What argument do the authors of the declaration of independence make?

b. the king should apologize to the colonists because he has not protected their freedom.
c. britain should create a new government for the colonists because the current government is not sufficient.
d. the writers of the declaration should rule the colonies because they can do a better job than britain.

A. The colonists should separate from Britain because Britain does not protect the colonists' rights.

Explanation:

The central claim of the authors of the Declaration of Independence makers is that "all men are created equal" and it is the "government's responsibility" to secure the rights of the citizens. They suggest that if the government fails in any manner to accomplish these demands, then the citizens have the right to "alter or abolish it". Thus, they demand separation from the British as they failed to protect the rights of the colonists'.

b is the answer for this question.
