Detailed explanation-1: -“Consent of the governed” refers to the idea that a government’s legitimacy and moral right to use state power is justified and lawful only when consented, or agreed to, by the people over which that political power is exercised.
Detailed explanation-2: -Popular sovereignty is the principle that the authority of a state and its government are created and sustained by the consent of its people, who are the source of all political power.
Detailed explanation-3: -The idea of consent of the governed came from political philosopher John Locke (1632–1704), who wrote about the concept in his Two Treatises of Government. Locke argued that a government exists to serve the people, who are all equal citizens, and the people have the right to rebel if the government fails at this duty.
