The Declaration of Independence describes natural rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and says government gets its power from the consent of the governed—a form of social contract. The Bill of Rights protects individual rights, and the Constitution separates power among the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. The Declaration does not endorse a monarch or support the colonial government; it declares independence from British rule.
