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.

The second role is to participate in the election of governments, to oversee the governments actions, and to demand change or removal in case the government does things that go against the common will.

Why did the United States advocate for the creation of The kellogg-briand Pact
nadya68 [22]
The United States advocated for the creation of the Kellogg-Briand Pact because they wanted to outlaw war. They hoped that the signatories will ensure that there will be no causes of war and there will be a peaceful relationship among the nations. 

The United States don't want to engage in another World War after it has experienced the losses that World War I brought them as a nation.
