1) A government based on a social contract.

The preamble to the Declaration of Independence holds that all men are created equal, and has certain unalienable rights, such as Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. And in order to secure these rights, people have the power to institute a government, but they also have the power to abolish it whenever it became destructive.

This form of government is the same that the English philosopher John Locke proposed in his "Two Treatises of Government" (1689). Lock held that men are by nature free and equal, but with the purpose to interact in a healthy society, it was necessary that they transferred some of their rights to a government in a social contract. Such government had to be elected by the people and changed by the people, and had to protect their unalienable rights.
