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.

Kryger [21]

The correct answer is D) All of the above.

The type of power must every government hold? is Executive, Legislative, and Judicial.

We are talking about the division of powers under the system of checks and balances that the founding fathers established for the United States under three branches. The Executive branch, that is the President of the United States and his cabinet. The Legislative branch, that is the two chambers of the US Congress: the lower chamber or House of Representatives and the upper chamber or the Senate. And finally, the Judicial branch is the US Supreme Court. This is the structure of the federal government of the United States.
