According to the Declaration of Independence, the power of a government comes from the people. Keep in mind, however, that the Declaration of Independence does not serve as legal authority. Instead, the Declaration of Independence serves as a philosophical critique of previous forms of government, and as a mission statement for self-governance. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/According_to_the_Declaration_of_Independence_where_does_the_power_of_government_come_from
