Answer:

Government authority comes from the consent of the governed

Explanation:

According to John Locke, people who are citizens of a country were born with certain fundamental human rights such as; right to life, liberty, and property. This was the basis of his theory of Social Contract Theory, which states that there is an actual contract between government and its citizens.

The declaration of independence clearly reflects this perspective of John Locke in it's assertion that the government derives its authority from the consent of the people and the people have a right to resist or replace the existing government with a new system.

Why did the United States establish the Open Door policy?
olga55 [171]
Many great European powers had been exploiting China's weak economic system to enforce their own trade regulations for years. The United States simply wanted to join the fray, so the Open Door notes were sent to the European powers basically stating, "Hey, you guys can't own all of China, make sure that all countries get to trade equally with them."

Just as a side note, the Open Door policy with China was extremely hypocritical for the United States, as the Monroe Doctrine of 1823 basically stated that none of the European powers could interfere with the Western Hemisphere... While no one was allowed to touch the Americas, the United States was apparently allowed to mess with the rest of the world.
