how does natural rights, social contract, and popular sovereignty relate to the declaration of independence

The declaration of independence was a document established as a claim for the withdrawal of British domination in American lands, which would allow the creation of a free, autonomous and independent society that would have rules and guidelines geared towards its growth and that would establish the commitment to fight the objectives of its members and its territory.

All of this is directly related to the concepts of "natural rights", "social contract" and "popular sovereignty". This is because natural rights establish that every human being has rights that must be guaranteed immediately after birth, such as the right to freedom, security and other rights that are irreversible and irrevocable. The social contract establishes that an association of individuals must be established with the creation of rules and conditions that organize this association and allows it to grow in an orderly and rational way. Popular sovereignty, in turn, asserts that the government established in a nation must function according to the objectives and wills of its people, who are the ones who have complete political power.
