It's part of a history essay. It just seems like my sentences are too long, and I don't know how to organize it and make it flow easier.
The colonists believed also that when their government fails them, or fails to provide security of their rights, the same people who gave them the right to govern should also have the ability to take that right away or change its parameters so that the government will “build its foundation on such principles”. The colonists felt that long standing governments should not be changed for petty reasons; however, when there is a long series of abuses of authoritative power, to the point that the government tries to reduce a society’s human rights, then it becomes the “duty” of the governed to overthrow such a government.
