Answer:    The power, legitimacy, authority of the government come from its citizens

Explanation:  Since the Declaration was written under the direct influence of the Enlightenment ideas, the second paragraph gives meaning, that is, the basic thesis, which is why the Declaration was written. Since, according to Enlightenment ideas, all people are born equal with the same innate natural rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of personal happiness, so these same people have the right to choose a government that protects the natural rights of their citizens. This means that if a government is tyrannical, as was the British rule over the 13 colonies, then the citizens have the right to overthrow and replace such a government, which was the for writing a declaration as a guarantor and guide to creating a state independent of British rule that was tyrannical and all in line with the Enlightenment ideas. That is why the second paragraph speaks of a government that will protect the interests and rights of citizens, i.e the government's mandate, authority and powers come from the people, which is a prerequisite that, according to the Enlightenment, such a government should not be tyrannical.

kramer

After reading the passage above, one can infer that it belongs to an article or an essay which purpose is to inform the reader about the population boom and its consequences (cause-effect writing). The writer developed the main event in the introduction of the passage and then added supporting sentences about the consequences of that main event. The population is growing in cities such as San Antonio, Phoenix, and Los Angeles and this event has serious effects on the desert environment of these cities mentioned earlier, being the most obvious one the water shortages. The reader can infer all this information thanks to the organization of the text and the words or connectors used. The organization that has been used by the writer is The Casual Chain (one effect is a cause of another effect, which in turn can become a cause of another effect, and so on) and some of the words/connectors chosen to describe the relationship of the events are “result”, “Because…,”, and “concern”.
