Answer:

A.) "We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America…do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States."

Explanation:

Letter A shows an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence where the representatives of the United States of America declare the independence of the country because that is the will of the people and because the people are an authority, that desire must be fulfilled. This shows the principle of popular sovereignty which is the doctrine by which the state is created and is submissive to the will of the people, who are the source of all political power
