Everything about Consent Of The Governed totally explained
"
Consent of the governed" is a
political theory stating that a
government's
legitimacy and
moral right to use
state power are, or ought to be, derived from the
people or
society over which that power is exercised. This theory of "consent" is historically contrasted to the
divine right of kings and has often been invoked against the
legitimacy of
colonialism.
In the United States
Using thinking similar to that of English political scientist
John Locke, the founders of the
United States believed in a state built upon the consent of "free and equal" citizens; a state otherwise conceived would lack the legitimacy and the authority to exercise legal authority
