When individuals unite to form a government, agree to this government for rights protection, and commit to maintaining collective order and security, it is better to write the rules of consent – a contract. Whether the nation has 13 states or 50 , with 3 million or 330 million citizens, a country as vast and diverse as the United States needs a written contract between the government and the citizens. Another separation, sometimes made, is between overtacted consent and tacit consent. An unsurpassed consent to be valid would require volunteering, a special act on the part of the consenters, a particular act to which they have consented, and certain agents who perform this action. Immigration to a given jurisdiction is sometimes seen as an unwavering law that gives the government`s approval of that jurisdiction`s decision. However, not all those governed by a particular government have immigrated to that jurisdiction; some were born there; However, others argue that the power to emigrate (i.e. from a jurisdiction) implies such a omission of consent. The political world around the world, absolute governments that do not even divert attention from the fiction of consent, are more frequent than free governments, and their subordinates rarely question their right, unless tyranny becomes too oppressive. [1]:603 According to propagandist Edward Bernays in discussing the public relations techniques described in his essay and the book The Engineering of Consent (1955), the public can be manipulated by his unconscious desire to make voting a political candidate. The resulting approval undermines the legitimacy of the government. Bernays said that “the basic principle is simple, but important: if public opinion is to control the government, these opinions should not be controlled by the government.” [10] How did the delegates of the Constitutional Convention resolve their differences on slavery? The theory of literal approval is the logical position that valid approval must designate the final authority of the people and not elected officials, which means that the people have the absolute sovereign power to overstep their government at any time by referendum (or, as stated in the declaration of independence, “the right of the people to amend or abolish their government”). Without this unlimited power, the theorists of this species are that there can be no real approval and that every government is therefore a despotism in governing the people by force without its actual consent.

That the elections of members who serve as representatives of the people in the Assembly should be free; and that all persons who have sufficient evidence of a lasting common interest in the Community, who have the right to vote and cannot be taxed or deprived of their property without their consent or those of their elected representatives, are not bound by a law which they have not approved in the same way for the common good. [5] Consent – Citizens may agree to waive certain freedoms from the government of the Authority and the rule of law in order to obtain a benefit such as security/agreement of the governed is a phrase found in the declaration of independence of the United States. The people could therefore withdraw their adherence to attention and form another government for their protection, popular sovereignty. For Locke, revoking consent meant replacing one monarch with another. The appointment of delegates to these two congresses has generally been carried out by popular assemblies, but in some cases by state assemblies. However, the candidate cannot under any circumstances be regarded as the original custodian of the power with which the delegates acted; Because assemblies were either self-proclaimed “security committees” or hasty popular assemblies, including, but only a small part of the population to be represented, and state assemblies were not allowed to give another body an atom of power granted to them, or to create a new power that the people had to govern without their will.
