What line from the Decleration of Independence does Nicolas Cage quote in National Treasure?

What sentence from the Declaration of Independence best develops the idea that people have a right to revolt against a tyrannical authority?
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them to absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.
When tyranny becomes law resistance becomes duty?
Yes, I don't know what country you live in, but in the Declaration of Independence it states: "But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
What according to Jefferson are people obligated to do in the face of despotism?
According to the Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson among others, it is the citizen's civic duty to "alter or abolish" any oppressive form of government. Despite his historical standing as a revolutionary hero, as a lawyer and diplomat he was probably referring to political action and not violence.
What is a critical rule for determining whether something is a public good?
Read the preamble to the Constitution. More particularly, read the Declaration of Independence. I quote two entries: "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, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." "But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
