Answer: He was more interested in mining and exaggerated the potential mineral wealth of the area.
"In 1715, Cadillac and his son Joseph prospected in the Illinois Country (Upper Louisiana), where they claimed to have discovered a copper mine, although there is no copper ore in that area. They established a farm and founded the settlement of St. Philippe on the east side of the Mississippi River. Cadillac directed the first mining of lead in present-day Missouri at what is now called Mine La Motte on the west side of the river. The French brought in slaves to work at the mine; they were the first people of African descent in the future state of Missouri. The production of lead was important for ammunition in the colonies. The Southeast Missouri Lead District is still a major source of that metal.
After many arguments, Crozat withdrew any authority Cadillac had in the company. The following year, he ordered Cadillac removed from colonial office."
"Consent of the governed" essentially allows the people to run the government and not the other way around. The government gets all of its power from the people, and the people run the government. If the majority of the people do not agree with the government, they have the means to change it.
In 1984, Gregory Lee Johnson burned an American flag outside a convention center in Dallas, Texas, where the Republican National Convention was being celebrated. He did it as a way to protest the government and he was subsequently arrested and charged for his action, but he appealed and the Supreme Court heard his case. The majority of the Supreme Court agreed with him, arguing that burning the flag was an example of symbolic speech as protected by the First Amendment. This demonstrates that Johnson's right of free speech was recognized and respected.
