule. While liberty is also an important theme in the Declaration (e.g., "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness"), the key assertion in terms of a political statement about their status was self - government. Revolution is the act (the American Revolution was the war fought for independence), and the right to vote is not the main focus of the Declaration (at that time, voting rights were limited in the new United States and not a central theme of the Declaration itself).

Answer:

self - government.
