which philosophy of government is part of the declaration of independence? the government must allow people to have unlimited freedoms without the rule of law. people must support the government even if they dislike it. the government is supposed to defend the rights of people. men and women are equal.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The Declaration of Independence emphasizes that the government's role is to protect the rights of the people. It is based on the social contract theory where the government gets its power from the consent of the governed. Unlimited freedoms without law (anarchy) is not supported. People have the right to change a government that fails to protect their rights (so they don't have to support a bad government). At the time of the Declaration, while it said "all men are created equal", women's equality was not a part of its philosophy in practice (though the idea of equality of rights for those considered part of the 'people' - initially white men - was there in a limited sense, but the main relevant point here is the government - rights relationship).

Answer:

The government is supposed to defend the rights of people.
