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.
