Well, Liz,” wrote one commenter, “this may come as a surprise to you, but the Constitution very clearly states…

‘That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That 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'”

That's in the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution.

“That’s in the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution.”

They’re both considered “Founding Documents.”
