b. The right to citizenship
c. Human rights of citizens, including life and liberty
d. The right to remain silent when interrogated by police

Answers

Answer: c. Human rights of citizens, including life and liberty.

The Declaration of Independence does not outline the specific civil and political rights that American citizens, or any other citizens for that matter, will receive in the new country.
